The game came and went, and the Gophers got killed 28-0. The cheer didn't work. It just didn't roll off of the tongue the right way. Something different had to be done to get the Gopher fans riled up. This is where Jack Campbell, a then first-year medical student, stepped in and he became the first ever cheerleader. Someone needs to lead the yells with organized cheering, he explained. And there needed to be variety, not just "He's all right" and "They're all right." So, the next game, Campbell led the crowd in a cheer that marked history. Thus, cheerleading in the United States was born.

比赛很快就结束了，明尼苏达人以0比28的比分惨败。欢呼没起到任何作用，因为呐喊口号实在是不顺口。看来必须采用其他办法来让明尼苏达队的球迷兴奋起来。此时一位名叫杰克?坎贝尔的医学系新生加入进来，他成为有史以来第一位啦啦队长。他解释说需要有人引导大家有组织地齐声呐喊欢呼，而且口号也应该是多种多样的，而不能只是“他很棒”或“他们棒极了”这样的话。于是，在接下来的比赛中，坎贝尔带领大家进行的欢呼为啦啦队的发展写下了新的历史篇章。就这样，啦啦队在美国诞生了。
