I'm writing a game on 1951, but the book I'm looking at, "Illlini Legends, Lists & Lore", covers, naturally, academic rather than calendar years. So for the 1950-51 entry it mentions that the first coed cheerleaders for the Illini began on September 30, 1950, in a game against Ohio University. It shows a picture of the four comely coeds. Across their chests is not "Illinois" or "Fighting Illini." It's one simple word:
Cheer.
