AT Swarthmore, it was "repel them, repel them, make them relinquish the ball," which scans better.

Hadn't heard that version before, but at South Salem High School we liked the fact that it didn't scan. We were into the dorkiness factor. (We also pronounced "repel" as "repple".)

If you gotta have football, you should have poetry too. Swarthmore eventually dropped the football.
