Her new book is Killers of the Dream
ANP
Lillian Smith, famed author of “Strange Fruit,” last month brought
the public another stirring story of the South in “Killers of the
Dream.” Partly autobiographical, partly socieligical, the book is de
scribed by critics as an attempt to open the gates that now bar man
kind from a fuller and richer life. Miss Smith is well known for
her work with the Rosenwald fund which terminated last year.

Albinos Nance, Nebraska’s fifth
governor, was only 30 years old
when elected, the youngest man
ever to be chosen as the state’s1
chief executive—although Keith
Neville, Nebraska's World Wai
I governor, was only 32 when
first elected; and Thomas H. Cum
ing and J. Sterling Morton, act
ing governors of the territory,
were mere boys ol 26 when first
appointed.
La Fayette, 111.. March 30, 1848.
La Fayette, 111., March 30, 1948.
He enlisted in the 9th Illinois
Cavalry when only 16 years of age
and fought with the regiment in
numerous Civil War battles. After
the war, he began the study of
law at Knox College in Galesburg,
111., and though he left before ;
securing his degree, he was ad
mitted to the bar of Illinois in
1870, at the age of 22.
Shortly Ihereafter, the young
man responded to the call of the
West, removing to Nebraska, j
where in 1871 he took a home
stead in Polk county. For a while
he tried combining the law and
agriculture, but his legal work
prospered to such a degree that
he decided to give it his full time,!
moving to Osceola where' he
opened an office.
Indicative of the rapidity with
w'hich young Nance established
himself in his new home was his
election to the state house of rep
resentatives in 1874, despite the
fact that he had been in the state
only three years and wfas only
26 years old. He wras re-elected
in 1876 and was chosen speaker
of the house of representatives.
Also during 1876 he served as
chairman of the Nebraska delega
tion to the Republican national
convention in Cincinnati.
The next honor to be heaped
upon the young man’s head w?as
his nomination for the governor
ship by the republican party in
1878. He defeated W. H. Web-j
ster, the democratic nominee, by
better than a two to one major
ity. He was re-nominated by
acclamation in 1880, defeating for
mer Sen. Thomas W. Tipton in
the general election.
Governor Nance’s administra
tion was relatively tranquil. The
state w*as beginning to shake off
the effects of the bitter depres
sion which had threatened tp
stunt its growth in the middle
Seventies, and was moving into
one of its greatest periods of pros
perity and growdh. The gover
nor contributed to stability by a
conservative and economical ad
ministration of the state’s affairs.

When the Juyhawker had
cleaned its claws and flown back
to its home down south, we took
a look at the statistics and discov
ered an Interesting fact.
Nebraska, weak last year on its
pass defense, ranked first in the
Big Seven on pass defense, that is,
yards gained by opponents on
passes. Nebraska led the loop,
having yielded only 463 yards to
foes via the sky in seven games.
Iowa State was next with 595
yards in eight games. Consider
ing the potent passing attack of
most of the Husker foes, we
feel that Glassford’s work on pass
defense has paid off. The Scarlet
defense deserves recognition, too,
for holding a powerful team, a
team that scored four touchdowns
against the mighty Sooners.
Efficiency in performance, ac
cording to Glassford’s grading
scale, improved almost 25 percent 1
from the time of the Oklahoma
game to the Kansas homecoming j
heartbreaker.
The Nebraska lads won every
thing but the score against KU. j
They outplayed the Jayhawkers at
every turn. Consistently they
marched the length of the field, |
but couldn’t crack the rugged KU
defense when it counted. A capac- j
ity homecoming crow’d cheered
and cringed alternately during i
the game.
After it was over, there was one
prevailing attitude. “We should
have won that game,” was a typi
cal comment expressed by play
ers, coaches and spectators.
But in taking another look at |
the future, we can’t help thinking
that things are looking better.
Glassford’s varsity and Ike Hans
com’s freshmen teams have gained
national acclaim. An article last
week by Whitney Martin from
New York reflects the view that
the nation is again looking to Ne
braska for more great football
teams.
At the expiration of his second
term, Governor Nance, still not
35 years old, “retired” to his
law practice at Osceola. A few
years later he removed to Lin
coln, and then to Chicago where
he engaged in handling railroad
stocks and bonds. He died Dec.
7, 1911.
