ETV Looks at Politics
Through Wallace's Eyes-
Memorial Stadium, now in silent vi gil, awaits the opening of football frenzy.
ARE YOU READY?
Football Is Just 32
Days
Convince yourself that there
are onlv 32 days until the first
Nebraska football game and
it might be easier to finish
this article.
Big Red meets the Wyom
ing Cowboys in Lincoln on
Sept. 14, opening another
season of utter frenzy in the
state. Even Nixon might take
a backseat to barbershop talk
in '68 if the Cornhuskers have
a winner develop by
November.
And that is the big question
of the year will Nebraska
rebound after taking fifth
place in the Big Eight, drop
ping four crucial conference
games?
The answer lies in the Big
Eight itself. The conference
has balanced itself to that
point where there actually are
no real surprises anymore
any team on any day can win.
But that doesn't answer
many questions about the Big
Red. Gone are names like
Wayne Meylan, Ben Gregory,
Jerry Patton, Dennis Mor
rison, Dennis Richnafsky, : terman. heads an impressive
Barry Alvarez, Marv Mueller
. . . all familiar to Nebraska
football buffs. Meylan is one
of two Nebraskans named
twice to All America lists.
Many of the rest were in
cluded on All Big Eight lists.
in snort, a graduation gap
exists for the Big Red in '68.
But there is evidence to
suggest that coach Bob
Devaney has the manpower
to bridge that gap. Twenty
seven lettermen will return
17 offensive, . 10 defensive.
Leading the parade is Frank
Patrick, a junior from Derry,
ra., wno recovered trom in
juries caused by a hit-and-run
accident during high school
days almost completely
rewrite the Nebraska passing
records as a sophomore.
Fleetfooted Joe Orduna and
Dick Davis, two outstanding
Omaha products, give the
Nebraska running backfield
constant threats for potential
breakaway scoring power
Tom Penney, a two-year let
list ot ends wincn teatures a
dazzling array of sophomore
talent.
The defensive secondary is
rated strong, returning many
of the players who enabled
Nebraska to lead the national
collegiate statistics in pass
defense and total defense last
year. Linebackers are con
sidered to be experienced and
the line will be faster, but
will miss the explosiveness of
a 238-pound Meylan.
So the Huskers look good!
on paper. The team has been
chosen to be runner-up in the i
conference race, with I
Oklahoma successfully!
defending the championship it
won last year, by pre-seasonj
predictors.
But other teams look good
on paper also. Missouri
always has a potential win
ner, according to most Big
Eight coaches. Colorado,
which was picked to win the
league race last season, lost
many of its stars: but the
Golden Buffaloes also return
Away
a healthy nucleus with which
to work. Kansas, one of the
biggest surprises of last year
(it crushed Nebraska 10-0 in
1967) hopes to be more than
a surprise this year. Iowa
State has a new coach. And
Kansas State and Oklahoma
State appear stronger.
And then there are the non
conefrence foes. Wymoming,
Utah and Minnesota all offer
the highest calibre of competition.
So it looks like another
typical year of Husker
Hysteria. Seat 65.000
screaming fans (decked in
flaming scarlet outfits which
rival even the hippiest I within
the confines of Memorial

always manage their way into
the stadium . . . Grumble,
hiss, cheer, laugh, squirm,

give up . . . But always come
back for more.

Day celebration
The Lincoln Journal, then
a morning paper, deplored
the use of a parade for
political purposes such as the
promotion of the "maverick
candidates" on the "mongrel
ticket" sponsored by the
Alliance.
But the party blossomed.
According to records compil
ed in a Depth Report on
Nebraska Politics published
by the NU School of
Journalism, in 1890 the voters
tossed Republicans out of
j major offices for the first
Spvpii rtifforpnt nninns uppp ""lc rF''
wun uiajunes in me nouse
and the Senate.
In 1892 a Populist was sent
to the U.S. Senate, William
V. Allen. And, in 1894, Silas
A. Holcomb was elected
governor of Nebraska on a
represented and the parade
was called the largest parade
in the city's history (by the
local Farmers' Alliance
newspaper). Commenting in
his newspaper, the Alliance j
editor said "for vears thevl

petitioning for rights and' party's power began to

new

thunder tones just what the
grievances are . . . Certain
is it that the Giant, Monopoly,
faces a formidable foe when
he saw the parade of Lan
caster County's first Labor
of
the
quietly bowed out
political spotlight in
century.
In 1912, Nebraskans joined
the third party movement
which resulted after a split
in the Republican Party. It
had nominated William
Howard Taft as its candidate.
But Teddy Roosevelt broke
away, forming the
Progressive Party. The
Democrats ran W o o d r o w
Wilson, who won in part
because of the breakdown of
the Republicans. A fourth
candidate, Eugene Debs,
polled over ten thousand votes
on the Socialist ticket that
year in Nebraska.
But the beginning of World
War One saw the Midwest.
Nebraska included, become a
stalwart of isolationism, and
on the road to arch
conservatism.
Nebraskans were not great
supporters of Henry Wallace's
Progressive Party in 1948.
But, twenty years later,
another Wallace, George,
successfully brought his third
party (American-Independent)
to Nebraska at a con
vention in Omaha on March
4.
And now the two left-wing
parties are in the formation
stage.
