The first 20 years of the century have often been called the "Dead Ball" era (or Age of the Pitcher) in Baseball. Teams played "Small Ball" (embodied by Ty Cobb). In the 1920s, the advantage switched over to the hitter and the Age of the Homerun was born (embodied by Babe Ruth). First, why did the pitchers dominate in the early part of the century, what was "small ball" and why did that all change after 1920? Also, compare the lives and careers of both Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth.

Dead ball - Time in which pitchers were dominant and offensive production was at an all-time low - Belief that the offensive production dropped because of the makeup of the ball itself. The ball was believed to be more loosely wound than the current ball and only one ball was used per game Age of the Homerun - From 200 home runs per season to over 600 - Smaller ballparks, intro to a new kind of ball that jumped off the bat (jackrabbit ball), outlawing of spitball and use of more balls during the game Babe Ruth - Abandoned the inside game - Live ball era - More power than finesse - Hitter and pitcher - Started trend of players hitting for the fences Ty Cobb - Critic of the new technique of power over finesse - "Homerun would wreck baseball" - Hitter - Inside Game - Different time period- different techniques and different balls - Better batting average

Using the history provided in Chapter 14 of the textbook, please provide a detailed history of Nebraska football. Be sure to not just give an independent history of Husker football but also include in it a comparison of what was happening in college football in general during the same period (roughly the last century).

Nebraska started playing football around the turn of the 20th century. It was one of the charter members of the Big 8 Conference. The university was founded in 1869 and in 1890, on Thanksgiving Day, fielded it's first football team defeating the Omaha YMCA. Over the next decade the program was very successful going through many coaches and names before finally settling on Walter Booth and the Cornhuskers. Booth was followed by his successor, Ewald Stiehm who also saw a very successful season. During Stiehm's coaching years, NCAA made some major changes and college football became democratized. This meant that it was spreading over the country and becoming more known. Nebraska football went through a rough period in the late fifties until Bob Devaney took over. He hired Tom Osborne as the offensive coordinator and together they were very successful winning two national championships in 1970 and 1971. Once Devaney retired, Osborne took over the program. He was also very successful winning three national championships in 1994, 1995, and 1997. Osborne became the greatest college coach of all time. Since this time, Nebraska has gone through sever coaches, but none have been as successful as Tom Osborne.

We've discussed the following five (5) eras in class this semester: Puritans, Republicanism, Victorianism, "New" Middle Class of the early 20th Century, and the Sporting Ideology of the second half of the 20th Century. Please first define each of these eras and second what effect they had on sports of the time.

Puritans - This was the culture of the New England colonies. It took place during the seventeenth century. The Puritans highly valued God and believed they should spend all their time productively. The only sports the Puritans participated in were sports they deemed lawful, which meant it had to better the mind, body, and spirit. Due to this, sports were prevented from flourishing in the American colonies unless they were seen as lawful. Republicanism - This was the idea that the new nation that would emerge after the war would be separate from any European nation. It would give the power to the citizens. This took place in the later 18th century. To give the power to the citizens meant that they had to be frugal and hardworking. This had a negative effect on sports because they did not believe in idle recreation. Sports were being banned during this time period. Victorianism - Middle Class Victorianism was the belief that there was commonality between the middle classes of the western industrializing world. This took place during the 19th century. Three common themes of Victorianism were Evangelical Protestantism, hard work, and self-restraint. Sports were also not accepted in this time among these people because they did not support self-restraint. This had a negative effect on sports. However, there was a Victorian Counterculture that highly accepted sports, so this helped keep sports alive. "New" Middle Class - Took place during the early 20th century. This replaced the Victorian middle class. This culture wanted excitement and sports was an outlet for excitement. Due to this, sports were widely accepted and began to flourish in this time period. Sporting Ideology - Took place during the later 20th century. Sports were coming widely accepted as entertainment. The term sports ideology formed because sports were viewed as a positive way to escape the negative aspects of life. This was the start of how we view sports today.

Which of the following was NOT introduced during the 1930s to increase interest in baseball during the depression? -All-Star game -Night Baseball -Racial Integration -Hall of Fame
