Never- theless, Miami played New Year's Day games in 1927, 1928 and 1929. The games received little publicity and were not part of any festival. Henry Dutton, director of recreation for the Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, first promoted the idea of a post-season football game to attract tourists to the area. Dutton lured the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame to play an exhibition on New Year's Day, 1926. He added fireworks, parades, bands, dancing and a golf exhibition with Tommy Armour, Bobby Jones, Leo Diegie and Gene Sarazen and called the three-day affair "The Fiesta of the American Tropics.” Three days was the extent of it. Dutton did not attempt a second "fiesta." In the spring of 1929 a group of Miami business men formed their own version of a quarterback club to help the revitalized University of Miami rebuild its football program. The stock First AP Wire Photo market crash and Miami's up-and-down teams did not discourage the group, then known as the Greater Miami Athletic Association. It was from this nucleus that the Orange Bowl Committee was born. The 1930 University of Miami squad won three games, lost four and tied one, scoring only 26 points and giving up 102. But the support group pressed on, confident that the Hurricanes would improve and tourists would someday flock to the town for "Football in the Tropics." The leaders pointed out that the tiny little community in Pasadena, Calif., had done wonders with its Tournament of Roses and were determined to do the same for Miami. It did not seem to matter to them that Pasadena was less than 15 miles from Los Angeles, a community of more than two million in those years. Miami's population in 1930 was 110,637. By 1932, the enthusiasm of the association's membership came to a boil. Plans for the first "Palm Festival" were formulated. "Have a Green Christmas in Miami" was the slogan, and a festival football game was scheduled for Moore Park. Wooden bleachers, seating 1,800, were erected at the corner of N.W. 7th Avenue and 36th Street. Inaugural game: January 1, 1935

Meehan agreed to hold the difference down to “no more than three touchdowns.” The Hurricanes, meanwhile, got coaching assistance from immortal Bob Zuppke of Illinois. Miami’s head coach, Tommy McCann, had played under Zuppke. Thinking the result a foregone conclusion, Seiler ordered a giant "Congratulations Manhattan" cake for the post-game party. Miami had other ideas. The Hurricanes, as gutty as the soon-to-be-formalized Orange Bowl Committee, held off repeated Manhattan threats, once at the 3-inch line, and won, 7-0. Miami drove from its 44 for the lone touchdown in the fourth quarter, Cecil Cook scoring from two yards out.

Keith Phillips (right) in 1937 The first Palm Festival was light years removed from the pageantry of today's Orange Bowl, but some notice was served that in the future when football was played in Miami, the game would not be the only attraction. Just before kickoff, an auto moved on the field with an oversized replica of a football on top. A cannon boomed, the football opened and dozens of pigeons fluttered into the sunshine - Seiler's first "extravaganza." In 1934, W. Keith Phillips, chairman of the Greater Miami Athletic Club and President of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, invited Seiler and others to his office to discuss the prospect of a New Year’s Day football game—to be played at Miami Stadium—to succeed the first two Palm Festivals of 1933-34.

NEBRASKA WINS BACK-TO-BACK NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Alabama’s Ray Perkins (88) and Joe Namath (12) In the 1970s, the Orange Bowl again saw some of the game’s greatest coaches on its sidelines: Bryant, Paterno, Devine, Notre Dame’s Ara Parseghian, LSU’s Charles McClendon, Michigan’s , State’s , Arkansas’ Lou Holtz and Oklahoma’s Barry Switzer each led their teams to Orange Bowl appearances, but the decade truly belonged to Nebraska’s Bob Devaney.

The Mountaineers’ 70 points set an all- time bowl record while Smith’s six touchdown passes and Tavon Austin’s four touchdown recep- tions both set Orange Bowl records and tied all-time bowl records.
