THE WAVE



In the Village Voice of 15 July 1997, pg. 117, cols. 2-4, was Nathan

Ward's "THE DEATH OF THE WAVE: IT ONCE RULED STADIUMS. WHAT KILLED

THE

MAGIC?"

Ward gives credit to the University of Washington's former cheerleader

and later Entertainment Tonight host Robb Weller and U. of W. bandleader Bill

Bissell at a Husky football game of 31 October 1981.

No mention is made of an important "wave" article, Lisa Twyman's "WHENCE

CAME THE WAVE? COLORADO HOCKEY OR FOOTBALL IN WASHINGTON?" in

Sports

Illustrated, 12 November 1984, pg. 11. Krazy George, a/k/a George Henderson,

claims that he used it at Colorado Rockies hockey games, then at the

nationally broadcast baseball playoff game in California between the Oakland

A's and the New York Yankees, on 15 October 1981.

I was in Seattle and at the U. of W. last year and forgot to verify

this. I can do it when I go to the Library of Congress, though, on some

future weekend.
