...much of F.D.R.'s program through Congress in the famous "first 100 days." Just as fellow Texans Rayburn and Lyndon Johnson would do later, Garner operated behind the scenes. Through the first two F.D.R. terms he stayed hitched to Roosevelt, whom he called "Cap'n." A lifelong foe of Eastern banking interests, he had been a major force in forging a graduated income tax, guaranteeing bank deposits, and baiting big business.

And possibly more significant, the Ithacans are playing on their home field before a raucously partisan home crowd against a foe that doesn't travel well in its first away game of the year.
