The undisputed true origins of the term âhat trickâ comes from the wildly popular sport, cricket. Interestingly, the use of the term is different than in other sports in that it is awarded for defensive play, rather than offensive.
Robert Geiger, an Associated Press reporter who was a sports aficionado, coined the name Dust Bowl, referring to the dust blown lands of the Great Plains. He was familiar with the Rose Bowl, other similar sports arenas in existence at that time, and in the scooped-out windswept regions of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, saw a tongue-in cheek slight physical similarity.
