Old home town – 100 years ago today

From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 8, 1905: “The World has received a circular asking that football at all levels be suspended for a year so rules changes can cut down on the violence and injuries. That is unlikely to happen because football is so popular and would be missed. : Local police have planned several raids but in each instance someone has leaked and the parties have been tipped off. Is there someone on the police force who tells. Who does it? Whatever happens, it must be stopped so raids will be successful on liquor outlets and joints.”
