Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 10, 1906: “The Washburn and Kansas University football teams tied 0-0 after a hard-fought game that left KU with a 5-1-0 record for the year. The KU loss was at St. Louis. : Many women from Lawrence will attend the annual meeting of the Kansas Equal Suffrage Assn. Nov. 14 in Topeka. Another petition is being formed to send to the legislature. : Experts say the Kansas University Geological Survey has just issued the finest and most complete report on the lead and zinc industry of the state that has ever been compiled. : The university band uniforms arrived and were worn for the first time for the KU-Washburn football game. The students did much to raise the money for the uniforms and they have been well-accepted by spectators.”
