From the Lawrence Daily World of Oct. 8, 1906: “The local diphtheria epidemic seems to be spreading, though slowly, with two new cases quarantined. So far, there have been 71 cases and a fifth death has occurred. There have been four fumigations and 62 are still in quarantine. Schools, the library and the YMCA are closed until there is a decided change in the picture. : The KU football team now is 3-0 after defeating St. Mary’s 18-0 and the next test will be Oct. 13 against Arkansas here. Interest is high in Bert Kennedy’s team.”
