From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan 21, 1907: “Basketball fever is running high at Baker University after two big games were won from the Chicago Crescents, one of the finest teams from that area. Baker apparently has a very good team this year and is looking forward to many more big victories. : A mass meeting is planned tonight at the Opera House to discuss the chances for getting a major farm implement factory here from Springfield, Ohio. The Commercial Club is behind the effort and the prospects of getting the factory appear very bright. A. Henley, of Lawrence, is due to go to Springfield to make an appeal for the shift here and he hears good things about Lawrence’s chances. : The Santa Fe was back in business in the De Soto area today after tracks had been rearranged after a fatal wreck there yesterday, which killed two. It was a day of accidents all over the Midwest for rail operations and the worst mishaps were in Indiana, where some 10 reportedly died. Faulty tracks and poor switching policies seem to be the main causes and this is inexcusable.”
