From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 9, 1907: “The Kansas-Nebraska football game here is drawing in many people from all over, many of them former players for the schools. It is due to be a high-level contest and the Nebraskans come here saying they are quite confident. : Local banks survived recent financial troubles across the nation and that is a good testament to the kind of leadership we have in that field. . . . Football games are worth money to towns. Lawrence people spent $5,000 while in Topeka for the Washburn game and we will benefit with Nebraska coming here.”
