From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 19, 1907: “Joplin is trying to land the Kansas-Missouri football game on Thanksgiving. It is a place where some people recently blew up a newspaper plant because it printed something they did not like. The game will not be in Kansas City as usual because of a man’s attempt to charge unrealistic fees for field rental. : Within a few days, the university will be open and Lawrence again will be the center of football activity, rushing parties and congregations of young people experiencing a valuable education climate. We need to point out that education is the key priority and should not get lost in the flurry of so many related events at KU.”
