Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 26, 1908: It was a major Thanksgiving Day as the Kansas football team defeated Missouri 10-4 in Kansas City and completed the season unbeaten, with a 9-0 record. Hundreds from here had gone to the game and felt greatly rewarded by the victory … In Lawrence, it was a very quiet Thanksgiving with a number of church services and a Haskell Institute dinner for more than 100 boys and girls.”
