From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 21, 1908: “The city still has taken no final action on granting a franchise for the local street car operation. Many citizens are displeased by the dilatory action of the council and feel the city is losing valuable ground in development. : Seven members of the KU football squad were notified yesterday that their classwork is in arrears and unless they make amends in two weeks they will be dismissed from the squad. “
