From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 13, 1909: “After winning 20 straight victories, the Jayhawker basketball team went down to defeat before the strong Washington of St. Louis team, in St. Louis, last night by a score of 28-26. The game was furious and the crowd was a wild one. . . . Lincoln’s birthday here on Feb. 12 led to a great deal of rejoicing and a visit by more than 400 from the Kansas Legislature officers and staff.”
