Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 15, 1909: “The Jayhawker basketball team got revenge for its earlier loss to Washington of St. Louis by posting a 23-18 victory last night in St. Louis. KU had won 20 straight games before Washington’s 28-26 upset, and the second game was a furious as the first as the Jayhawkers started a new winning streak. … Warm weather affected the hens and the prices of eggs dropped by eight cents a dozen today, welcome news to housewives.”
