From the Lawrence Daily World for Nov. 24, 1909: “Mark my word,” says one dopester who has been following Kansas University football all season, “the great surprise in the Kansas-Missouri game will be the size of the score that Kansas piles up.” He has countless supporters here and around the state. Unbeaten Kansas plays Missouri on Nov. 26, Thanksgiving Day, in Kansas City. A crowd of more than 15,000 is being predicted. . . . The Haskell Institute football team will go to Lincoln to play Nebraska on Thanksgiving Day. KU beat Nebraska 6-0 earlier this year and it will be a difficult game for Haskell. . . . Railroads in the Northwest are being hit by the heaviest rains in years and in many places the tracks have been buried by landslides. Traffic is at a standstill. . . . For the first time in the history of the state, Kansas this year produced on its farms more than a half-billion dollars’ worth of farm produce. The exact figure is $532,685,245. The total is nearly $58 million higher than it was in 1908. All this occurred despite cold and wet weather at inopportune times.
