From the Lawrence Daily World for Dec. 3, 1910:

• “‘Well we are certain to have two months of fine winter weather,’ remarked the old timer this morning as he stopped on the corner to wait for a street car. ‘You know the first days of December rule the three winter months, and we are sure of clear sunshine during the major portion of December and January. That’s an old, old adage and I never knew it to be far from the truth,’ he added as he swung on an uptown car.”
• “Perhaps it was the absence of vivid hued decorations, perhaps it was the failure to signally defeat Missouri, or perhaps it was the parting from its veteran coaches, which gave such an apparent air of depression to last night’s football banquet. To the student body and that portion of the faculty, whose appreciation of Coach Kennedy’s long service to Jayhawker football and his uniform success in developing victorious teams has grown into a personal fondness for the veteran coach, the occasion was almost a funeral. It meant the parting of the ways. The severing of relations between the university and Coaches Kennedy and Mosse.”
