From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 1, 1910: Kansas University is still officially without a football coach for next fall. The athletic board has seldom taken so long to finalize the issue and Bert Kennedy, while he wants the job, will not beg for it. Further, he will not return without a raise in his salary. He could not be replaced by anyone for even $2,000 a year and he has indicated he might settle for $200 less than that. He has his enemies, including some fraternity men who he said are trying to run the team. But nobody has come close to Kennedy for winning games and he should be back for a seventh season. The board should finalize the issue immediately. . . . Further, there are those who would abolish football entirely and there are problems with the conference. But the future of a great college sports at the university is hazy right now. . . . A family northwest of Lawrence has six children with scarlet fever and if a doctor had not arrived when he did, two of them almost surely would have died. The whole family of J.F. Davis has been stricken and one child may still die.
