From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 23, 1915:

• “The Kansas basketball squad successfully made the third hurdle on the road to a Missouri Valley Conference championship by easily defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers by the score of 45 to 17 last night at the Robinson gymnasium. Early in the first half Kansas took the lead and from that time was never in danger. Nebraska seemed puzzled by the Jayhawker formations and in the greater part of the game was on the defensive…. From the start, the game showed signs of being a rough one, and as it progressed it proved to be such. Both teams were fighting for every inch of ground and due to this, the players on both sides were continually cautioned by Referee Lowman. Out of the fifteen fouls made, nine of them were personals. For the Jayhawkers, Capt. Dunmire, left guard, proved to be the victim of Lowman’s eagle eye and early in the second half was forced to retire from the game due to the fact that he had made four personal fouls…. The game was most interesting from the standpoint of the spectators and was filled with many thrills because of the brilliant playing.”
• “A campaign intended to educate the people at large concerning the effects of the use of cigarettes was launched yesterday when delegates from every society in Lawrence met in the High school auditorium and organized into a temporary league having for a purpose the ultimate stamping out of the cigarette evil. The society proposes to accomplish the education of the public through the printing of posters and other literature containing the state and city laws against the sale of tobacco to minors and also the opinions of experts in the matter regarding the mental and physical degeneracy produced through the use of cigarettes by the youth…. Among one of the suggestions offered for minimizing the evil among boys was the encouragement of athletics. ‘Ninety-eight per cent of the college athletes do not smoke or use tobacco in any form,’ says Coach Hamilton. ‘They should be encouraged to participate in athletics even in grade schools.'”
• “The funeral of Professor Lewis Lindsay Dyche, member of the faculty of Kansas University and state fish and game warden, was held this afternoon in the University museum, which stands on the site of Dyche’s first camp when he came to Lawrence to attend the University of Kansas. A delegation of twenty of the state officers, legislators and senators came down from Topeka to attend the funeral. The University officials attended in a body…. All possible space in the museum was filled with the friends of the deceased and University students…. The opened casket was placed at the entrance of the Museum as the friends were gathering so that those who wished could view the remains of a friend who had meant so much to them.”
• “Monday, February 1, the students of the eighth grade who have completed the course of study for the common branches will take up the High School freshman studies. The enrolling has been going on during the past week.”
• “Topeka. – T. A. Moxcey, Representative from Atchison county, would drive all of the itinerant horse traders, the gypsy fortune tellers, the healers and curio venders out of Kansas. He introduced a bill in the house today making all persons without a fixed place of abode who come into Kansas and trade horses, tell fortunes, heal the sick and sell curios in the vagrant class, and fixing a fine of $500.00 and six months in jail for any of these folks who are not able to prove where they live.”
