From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 29, 1915:

• “Warnings given by the police that it was their intention to take active steps to reduce the amount of illegal speeding of automobiles in Lawrence were unheeded and so as a result there was a harvest of speeders in police court this morning. Two young men paid $15.50 each to the city treasury today, and three others charged with jay driving will have their trials later…. It is alleged that the situation has grown more serious since the opening of the University year. Many of the students have brought their cars from home with them, and it is said that they are among the most flagrant violators of the city speed ordinances. The officers have dealt leniently with the student drivers thus far, wishing to give them time to acquaint themselves with the traffic laws of the town, but matters have reached a point where prosecutions will be necessary to preserve even a semblance of observance of the city laws regarding speed.”
• “The Lutherans of Lawrence as well as everywhere else will celebrate the 398th anniversary of the nailing of ‘The Ninety-five Theses’ on the door of the church at Wittenberg, Germany, October 31, 1517 – an event of the same relative importance to the Lutherans as the signing of the Declaration of Independence has been to the inhabitants of the United States. The celebration in Lawrence, at Trinity Lutheran church, will consist of a homecoming, and next Sunday will be Homecoming Day at that church…. Everybody ever at any time identified with the church is asked to attend at least one of the services during the day.”
• “For the third consecutive night, students of the University of Kansas turned Lawrence inside out last night with a rally to instill pep into their team before it left for Norman to meet the Oklahoma Sooners on the gridiron tomorrow afternoon. The crowd gathered in South Park at 8:30 o’clock and marched to the business district hauling the members of the team in a tallyho. The University band was out and cheers and rooting could be heard all over the city. At the Santa Fe station the rooters were addressed by Prof. H. A. Lorenz, who disparaged the remarks of one T. Davenport Smith, a former Kansas player, who was quoted in last night’s edition of a Kansas City paper at length. Smith was at the University in 1899, or thereabouts, and he believes that the Jayhawkers haven’t the spirit now that they had in the olden days.”
