My grandfather and his brother were graduates of the MU College of Agriculture in the early part of the 20th Century. They were successful Boone County dairy farmers and were business partners with the founder of Central Dairy (which still survives today in Jefferson City, although it's been bought and sold a couple of times since then) They were big MU football fans and my great uncle took these shots of the 1928 Missouri - kansas game in Columbia (won by the Tigers). I digitalized the footage and uploaded it to YouTube. Thought some folks might like a quick look at a simpler time. Memorial Stadium was only 2 years old when this footage was shot.....
