100 YEARS AGO May 11, 1908 Acting Gov. Allen H. Hamiter was asked again whether he had any intention of calling a special session. He said that there was absolutely nothing new to give out on that subject whatever. He had already stated he had no intention of doing so. Gov. Hamiter expressed both surprise and wonder at the reports circulated that he intended to call a special session. “I cannot understand,” stated the governor, “how on earth such reports were ever started.” 50 YEARS AGO May 11, 1958 A White team that had the stuff to shake off adversity and produce the big plays left it an even-stephen spring last night as the Razorbacks’ intra-camp warfare closed before 9, 000 fans. The Reds, victors last week, went down 21 to 14 in a bristling struggle that had the folks actually standing at the finish.
