Kirkwood–Webster Groves Turkey Day Game : ウィキペディア英語版
Kirkwood–Webster Groves Turkey Day Game

In Missouri, the Turkey Day Game is an annual American high school football contest between Kirkwood High School's Pioneers and Webster Groves High School's Statesmen, two teams based in St. Louis County, Missouri. The contest has traditionally been played on Thanksgiving.
==History==
The "Turkey Day Game" celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2007. Newly found evidence shows that 2007 also celebrated the 100th known football game since 1898 between the two schools (whether or not there were games played during the 1899, 1900, and 1905 seasons still remains unknown) and the 77th game played on Thanksgiving Day between the varsity teams of the two schools. In addition to the unknown seasons of 1899, 1900, and 1905, there was no game in 1904 because Kirkwood did not have a team; there were four cancellations of the game in 1911, 1914, 1918, 1988; two games held in 1906; three games held in 1907; two games held in 1908; two games held in 1983; seven years in which only the junior varsity squads played on Thanksgiving Day due to a playoff schedule conflict (see below) in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012; fourteen games postponed or not scheduled on Thanksgiving Day since 1907–1909, 1910, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1975, 1980, and 1985. The game was suspended for four years – 1924, 1925, 1926, and 1927 – after a melee occurred on the field in 1923 that involved spectators from the stands. A referee called back all three of Kirkwood's touchdowns due to penalties, allowing Webster Groves to win the game 7–0. The win gave Webster Groves its eighth consecutive win and a 14–7–2 lead in the varsity series since 1898. The game resumed in 1928 and was played continuously on Thanksgiving Day until 1975. The game site alternates between Moss Field (Webster Groves) on even years and Lyons Field (Kirkwood) on odd years.
In 1975, when the then-St. Louis Cardinals hosted NFL games on Thanksgiving, the city resisted the move, in part because the Kirkwood-Webster Groves rivalry had already established itself (the Cardinals were never particularly popular in St. Louis, and the Dallas Cowboys, whose place the Cardinals had taken, were already a major national draw). The Cardinals gave up on playing Thanksgiving games in 1977 after three games, and the hosting reverted to the Cowboys. For similar reasons, the St. Louis Rams, since relocating from Los Angeles to Missouri in 1995, have never played on Thanksgiving.
As of 2015, Webster Groves leads the all-time series 53–45–5.
