Actual footage of Aberdeen v Hoquiam Turkey Day game in the 20s. Pretty cool. Aberdeen had 20,000 tuff loggers in the 20s which is twice as big as Olympia was when I grew up

    Did any of them sit out the game to protect their chances of getting a UW scholarship? Did they allow swarthy guys like @creepycoug to play?

    All the swarthy @creepycoug types were still in Havana rolling stogies. Great weather, hot latinas of low moral repute and no communism to run from.

    The Thanksgiving game was done by the 60's as I recall. Olympia used to invite a Tacoma school to a match since Aberdeen was busy

    I've said it before but I'm old so I can repeat myself. As a kid growing up in the 60's the Southwest Conference was the best. Friday night road trips to Vancouver or Longview and Grays Harbor

    It was the best of the best big schools with lots of D 1 guys not that we gave a shit back then. Rich Rucker got a full ride to Kansas when they were good and had Riggens. Dean Halvorsen wore the purple helmet at UW. The two Oly stars I recall.

    Steve Dills went to Stanford from Ft Vancouver.
