Abstract: Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. It's a holiday, with pay, for most people. Noteworthy, the religious aspect of the day has been growing in recent years. Up until World War II it shared this significance with football games throughout the country--in Vallejo, too, for the Apaches observed a home-and-home schedule with the Eureka High School. A half century ago most of the independent Vallejo teams--the Winged V's, the Pioneers, the All-Vallejo's and the Post 104 team had Thanksgiving Day games.
