There now remained only the Thanksgiving Day game to complete the season.
By all traditions each football team in the country strives to have its biggest fight take place on Thanksgiving Day.

By another tradition, every team seeks to have this game take place on the home grounds.
In the latter respect Gridley lost this year.

The game, which was against Fordham High School, was scheduled to take place at Fordham.
Enthusiasm, however, was at top notch.

Citizens hired the Gridley Band to go along with the young men and help out on noise.

A special train in two sections was chartered, for some seven hundred Gridleyites had voted in favor of an evening dinner on Thanksgiving Day; they were going along to see the game.
Fordham had lost two games, against exceptionally strong teams, earlier in the season, but had of late a fine record.
