50 years of tasty Turkey Day Game memories and my love of prep football

This program is from the 1964 Thanksgiving Day game. An undefeated Roosevelt team, which had never trailed all season and outscored its opponents 250-21, trailed Garfield twice in the game before winning 14-13. Garfield's do-it-all quarterback, John Richardson, passed for one touchdown, caught a pass for the other touchdown and kicked an extra point. But Roosevelt's Bob Bean returned a kickoff 80 yards for what turned out to be the winning score.
