The game is played for the Frisco Bell that was donated by the Frisco Railroad Company in the 50’s.

The biggest question is how many these two teams have gone together all-time and on Thanksgiving. The game hasn’t always been played on Turkey Day.

According to the Webster-Kirkwood Times, Kirkwood now leads the Thanksgiving series 43-37-5, while Webster Groves leads the all-time series 54-50-7.
