Thanksgiving Day was the primary day for rivalry football games before WWII, and so it was in 1908 in Des Moines. Drake had a good team that year, winning their first five games by shutouts against lesser competition before playing three tough games to end the season. They suffered a close loss to Missouri and won at Iowa, leaving them to host a season-ending Thanksgiving Day game against Iowa State for the state championship.
