Item #24377 West Point Hop card, Thanksgiving Hop U. S. M. A. 1924. West Point, Football, Navy.

West Point Hop card, Thanksgiving Hop U. S. M. A. 1924.

Philadelphia: Elliott, 1924. Hop card for the Thanksgiving Hop with a humorous illustration of a naked child wearing a football helmet and carrying a football riding the back of a turkey wearing a cadet cap. Diecut around the turkey's tail. Under "Dances" it lists 1. Beat Navy; 2. Lick Navy; 3. Babcock; 4. Sink Navy; as well as cadets Conrad, Margson, Cox, Wiley & Grubbs. And further on "Navy"- Pile 'Em on the Rocks; Junk the Navy; Yea Team!!! Scrap Navy, Disarm 'Em. The extreme partisanship perhaps reflects the eminent game, which was usually played around Thanksgiving.

Approx. 2 1/2 x 1 1/2", printed in black, gray, brown, orange and red. Original tricolor string tie, without the pencil which are rarely found with the cards. Slt. residue of glue on verso (album removal). Very good overall. Item #24377
