The Governors' Trophy Game[1] was a college football rivalry game[2] played between the University of Oregon and Saint Mary's College. The Webfoots and Gaels played an annual Thanksgiving Day classic from 1929 to 1935 in San Francisco's Kezar Stadium. Beginning in 1932 the teams played for The Governors' Perpetual Trophy, awarded to the victors jointly by the governors of the states of California and Oregon.
After a 12-year hiatus, and breaking from the Thanksgiving tradition, the teams met three more times from 1948 to 1950. The 1950 game would be the last time the rivalry was contested, as Saint Mary's College discontinued football in 1951 due to restrictions resulting from the Korean War.
