The Richard W. Neale Collection contains two souvenir programs from the 1932 Virginia Polytechnic Institute (now Virginia Tech) football season, with opponents University of Georgia and University of Maryland.

The trophy is made up of two parts, the body/base of the trophy, and a small lid that rests on top. On the front of the trophy it reads "THE THANKSGIVING TROPHY FOR V.M.I-V.P.I. GAME TO REMAIN PERMANENTLY WITH THE SCHOOL WINNING THE THIRD TIME." The back of the trophy reads "WON BY V.P.I. - 1931 V.P.I - 1932 TIE- 1933."
