| We're
pleased to present this special rebroadcast of the 1963 Southern
Conference Championship game played at Richmond City Arena March 2,
1963. This original broadcast was
recorded on a series of LPs at radio station WRVA in Richmond, Va., and
come from the personal collection of Dr. Larry Schwab. It is through his
generosity that we're able to reproduce this broadcast in its entirety.
Including a brief introduction, there are
six different files streamed in windows media format. If you don't have
windows media player 7.1 or higher you can download it by
clicking this link.
The recordings were comprised of five LPs and were in surprisingly good condition. There is
virtually no editing in order to give the listener the exact experience one
would have in 1963 -- commercials and all.
While listening, be sure to click on the
links to the right for player features, a game story, box score, photos and other interesting
information about the game and the 1963 season.
We hope you enjoy this journey 40 years
back in time. |
