Jimmy Powers steps up to the mic again this week to narrate "The Grantland Rice Story", a syndicated mid-1950s effort from RCA's Thesaurus division, based on the autobiography of the famous sportswriter.
Program GRS-15 is titled "Football's Beloved Knute Rockne", where Rice recalls the famous Notre Dame coach and the details behind "Win One for the Gipper". The guest in this week's show is Jack Lavelle, scout for the New York Giants and a former Notre Dame player who remembers what it was like being a freshman at the school in the Rockne days.
Transferred from original RCA Thesaurus 12" transcription, matrix number F7-MR-5077-1.
My apologies for the wow and flutter in the show opening - this particular disc in my set is warped unfortunately.
