First Play-by-Play Radio Broadcast of a College Football Game

<http://www.wtaw.com/history.php#play-by-play>

by Charles R. Schultz

All football games between Texas A&M University and the University of
Texas are special to the students and graduates of both institutions,
but the 1921 contest bears special historical significance in spite of
the fact that it ended in a scoreless tie. The play-by-play live radio
broadcast of this contest planned and carried out by students at the
two institutions was a first for a college football game.
