Wasn't the 1963 game played the weekend after the Kennedy assassination? President Kennedy was shot on Friday, Nov 22, 1963. This was also when LSJUMB began their traditional lone trumpet version of the National Anthem.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
