Curly on the Cover


Today’s posting after a fine victory over the Carolina Panthers (9-1!) features a cover of the “Packer Pictorial Review” from a game played against the Chicago (later St. Louis, much later Arizona) Cardinals. The contest was held at the Milwaukee State Fair Park on October 10, 1948. The person who bought the program that day wrote the final score right on the cover for our benefit (Cardinals 17, Packers 7), and unfortunately Green Bay lost that day. Curly Lambeau would only coach the team one more season before he was forced out.
