...sermon apparently sank in. The Packers won, but it took a superlative performance by Quarterback Bart Starr, who completed 17 out of 23 passes for 288 yds. and three touchdowns, before Green Bay could retire with a 34-17 victory over the strongest, stubbornest batch of All-Stars in years...
What the rookies lacked in team play they almost made up in individual talent. Wyoming's Jerry DePoyster punted 55 yds., out of bounds on the Green Bay three; later, he split the uprights with a 22-yd. field goal. U.C.L.A.'s Heisman Trophy winner, Gary Beban, was something of a passing disappointment (three for six, two interceptions), but Massachusetts' Greg Landry hit seven out of 14 and scrambled 29 yds. on a bootleg when he found his receivers covered.

Aside from some...
...after all, only seven months old in 1895 when the first pro game was played. But after almost five decades as player, coach and owner, "Papa Bear" of the Chicago Bears does have a couple of impressive credits in the football record book. One is the longest run (98 yds.) with a recovered fumble (the fumbler: Jim Thorpe) in the history of the National Football League. Another is the National Football League...
