The photo for today is from the 1967 Western Conference title game which was held at Milwaukee’s County Stadium on December 23, 1967. A capacity crowd of 49,861 was on hand, sitting in balmy (for that time of year) 20-degree game time temperature.
The original Milwaukee Journal caption that ran with this photo reads: “Wood Return — A key play in Green Bay’s 28-7 victory over Los Angeles in the Western Conference playoff at County Stadium was this return of a short field goal by Willie Wood. The Packer safety man took Bruce Gossett’s short kick on the Green Bay one yard line and returned 44 yards, and the Packers went on from there to break a 7-7 tie just before the half. Lester Josephson (#34) of the Rams gave chase and caught Wood. Herb Adderley (#26) of the Packers trailed the play.”
