Today we have a photo of Packers’ fullback Walt Schlinkman slamming into the Chicago Cardinals defense in game action from November 24, 1946. Green Bay lost that day, 24-6, in front of 16,150 fans at old City Stadium. Schlinkman, who played collegiate ball at Texas Tech, played in 46 games for the Packers from 1946-1949.
