Cowboys in Green Bay
On the day after your “Packerville” editor attended the Packers’ victory over Dallas, we present two images from the Texas team’s first visit to what later became known as “Titletown.” On Sunday, November 13, 1960, the two teams squared off in Green Bay’s City Stadium under sunny skies and 51-degree temperatures — very similar to yesterday’s conditions at game time. Before 32,294 fans, Vince Lombardi’s third-year team thrashed the Cowboys 41-7. Above, we see fullback Larry Hickman (#37) plunging for a couple of yards after taking the handoff from quarterback Bart Starr (#15). Tight end Ron Kramer (#88) can be seen blocking in front of him, as well as center Jim Ringo (#51), still on his feet and keeping a Cowboy out of the play. Note also the smaller height of the endzone grandstands in the background, which at that time were basically below ground level.
In this second photo, the Packer defense is on the field, and we see defensive tackle Dave “Hawg” Hanner (#79) pursuing the back coming out of the backfield, while what appears to be fellow lineman Henry Jordan (#74) is stopped in his effort at getting the quarterback, Don Meredith.
