In another installment from our collection of old newspaper files and photos, we have this image from Green Bay Training Camp in 1964. The previous season, the club posted a 11-2-1 record under coach Vince Lombardi, earning them a second-place finish in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, both losses were inflicted by the eventual 1963 NFL Champions, the Chicago Bears.
The original caption (seen faded at the bottom) reads: “Lombardi Lectures -- Vince Lombardi, coach of the National Football League Green Bay Packers, gets facial expression and body action into play as he lectures in the training camp on the duties of offensive end Marv Fleming (#81). Paying attention are Gary Kroner (behind Lombardi), Boyd Dowler (#86) and Ron Kramer (#88).”
