We continue as promised today with the second half of our presentation of highlights from the 1947 Green Bay-Detroit game program. Above, here’s the complete roster of your Packers at that time. We can’t think of too many instances where Tony Canadeo is referred to as “Anthony.”
More “action” photos of Packer players from that season.
The Packers Lumberjack Band played at each game and at other gatherings around town.
Wilner Burke, the longtime Packers Lumberjack Band director in his fine uniform.
Above and below are some images of Packers’ game action from 1947 and earlier.
And our last image is the official team photo for 1947, taken at the Rockwood Lodge, home of the Packers’ training camp for a few seasons.In case you’re wondering, Green Bay beat Detroit that day 34-17 in front of 25,179 fans at City Stadium. They would finish 6-5-1 on the season for third place in the Western Division.
