The Packer Fullbacks
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 6 (1999) THE PACKER FULLBACKS By Stan Grosshandler To the long time NFL fan, the word fullback conjures up the picture of a powerfully built man crashing into the line head down and knees up. On defense he backed up the line like a stone wall. The name Bronko Nagurski immediately comes to mind as the prototype fullback. The term fullback is about to go the way of the terms as end, blocking back, halfback, and wingback. The usual NFL fullback today is the up man in a two man backfield used as a blocker and occasional pass receiver. The Green Bay Packers have had their share of “real fullbacks”. Their first one of note was Bo Molenda, who played a total of 13 years in the NFL. He started with the Packers in 1928, and then was a member of the three straight championship teams of ‘29,'30, and ‘31. In the Lambeau system the FB stood beside and to the right of the LH or tailback in the Notre Dame box. In a position to receive the ball directly from the center he had to be able to run wide, plunge, spin and hand off, plus pass and receive. Ideal for this job was Clarke Hinkle, who joined the team in 1932 out of Bucknell. Clarke did it all, run, pass, receive, kick both extra points and field goals, and backed up the line. He topped the league in scoring in 1938 (58 points) and led twice in field goals. Hinkle is now in both the Professional and College Halls of Fame. -
When Halas Cornered the Draft
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) WHEN HALAS CORNERED THE DRAFT By Bob Carroll When it came time to hold the National Football League's annual draft for the 1941 season, the system was still in flux. Previously, five annual drafts had come and gone, starting with the 1936 season when each NFL club chose nine potential stars from that year's crop of graduating collegians. For 1941, each of the ten teams would choose 20 players. At the time, the draft was not nearly the Must-See-TV National Event it has become in this age, but it was more than an afterthought. An account of the draft usually made the first page of the sports section in those cities with league teams. And, despite all those stories about club owners walking into the meeting armed only with dog-eared copies of Street and Smith magazines, scouting wasn't quite that primitive. At least not for the better teams. Throughout the 1940 season, the names of college stars had been submitted to the league until there was a roster of about 400 young football players to be picked from. Some of those names came from news accounts of college games in the Sunday papers, but teams like the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers very likely had sent someone to actually look at most of the better players in their geographical areas. Moreover, as well-established, longtime winners, they had former players all over the country who tipped them to superior college players in out-of-the-way nooks. -

Still Another Look at Early Interceptions
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 4 (1995) STILL ANOTHER LOOK AT EARLY INTERCEPTIONS by Ed Coen About a year ago, Bob Gill wrote an article in The Coffin Corner ("Another Look at Interception Stats," Vol. XV, No. 5), in which he explored the issue of who was the all-time leader in interceptions before official statistics were kept, i.e., 1941. At the end of the article, he suggested that someone with access to the Green Bay Press-Gazette could answer a lot of questions by checking the play-by-plays from 1935 through 1940. I took him up on that and this article presents the results of that work. First, a word on the play-by-plays. For the most part, the play-by-plays of the home games and the Western Division road games were complete. Some of the accounts of the East Coast games were incomplete, ranging from detailed accounts with a few gaps to a short one or two paragraph summary of each quarter. We were able, however, to construct a complete and fairly accurate record of all Packer interceptions in the period, using a combination of the play-by-plays, The Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel, and the hometown papers of the Packers' opponents. There were some discrepancies between the various sources, so a certain amount of judgment had to be used. According to Bob Gill's article, Johnny Blood retired as the NFL's all-time leading interceptor with 37, Sammy Baugh had 36, and Don Hutson had 34. I found two additional interceptions for Blood and the 1994 edition of The Football Encyclopedia by Neft, Cohen, and Korch, credits him with one more than previous editions. -
When the Packers Went to War
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 2 (1983) Reprinted from The Packer Report, with permission When the Packers Went to War by Bob Barnett On the afternoon of December 7, 1941, the Green Bay Packers were in high spirits. Their 10-1 season record meant that only the Chicago Bears at 9-1 had any chance to tie them for the Western Division championship. On that Sunday afternoon no Packer expected anything worse than a Bear victory over their cross-town rivals the Chicago Cardinals. "We were in Chicago on December 7 to watch the Bears-Cardinals game. Coach Lambeau took the whole team down to scout the Bears," recalled Charles "Buckets" Goldenberg, a veteran Packer guard. "They announced the bombing of Pearl Harbor during the game. We just didn't know how it would affect anything. We were stunned like everyone else." There was little immediate change as far as pro football was concerned. The game continued and the Bears did indeed beat the Cardinals, 34-24. The following week the Bears easily beat the Packers, 34- 14, in a playoff game and the next week defeated the New York Giants, 37-9, for the NFL championship before a disappointingly small crowd of 13, 341. Tony Canadeo, a rookie tailback on the 1941 Packer team, said, "The playoff game drew a lot more fans than the championship because everyone knew either the Packers of the Bears would crush the Giants." Perhaps attendance would have been higher if fans had known the championship game would be their last opportunity for many years to watch teams of prewar caliber play. -

THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 4 (1982) the ERA of HUTSON
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 4 (1982) THE ERA OF HUTSON The following article (submitted by P.F.R.A. member Jim Stewart) appeared in the Sept. 29, 1957, program for the Packers-Bears game. The Green Bay Packers' championship clubs during the Era of Don Hutson may have lacked some of the flamboyant color of the Triple Champions of 1929-31 but they had one thing the earlier kings didn't enjoy. They had Hutson. Not that the titlists of 1936, 1939 and 1944 were one-man teams. If anything, both the '36 and '39 clubs were probably better balanced and more powerful than their championship predecessors. Even without Hutson, they would have been powerhouses. With him they were great. When the Pack hit the glory road again in 1936 it was an almost entirely new cast of characters. Only holdovers from the previous era were Johnny Blood, Arnie Herber, Hank Bruder and Milt Gantenbein. It was, however, an experienced club, solidly blended of veterans and promising rookies, of which Hutson represented the key to greatness. Blood hadn't changed much and was still up to his old tricks, but he almost sat this one out, being a holdout until the season was well under way. Herber had blossomed into the finest forward passer in the game, and Gantenbein had more than fulfilled his earlier promise. Hard Luck Hank Bruder, free of his college jinx, had become one of the most durable and reliable backs in the business. The big forward wall had changed too. Bud Svendsen anchored the center of a rugged front line, backed by Frank Butler and Tony Paulekas, while a trio of burly veterans -- Ernie Smith, Champ Seibold and Ade Schwammel -- held down the tackle slots.
