    29 1947 packerscentury.com packerscentury.com 1947 _______________________ Record: 6-5-1 3rd Place - Western Division Coach: Curly Lambeau • Lee Joannes, Packer President since 1930, stepped down and he was replaced by Emil R. Fischer. • Lambeau fired George W. Calhoun the co-founder of the franchise. Calhoun had served as the team’s public relations director, record keeper, and all-around Packer-backer since 1919. He was replaced by George Strickler, formerly of the Chicago Tribune. • Disappointment was building after third-place finishes in 1945 and 1946. Though 1947 was slightly better, it was the last season above .500 until 1959. • Lambeau changed his offense from the single-wing to the “T” formation. The Packers scored 126 more points than in 1946, but they still struggled to replace Cecil Isbell and Don Hutson. The defense gave up the fewest points in the league and intercepted 30 passes. • Three straight losses in November left them 4-4-1 and out of contention. A third-place finish again. Rumors swirled about Curly Lambeau leaving Green Bay for the West Coast. • Vivian Scherf-Laabs, Member, Packer FAN Hall of Fame * One of this Hall of Fame Member’s first memories about becoming a Packers fan was in 1947. Vivian remembers being huddled around the radio listening intently to a game with her twin brother, Stewart. After one game, Vivian knew she was hooked.

  • Charlie Trippi: a Success Story
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 11, No. 1 (1989) CHARLIE TRIPPI: A SUCCESS STORY By Bob Barnett & Bob Carroll "I don't want people to accept me as a famous individual," Charlie Trippi says today. "I want them to accept me for what I do day to day. I never felt I was a celebrity. I don't want people to accept me as a good football player, but as a human being." Still trim and handsome in his 65th year, he confines his athletics to "playing in a lot of golf tournaments" now, but there was a time -- a decade, in fact -- when he was arguably the best football player in the country and certainly the most famous in the South. When Herschel Walker won his Heisman Trophy a few years ago, legions of older Georgia fans insisted the youngster still had a way to go to match Trippi. They have long memories in Georgia. They called him "Georgia's Golden Boy," despite the fact that he had curly, black hair and the darkly handsome features of an Italian movie star. Nor was he a native Georgian. "The Scintillating Sicilian" was more descriptively accurate. Charlie grew up the son of an Italian immigrant grocer in the little mining town of Pittston, PA, just south of Scranton. Joseph Trippi, his father, frowned on football; "That's not for my Charlie!" he insisted. "I used to have to sneak out for football practice," Charlie says. Eventually, as his son's reputation grew, Joseph became less opposed, but he only attended two games during Charlie's long career.

  • Elmer Angsman
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 23, No. 4 (2001) Elmer Angsman: A Hero of the Last Chicago Cardinal Football Champions By: Jim Sargent Elmer Angsman, who played his final season of professional almost fifty years ago, remains a hero of the last Chicago Cardinal championship football team. The former Notre Dame star halfback helped lead the Cardinals to the franchise’s last National Football League championship two years after World War II ended. On Sunday, December 28, 1947, when the cold afternoon ended at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, the Cardinals had used four big plays to defeat the NFL’s Eastern Division champion Philadelphia Eagles, 28- 21. On a day when the Cards opened the game wearing basketball shoes, Angsman scored two of Chicago’s four touchdowns on 70-yard bursts through the line of scrimmage. Rushing for 159 yards on a subfreezing day, Angsman broke the previous NFL playoff record of 109 yards in one game set by Bill Osmanski of the Chicago Bears against the Washington Redskins in 1940. Philadelphia’s Tommy Thompson, a NFL veteran since 1940, set playoff records for the most passes attempted and completed. The Eagle quarterback, who threw for 16 touchdowns in 1947, passed for 297 yards and one touchdown, going 27-for-44. But in the end, Angsman’s two touchdowns and two long scoring runs by Cardinal rookie Charley Trippi gave the NFL title to the Cardinals. While the club produced an even better regular season in 1948, going 11-1, Chicago lost the ‘48 league championship to Philadelphia, 7-0, under almost unbelievable snowy conditions.
