(MILWAUKEE) - Paced by a brilliant exhibition of placekicking by Ade Schwammel, the Green Bay Packers pounded out a 13 to 9 victory over the Detroit Lions. Schwammel booted one placekick for 39 yards to give the Packers three points, and then added another from the 40-yard line as the Bays rallied in the last half to edge out Detroit after trailing at the intermission, 3 to 0. The Packers faltered twice on scoring opportunities in the 'first half, when attempts to kick placements from the field failed. The Lions connected for an early lead on a great dropkick by Earl (Dutch) Clark from the 43-yard marker. Detroit clung to its skimpy lead until midway in the third quarter when Don Hutson blocked a Detroit punt on the Lions' 41, recovered and scampered for a touchdown. Later in the same period, Schwammel arched his first placekick through the uprights to give the Packers a 10 to 3 edge. With Clark leading the way, however, the Lions fought back and marched from deep in their own territory toward the Packer goal on passes and runs by Clark and Ernie Caddel. Caddel capped the march with a 12-yard romp around left end on a reverse to score. The Packers retained a slim margin when Clark's attempt to add the extra point with a dropkick failed.

(CHICAGO) - With the New York Giants practically assured of their third straight Eastern title, the main interest in the NFL race shifted to a 3-way battle between the Chicago Cardinals, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions for the Western Division championship. The Cardinals and Lions rose from a tie for last place in the West to a deadlock for first place by winning their Thanksgiving day games. The Cardinals upset Green Bay for the third time this season, 9-7. Bill Smith kicked a field goal and Al Nichelini raced around end for 10 yards and the winning touchdown in the second period. Bob Monnett's 60-yard run gave Green Bay its lone touchdown in the first period.

(GREEN BAY) - The Green Bay Packers, who yesterday passed and plunged their way to a 49-0 victory over the La Crosse Lagers, prepared today to open their 1935 football campaign. Led by Bob Monnett, backfield star, the Packers easily smothered the LaCrosse outfit, scoring in every period except the third. It was the last pre-season warm-up game for the Green Bay team. Monnett easily was the outstanding star of the game, making three touchdowns and converting five extra points. The Packers scored one touchdown in the opening period and shoved across three more in the second quarter to pile up a 28-0 0 lead at half time.

1935 IN REVIEW
The Packers signed Don Hutson out of Alabama, giving the Packers one of the most feared receivers in NFL history. In a highly competitive Western Division the Packers post an 8-4 record, finishing
2nd among 4 teams with winning records. The Packers also held another stock sale, which raised $15,000 after the corporation had gone into receivership. At that point, the nonprofit Green Bay Football
Corporation was reorganized as the Green Bay Packers, Inc., the present company, with 300 shares of stock outstanding.
DON HUSTON: A BROOKLYN DODGER?
After Don Hutson caught six passes for 164 yards to help Alabama upset Stanford in the Rose Bowl 29-13, Don Hutson was a hot commodity. At the time, there was no NFL Draft which meant Hutson
was free to negotiate with whatever team he wanted. “The Bears offered me $75 a game. I remember that George Halas wrote me a two-page letter about what a privilege it was to play for the Bears.”
Eventually, the bidding narrowed down to the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Packers. Hutson signed contracts with both but the Green Bay contract arrived in league headquarters first. “They gave me $300 a
game,” says Hutson, “so for 11 games that means I got $3,300. Nobody in Green Bay had ever been paid that much. Finally, at the end, when I had been all-pro for nine years in a row, I was up to $15,000
a year.” Had it not been for a unique decision by NFL President Joe Carr, Hutson might have become a Dodger. Carr ruled the contract with the earliest postmark would be honored. The Packers' contract
was postmarked 8:30 a.m., 17 minutes earlier than the Dodgers' pact. Thus Hutson became a Packer. His first touchdown came on an 83-yard pass from Arnie Herber in just his second game as a Packer.
He wound up with 99 career touchdown receptions, a record that stood for more than four decades. When Hutson retired in 1945 after 11 superb seasons, he held 18 NFL records, including 488 career
receptions. That was 200 more than his closest competitor. Hutson invented modern pass receiving. He created Z-outs, buttonhooks, hook-and-gos, and a whole catalog of moves and fakes. Hutson was a
60-minute player who spent most of his career as a very fine safety on defense. In his final six seasons, he swiped 30 opposing quarterbacks’ passes. SOURCE: NFL Hall of Fame Website

The game, played before 8,000, said to be the largest crowd ever to see a game here, was the second exhibition contest for the Green Bay club. The first training game was played at Merrill Saturday night, the Packers winning 34-0. A third game in the barnstorming tour will be played at Stevens Point tomorrow night.

Packers versus Cardinals in Milwaukee
(GREEN BAY) - The Chicago Cardinals, a heavy favorite to finish within striking distance of the championship, struggled to a 7 to 6 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The slim margin of victory was a point after touchdown which was accounted for in the opening stanza by Paul Pardonner. Bobby Monnett failed to score the extra point after the Packer touchdown in the second period. The Packers, however, were far from being in topnotch form. They were weakened by the loss of Clark Hinkle, George Sauer, Roger Grove and Arniee Herber from the backfield and George Maddox at tackle through injuries.

(GREEN BAY) - A touchdown on the second play of the game and stubborn defensive play for the remainder gave the Green Bay Packers their first victory in two starts. They turned back the Chicago Bears, 7 to 0. Hank Bruder returned the opening kickoff to his own 17 yard line from where Arnie Herber flung a 40-yard pass to Don Hutson, who nabbed the ball over his shoulder and outran the Bear secondary to the goal line The Packers worked the ball into Bear territory at the start of the second half, but attempts by Ade Schwammel at field goals from the 40 and 50-yard lines failed. The same period saw the Bears threaten, but a couple of passes were grounded in the end zone. Green Bay was in a position to score as the game ended. On the last play, George Sauer passed directly over center to Johnny Blood, who made a brilliant catch on the 5 yard line. The Packers had reached the Bears 12-yard line in the third period, but the Bears stubborn defense held up.

(GREEN BAY) - The select group of undefeated teams in the NFL dwindled to three and the list did not include the 1934 champion New York Giants. The revived Green Bay Packers who dealt the Chicago Bears a surprise defeat a week ago, arose to the occasion again tipping over the Giants, 16 to 7, at Green Bay. A one-point margin kept the Giants out front until the Bays turned to their passing and ground attack in the last period. Bob Monnett kicked a field goal from the 17 yard line, putting his team ahead, 9 to 7, and a few minutes later, Cal Hubbard intercepted a pass on the New York 8 yard line and scored. After a scoreless opening period, New York used a passing game to score from the 45-yard line in the second. Ed Dankowski passed to Ike Franklin over the center of the line, and as he was tackled, Franklin tossed a lateral pass to Dale Burnett, who shook off a tackler and ran 40 yards for the touchdown. Hank Bruder scored the Packers' first score after intercepting a Ken Strong pass.

(GREEN BAY) - The Packers today were another step nearer to the Western Division title. The Bays conquered the Pirates, 27-0. It was high school day and hundreds of students from Wisconsin and upper Michigan schools were Packer guests. It was the Packer's third consecutive victory. Offensive stars of the game were Don Hutson, George Sauer and Joe Laws. Scores came In the second and and fourth periods. Superior in all departments, the Bays reeled off 17 first downs to Pittsburgh's seven. The contest set a season's local record for the number of intercepted passes. There were nine. Only on one occasion did the visitors threaten to score. That was during the closing minutes of play when they pushed the Bays back to their 15- yard line after a 60-yard punt return. Johnny Blood prevented a score when he hauled down a Pirate runner in his race for goal.

These days, the average NFL player receives about $1.2 million a year, not a bad paycheck for throwing around the old pigskin. After all, that’s three times what the President makes (though he does get free limo rides), and plenty more than your average blogger does (sigh). But in 1935, playing football wasn’t the glitzy well-funded enterprise it is today. That’s the year the Green Bay Packers went looking for a center, and found future President Gerald Ford. They offered President Ford $110 bucks a game. Over the course of a season—14 games—that means Ford would’ve squirreled away $1,540, about $24,000 bucks in 2011 dollars, if he had accepted the draft deal. Ford declined this offer, and another offer from the Detroit Lions to play professional football, and instead made his way over into Yale to study law, then to the Navy to serve his country, then to the House of Representatives, and finally to the White House where, thankfully, the salary was a bit better.Packers versus Cardinals in Milwaukee (SOURCE: The National Archives Blog)
(MILWAUKEE) - The Chicago Cardinals remained the only undefeated football team in the NFL. It wasn't their fault they didn't lose to the Green Bay Packers, however. A dropkick in the second quarter proved the margin of victory for the Chicagoans and the final score was Cardinals 3, Packers 0. It was one of those games that was chuck full of thrills and spills from whistle to gun. The Packers deserved a scolding (and got one from Coach Curly Lambeau and plenty of cross words from 18,000 fans) for not scoring at least twice in the first half. On two occasions the ball was half a step from the Cardinal goal but each time the Bays couldn't muster the punch it takes to put the hall over. Twice more they were in what is known as the scoring zone. The Chicago score came after Dave Cook side-stepped and danced his way through a broken field 44 yards. He was brought down from behind by Milt Gantenbein 10 yards short of the last marker. Pangle, Cook and Peterson gained only six yards in three thrusts at the Packer line and then Paul Pardonner dropped back to the 10-yard line, took off his head harness and booted the ball hard between the goal posts.

(CHICAGO) - In a storybook finish, the Packers came from behind and scored two touchdowns in the last three and one half minutes to defeat the Bears, 17 to 14. Believing the Bears were assured of victory, many of the 30,000 spectators left after Johnny Sisk raced 55 yards for the second Bear touchdown near the end of the game. Then the fireworks began. Arnie Herber tossed a long pass to Don Hutson, who dashed 69 yards down the field and crossed the goal after side-stepping four tacklers. Bernie Masterson fumbled fumbled the ball on the first play after the kickoff and Ernie Smith recovered for Green Bay on the Bear's 13 yard line. After four plays and a first down, Herber shot a short pass to Hutson who caught the ball on the three yard line and slid across for a touchdown. The Bear's made a desperate attempt to score by the aerial route in the last half minute. Just as the gun sounded, George Sauer intercepted a long pass from Beattie Feathers to Bill Karr.

(GREEN BAY) - The Green Bay Packers crushed the Detroit Lions today, 31 to 7, scoring 21 points with a sensational second half forward passing attack. The Packers opened the second half with a three point lead 10 to 7, on the strength of Clarke Hinkle's first period field goal from the 30 yard line. They swung into their heavy lead when Arnie Herber dropped back to his own 10 to pass to Johnny Blood on the Detroit 33. Blood ran for the touchdown and Herber dropkicked the extra point. Two more touchdowns were chalked up in the final period. Herber passed 26 yards to Blood behind the goal line for the first. The second came when Don Hutson snared Herber's pass on the 10 yard line and crossed the goal, to complete a gain of 44 yards. After being outplayed in the opening period, Detroit came back in the second and took advantage of a short punt by Hinkle which went only to the Bays' 28- yard line. Pug Vaughan passed far over the left side of his line to Ed Klewicki for the touchdown. Green Bay's first touchdown, in the second period, resulted from a crushing line attack. George Sauer ran the ball three times before steaming around end for the touchdown.

(DETROIT) - Earl (Dutch) Clark was the hero of Detroit's triumph over the Packers. After Ernie Smith's 16-yard field goal in the opening period had put Green Bay ahead, Clark passed to Harry Ebding in the second for a touchdown. George Sauer tossed to Milt Gantenbein to give the Packers the lead again in the third, but the Lions were not to be stopped, pushing over two more touchdowns in the final period. Bill Shepherd scored both times, bucking over after taking a pass from Frank Christensen, and smashing thru for the last score after Clark had returned a punt 63 yards. The defeat dropped the Packers into a tie with the Chicago Cardinals for the Western Division lead.

(PITTSBURGH) - Pittsburgh's Pirates were eliminated from the championship race as they bowed to the wonderous Green Bay Packers 34 to 14. The victory, punctuated by numerous spectacular plays and the hurling of a pop bottle at Umpire Robb, gave Green Bay seven triumphs in ten games and practically assured them of the Western Divisional honors. Umpire Robb called two Packer passes complete a few minutes later because of interference, drawing a chorus of boos and the pop bottle, which fell far short of its mark.

January 12: Green Bay 61, Victor McLaglen's Lighthorses 7
(SAN DIEGO) - The Green Bay Packers professional football team swamped Victor McLaglen's Lighthorse outfit of Los Angeles here yesterday, 61 to 7, before a crowd of 5,000 spectators. Four minutes after the start of the game, Irvine "Cotton" Warburton, former University of Southern California All-American, scored a touchdown for the Lighthorse team after picking up a Packer fumble on his own 7-yard line and running 93 yards. After that Green Bay put on the pressure and gave one of the most brilliant exhibitions of offensive grid tactics ever seen here to rout the California team with a steady succession of touchdowns. Joe Laws culminated a 75-yard march with a 5-yard smash off tackle to tie the score in the first period. The Packers completed 12 of 15 passes for 453 yards. Running plays were good for 206 more yards. Green Bay piled up 15 first downs to four for the Lighthorse team.

The coast players reeled oft two touchdowns in the second period on passes from Frank Sobrero, left half, to Hal Pangle and to Bob Rowe, to threaten the Packers lead. Clark Hinkle, Packer fullback, ended the day's scoring with a goal from the 30 yard line in the third quarter. Each team chalked up 10 first downs. The game was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

January 26: Detroit 10, Green Bay 3
(LOS ANGELES) - A brilliant 84-yard touchdown run by Ace Gutowsky, plunging 195-pound fullback, gave the Detroit Lions a 10 to 3 victory yesterday over the Green Bay Packers, the team that defeated them twice during the past season. The former Oklahoma City university player, slanting off-tackle, dashed through the Packers' secondary and crossed the goal line standing up. Twenty-two thousand persons witnessed the game, and hundreds were turned away. The Packers held a 3-0 lead at the end of the first half due to a place kick by Ad Schwammel, former Oregon State player, 230-pound tackle, who sent the ball between the uprights from the 30 yard fine. Shortly after the third period started, Gutowsky placed the Lions in the lead, and to make their lead safe, Dutch Clark, former Colorado college star, drop kicked a field goal from the 20-yard line in the fourth quarter. Clark was bottled up most of the afternoon, although he figured in the sustained drive from the 35-yard line that placed him in a position to make the field goal. Likewise, the famous Herber to Hutson passing combination failed to work. The Lions threw 12 and completed only one, that from Clark to Caddell for 16 yards. The Packers threw 11, completing one, and that on interference. The Packers made 10 first downs to the Lions' 8, although the latter outcharged the Green Bay team, 184 yards to 102. The Lions' end play was marvelous to behold, and it nullified the superior power of the Packers' line. Butch Morse, Harry Ebding, Klewicki and Schneller played spectacuilar defensive ball at the wings all afternoon, rushing Herber so hard he could not get his passes away accurately, and tackling sharply on the Packers' thrusts at the tackles. Joe Laws, former Iowa back, and Bob Monnett, ex-Michigan State star, were the chief ground gainers for Green Bay. Sauer, formerly of Nebraska, and one of the Packers chief ground threats, was injured on the first play when tackled by Caddel, and had to leave the game.
