PACKERS ARE ALERT
In losing their second game In
as many weeks the Lions were not
even a shadow OF the team that
battled the Chicago Bears so
funouSly and brilliantly before
bowling. 27-2l. They were made TO
look bad because the alert Pack
ers looked so good.
There is an axiom in football
that a team must get possession
of the ball in order 10 score. The
Packers did and the Lions didn't.
and therein was the difference be-
tween the two clubs. The Packers
had the ball practically three
quarters of the game and did a
fine job of playing keep-away.
Just how superior they were to
the Lions is best reflected in the
statistics. The Packers made II
first downs to the Lions eight and
showed a total yardage of 1879 10
Detroits 267. Green Bay piled up
235 yards by rushing and COM
pleted u out of 20 passes for 204
yards.
On the other hand Detroit made
only 81 yards rushing and con-
nected with eight out of "a aerials
for lao yards. The Lions also
made 90 yards on laterals. Green
Bay had one pass intercepted, De-
troit five.
BOTTLE UP HUTSoN
The Lions did a good job OF
bottling up Hutson. The Packers
stellar end caught only two passes
for yardage that wasn't costly.
He also missed two passes But
while the Lions were concentrat-
ing on Hutson his backfield team
mates had held day Doth on the
ground and in the air.
The game was only two minutes
20 seconds old when the Packers
mad their first marker. Canadeo
returned Hops punt 18 yards to
Detroit's AZ. Lou Brock shot a
long pass Harry Jacunski, end,
caught on the 4-yard line and
