Football Notes … The Packers play the
New York Giants this weekend in the Bishop’s Charity game. If they play as hard
against the Giants as they did against each other in last Saturday's scrimmage,
they'll do all right. This Bob Long looks like a good ball player. He just
might work his way up into the lineup although I don't know where; Caroll Dale,
Boyd Dowler and Max McGee are still looking just as good as always. Looks like
Uncle Sam wants Joe Namath, the investment of the New York Jets. When told he
could avoid the draft if he got married, Namath quipped, “I'd rather fight
those Reds in Vietnam than get married. There are too many pretty girls in this
world.”
