The Packers' Title
All season long, the New York Giants had made their own breaks and cashed them into game-winning touchdowns. By finally squeezing past the Washington Redskins (16-to-13), then walloping them in a return game (31-to-0), the New Yorkers became the surprise champions of the National League's eastern division. Last week, worn & weary, they tackled the western champions, the Green Bay Packers.
A notch or two above their best because of three weeks of rest, the Packers pounded through New York's usually reliable line, rushed for one touchdown, passed for another. The best the Giants could do (with injured Bill Paschal, the League's ground-gaining champ, in for only two plays) was one 41-yd. touchdown-producing pass. Green Bay, looking better than the 14-to-7 score, took the U.S. pro championship home to Wisconsin.
