One for the Stars
It was August, for goodness' sake, and the temperature in Chicago was still 85DEG at 9 p.m. For the World Champion Green Bay Packers, preseasonitis set in fast. Passes drifted, backs ran into blockers, and 250-lb. defense men hungrily eyed the oxygen tank beside the bench. But the heat wasn't nearly as hot as the youthful College All-Stars. On third down and three, with the ball on the All-Star 27, Wisconsin's Quarterback Ron VanderKelen dropped back and flipped a 20-yd. pass to End Pat Richter, who neatly sidestepped the Green Bay safety and sprinted 53 yds. for the winning touchdown. Final score: All-Stars 20, Packers 17--the first time in five years that the collegians had beaten the pros.
