Coach Curly Lambeau Anticipates Players Called to Military Duty

Feb. 21, 1942 – In California on vacation, Packers coach Curly Lambeau has a sunny forecast for the upcoming season. “I feel confident that baseball will go through in great style during 1942 and this means that football will, too,” Lambeau says. At least 10 Packers have been called to into the armed forces, and Lambeau concedes his team might not be as strong as it was in 1941 when his club and the Bears tied for the Western Conference title with 10-1 records.
