...There is a Mallett's Bay on northern Lake Champlain, only five miles from Winooski, as well as a Mallett's Creek and Mallett's Head, but they all appear to have been named for one Captain Stephen Mallet, a French recluse who died alone and penniless in the area in the 1790s...
...Inch or So Apart. Maybe the Browns weren't eager, after all-not after they woke up to discover that 3½ in. of snow had fallen in Green Bay on the morning of the game. The playing field was chocolate pudding-which was tasty as far as the Packers were concerned. "Packer weather," it is commonly called around the league, since Coach Lombardi's brand of football is so basic that little things like mud and snow don't bother him a bit. Cleveland's attack, as always, was built around the ultrasophisticated running...
...Quarterback Starr to Carroll Dale. The Browns roared right back in three plays. They missed a conversion attempt-Lou Groza's first miss in 46 tries this season-but then Lou kicked a 24-yd. field goal to put Cleveland ahead 9-7.

Throughout the second half, the Packers slogged up and down the muddy field, scoring a touchdown and a field goal, controlling the ball so effectively that the Browns got to run only 16 plays to Green Bay's 35. The stars of that relentless assault were the cripples: Fullback Taylor, Halfback Hornung. In all, Hornung carried 18 times for 105 yds.; Taylor, workhorse of the Green Bay backfield, picked up 96 yds. on 27 carries to earn the game's Most Valuable Player award. When the final gun sounded, it was Hornung and Taylor...
