Drizzle in Green Bay. Stevenson made his first strictly political appearance and speech of the season at the Wisconsin State Democratic Convention in Green Bay. He seemed uncomfortably restrained, perhaps because he wanted to abstain from outright campaigning until his formal announcement next month.

Kelley added that Blackman used the fullback predominantly as the lead blocker or as a ball carrier on counter and reverse plays...
...Crimson will face stiff opposition from both of these teams. Leo McKenna, sidelined by a broken wrist, may be back in action in another two weeks to share the Green quarterbacking duties with Beagle. With a good pair of ends and some hard-charging sophomores, the team is still eagerly looking for its first victory...
