...long way from the football field and his days as star quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants, but there was Y. A. Tittle, 41, agile as ever, weaving through the crush at suburban San Francisco's Palo Alto Hills Country Club. Wearing white tie and tails as proudly as he once wore helmet and shoulder pads, Y.A., now an insurance executive, waltzed his 18-year-old daughter Dianne through the first dance at her debut into Peninsula society...

...sermon apparently sank in. The Packers won, but it took a superlative performance by Quarterback Bart Starr, who completed 17 out of 23 passes for 288 yds. and three touchdowns, before Green Bay could retire with a 34-17 victory over the strongest, stubbornest batch of All-Stars in years...
