November 5: Green Bay (1-3-2) 3, Columbus (0-5) 0
(GREEN BAY) - Wallowing around on a gridiron ankle deep in mud end playing in a driving rain, the Packers defeated the Panhandles here Sunday afternoon. A place kick from a difficult angle on the 25-yard line by Cub Buck, Green Bay's peerless right tackle, paved the way for the Panhandle's downfall. Despite the climatic
conditions, some 2,000 spectators witnessed the pigskin fracas. Considering the condition of the playing field, it was a good exhibition of football. Both teams were forced to resort to line bucking, due to the slippery condition of the ball. Columbus never got within Green Bay's 35-yard line. Green Bay was close to the visitor's goal several times, but blew a couple of good chances to score.

After receiving the next kickoff, the Packers continued their spirited attack which swept the Marines of their feet. On their 5-yard line, the visitors held for three downs.

(RACINE) - History repeats itself at Horlick Athletic Field here Sunday afternoon when with five seconds to play Captain Hank Grillo place kicked from the 35-yard line, enabling the Racine Legion eleven to tie the Packers, 3 to 3.

(MILWAUKEE) - In a game marked by bitter rivalry and some roughness on the part of the players, the Packers wrenched a victory from the Milwaukee pros Sunday afternoon. The first period was scoreless with both sides resorting to straight football. A long pass from Lambeau, playing right half, to Lauer in the second period, advanced the ball near enough to the Milwaukee goal so that Lambeau had little trouble in going over for the first marker. Forward passes again carried the rival to the Milwaukee goal line and Lambeau went over for the second touchdown. Cub Buck tried a placekick but the boot was blocked.

(MILWAUKEE) - A surging tide of blue jerseys, irresistible throughout four quarters, Sunday afternoon swept Green Bay's professional football eleven into a state championship. A forward pass combination flashed in the northerners' attack with Curly Lambeau and Charley Mathys, perpetrating three brilliant coups that paved the way to the Packers' pair of touchdowns. Green Bay scored in the second quarter, and again in the final chapter, but the margin of 14 points does not adequately recount the superiority of the victors. They pressed the Horlickmen hard throughout the contest.

1922 IN REVIEW: In a year to forget, the Packers were disciplined for using college players under assumed names, resulting in the franchise being turned back to league on January 28. Curly Lambeau promised to obey the rules, used $50 of own money to buy back franchise for $250. As the season progressed, bad weather and low attendance plagued the Packers, resulting in local merchants raising $2,500 and a public non-profit corporation being set up under direction of A.B. Turnbull. Lambeau would remain as general manager and head coach.
