Curly Lambeau, Founder Of Packers, Dies At Age 67 Or rorontiv wintpr ranrh at Thousand Oaks. GREEN BAY (AP) Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau, founder of the Green Bay Packers and only coach ever to win three consecutive National Football League titles, died Tuesday of an apparent heart attack. He was 67. Lambeau turned Green Bay, then a town of only 37,000, into the crown capital of the NFL by guiding the Packers to the championship in 1929, 1930, and 1931.

He won three more titles before ending a Packer career with the 1949 season. Lambeau collapsed late Tuesday while mowing a lawn at the home of a friend at Sturgeon Bay, 40 miles northeast of Green Bay. He was dead when a fire rescue squad arrived. A pioneer in the NFL, Lambeau was credited with turning the forward pass into a potent pro weapon while coach and quarterback of the Packers in the 1920s. He was one of 17 charter members of the National Professional Football Hall of Fame.

Lambeau compiled a 236-11123 record at Green Bay with only three losing seasons in more than three decades. But two of them came back to back in 1948 and 1949 and he resigned early the following year in a factional feud with a younger Packer front office. Lambeau moved to the Chicago Cardinals as coach for two years and bowed out of the NFL at the end of 1954 after three seasons as coach of the Washington Redskins. The founder was cutting grass with a power mower when a Sturgeon Bay photographer. Herb Reynolds, approached.

Lambeau told Reynolds he needed the exercise. Suddenly, Reynolds said, Lambeau paled and collapsed. Friends and former players showered the football trailblazer with tributes Tuesday night. doubt if the league would exist today without the likes of said George Halas, owner-coach of the Chicago Bears. vision and foresight made the Packers and the National Football League what they are said Buckets Goldenberg, Green Bay restaurant owner who played guard for Lambeau from 1939 to 1945.

you wanted to do it or not. It was up to you. There was no whip cracking by recalled Arnie Herber, who teamed with end Don Hutson for the standout passing combination in the 1930s. Cecil Isbell, who succeeded Herber as Packer passer, said Lambeau always fair to all the boys. He was a good man to play The Packers were the children of a 1919 street comer conversation between Lambeau and a friend.

They were born as a semi-pro team financed by a packing house. Lambeau recruited high school friends. At the end of the first season, each player received $16.75. Green Bay joined the American Professional Football Association in 1921. The next year, the association became the National Football League with Green Bay as a charter member.

Lambeau was quarterback for the Packers for the first decade and threw 45 passes in one game an era when football was a ground sport. He led giant-killing Green Bay to NFL titles again in 1936, 1939 and 1944. Green Bay, although grown to 62,000, remains by far the smallest entry in the NFL. After five seasons at Chicago and Washington, Lambeau quit with a final victory a 30-27 triumph for his College All-Stars over the Cleveland Browns in 1955. Despite the break with the Green Bay management, Lambeau remained loyal to the Packers from the sidelines.
