Green Bay

Green Bay had a team in 1895 that played six games against outside competition and went 1-5. Fred Hulbert was the driving force behind it. In 1896, Hulbert was elected captain again after the first game, but was replaced 11 days later before the second game by O.W. Neeves. In the meantime, Joseph Miller, the team’s quarterback, was named coach. Later, George Pratt replaced Neeves as captain. And, by the end of the season, former University of Wisconsin letterman Tom Silverwood had moved to Green Bay, taken over the team and turned what was a rag-tag outfit into a competitive one.
