Packers Edge 49ers In Hair-Raiser 21-20

Green Bay beat San Francisco 21 to 20 in a tense NFL Western Division match. Quarterback Lamar McHan led a late rally with a 14 yard scoring pass to Max McGee, while fullback Paul Hornung rushed for 138 yards and scored a second quarter touchdown. Lew Carpenter filled in for injured Jim Taylor as Ron Melleny added 101 rushing yards helping the Packers overpower the 49ers despite two costly fumbles by Carpenter and a rough start that had Green Bay trailing 20-4 early in the final period. The victory gives Green Bay its third straight win as they tighten the pack in the league standings.
