November 1: Green Bay (6-1) 6, Milwaukee (0-3) 0
(MILWAUKEE) - Green Bay's powerful eleven met with a stunning surprise at Athletic Park in their game with the Badgers and were lucky to eke out a victory in the face of the fierce opposition offered by the locals who entered the game as decidedly short enders. The Packers scored a touchdown in the middle of the second
period and there after never had much of an edge. Milwaukee, lacking famous stars, still played good fottball, tackling harder than any team that ever wore thc orange jerseys here, and in the final period, their passing attack seriously threatened a score. Near the end, they blocked a Packer punt and should have had the ball on Green Bay's 8-yard line, but the referee erred and as Green Bay recovered the ball, he permitted them another down and Buck punted out of danger.

1925 IN REVIEW: After the Packers began play at Bellevue Park, the fans began to demand a stadium be built for the team that was already becoming the identity of the small Wisconsin town. So the town put up a new stadium on their old field in back of the high school called City Stadium. The paint was barely dry when the first game was played at the new stadium, which had wooden fences and wooden bleachers. In that first game on September 20, the Packers defeated the Hammond Pros 14-0. A week later the fans of Green Bay witnessed the Packers first-ever victory over the Chicago Bears 14-10. The Bears would get revenge in Chicago later in the season as the Packers finished the season with an 8-5 record.
