THE 41st PACKER

year. He said grants are made
on the basis of need to legal
residents of Laurens County,

THE 41st PACKER: A ROOKIE’S DIARY
By Dan Eckstein. 141 pages. Clinton, S. 0., Ja
cobs Press. 1970.
Those who followed Dan Eckstein’s career
at PC and who read with pleasure his column in
the Greenville News, will be interested to see in
print the diary he kept as a pro football rookie
with the Green Bay Packers in 1969. Those who
also know him personally will recognize at once
the same bounce and infectious enthusiasm for
football that he brought to Johnson Field when
he worked for Cally Gault as a Blue Hose half
back.
In his Foreword, Eckstein says that three
things prompted him to publish his diary First,
he wanted to share his impressions of some of
the people and events behind pro football. In
this he has succeeded, giving some inside pictures
of life among the Packers, including, of course,
the rookies. The gruelling demands made on a
player’s discipline and dedication are evident in
entry after entry describing the physical and
mental exhaustion involved in drills and scrim
mages. Few TV viewers realize what goes into
the Sunday afternoon Pro Game of the Week.
For the rookies, the suspense as to who will be
next to be cut from the squad is sheer torment.
Yet, despite the rivalry for the coveted few places
on the team, there is a remarkable cameraderie
among the hopefuls that in some cases even rip
ens into friendship.
Secondly, the author wants “to stress that
desire and hustle can compensate for physical
shortcomings.” True—up to a point. (Eckstein
weighed in at 176 pounds when he reported to
Green Bay. Even the lightest of the trainers
was twenty pounds heavier!) Bart Starr, in an
introduction to The 41st Packer, says that “the
only thing that kept Dan from making our club
was his size. I assure you that when he walked
away from the camp for the last time, everyone
who had known him said that if a team could be
composed of forty men who possessed the heart,
guts, and attitude of Dan Eckstein, it would wait/,
through its schedule.”
Thirdly, Eckstein wants to affirm “that
there is Something and Someone far more in life
than mere athletics”. The author likes young
people, and he is eager to share with them his
Christian convictions as well as his football
know-how. In fact, the P. C. chapter of the Fel
lowship of Christian Athletes was started in 1965
by Eckstein, along with teammates Bill Kirtland
and Shell Dula.
There are some flaws in the writing, and oc
casionally the author’s philosophizing about the
future seems a bit shallow; nevertheless, The
41st Packer hasi about it the immediacy of an in
teresting diary written by a highly likable per
son.
