Almore Charles "Buff" Wagner (May 31, 1897 – February 12, 1962) was a professional football player for the Green Bay Packers in 1920 and 1921.
[1] Wagner played for the Packers in 1920 before they entered a professional league.
The Packers were down 6–0 late in the game to the Minneapolis Mariners before Curly Lambeau completed a pass to Wagner for 37 yards to put the Packers close to the end zone.
[3] A few plays later, Art Schmaehl scored a touchdown and Lambeau kicked the extra point to secure the Packers first league victory.
[4] A rumor persisted that the Packers needed to win this game, or at the very least be competitive, in order to remain in the league.
