It was Oct. 5, third game of the season then. "The Pack Will Be Back" Green Bay came in 2-0. The Vikes were 1-1, but just the week before Joe Kapp had thrown 7 td passes against the Colts at the Met. Minnesota's defense sacked Bart Starr 8 times and defense smothered the Packers until the final seconds of a 19-7 win.        I remember that game for another reason, too. The next week our family took my first trip to Green Bay. On Saturday we caught the team as they were wrapping up prep and getting ready to fly to Detroit. For some reason there was hardly any one around the players' entrance at Lambeau that morning so we had a field day meeting players and getting autographs.       I've still got them: LeRoy Caffey, Marv Fleming, Chuck Mercein, Bob Jeter, Elijah Pitts, Wilie Wood, Ray Nitschke, Bart Starr and several more I'll have to look to remember.       Next day the Pack handled the Lions 28-17 to move to 3-1 and for the first half of the season looked like they might be making a comeback at 5-2. Offense went into hibernation in November, though, and they ended up 8-6.</blockquote>
