HOW WILL the loss of Paul Hornung affect the Packers? Can the Giants maintain the momentum that stung the Washington Redskina 53-0 and the Eagles 38-21 on successive Sundays? Will the Pittsburgh Steelers, with Bobby Layno probably back at the throttle, continue their hot pace and thus throw a wrench into the Giants' Eastern Conference title The Packers, topped the West em Conference with a 7-2 record, are hosts in Groan Bay to Los Angeles and should not have too difficult time with the Rams (3-6). The Giants, tied with Philadelphia for the Eastern lead with a 7-2 mark, play the Steel ers (4-5) In New York.

The Eagles visit Cleveland to clash with the win-or-elee Browns (6-3). The Detroit Lions (5-3-1), trailing Die Packers by l'a games, find themselves in a "must" situation at Minnesota (2-7). The Chicago Bears (5-4) go to San Francisco (4-4-1). The St Louis Cardinals (4-5) have an inter-conference scrap at Baltimore (4-5). Wlnless Wash-lnfiton (0-9) journeys to Dallaa (4-5).

The Giants hope Johnson and rookie Allan Webb can take up some of the slack left by the loss of their injured aces. Cleveland could pull even with the Eagles In the East by spank-ing them. Browns' halfback Jimmy Brown has chipped in with more than 100 yarda rushing in each of Cleveland's last four garnet and had hit finest day of the season last weekend with 133 in a 17-6 conquest of Washington. He tops all NFL rushers. Philadelphia won the campaign's opener from the Browns 27-20, the Eagles streaking ahead on Tim Brown's 105-yard return of the opening klckoff.

Since that game, the Eagles have lost by Injury their ace pass defender Tom Brookshler. In contrast, the Browns will have available flankers Bob Cresplno and Rich Kreltllng, who were sidelined by injuries for the first meeting. One other question: Will the Packers, playing the rather hapless Rams, violate basic pro philosophy to play one game at a time and never look ahead? THE PACKERS have a Thanksgiving Day date Thursday with the challenging Lions of Detroit.

New York's best-in-the-league defense suffered heavy losses in the Philadelphia fracas, including backfiolders Dick Nolan and Bill Stits, and No. 1 offensive guard Jack Stroud. The Giants may need every ounce of defensive strength they can muster against the Steelers. Pittsburgh, without Layne, has won four of its last five.

It lost to the Giants earlier only 17-13. The Steelers' ground game, rugged the past month, could become even more potent with old master Layne's aerials and those of Rudy Buklch mixing up the attack.
