Louis and Cleveland risk winning streaks in top National Football League action. Most of the games pair rivals within their own divisions. Only two interdivisional matches are ii At 1 Or GAMt One New Houston Gets Good Shot At By MURRAY CHASS Associated Press Sports Writer When the Houston Oilers traded quarterback Don Trull to the Boston Patroits last year, Oiler Coach Wally Lemm said, "1 think he'll be better with a change of scene." It's taken one year and two scene changes, but Trull has proved Lemm correct. Now it's up to Trull to prove he can keep the Oilers in the running for their second consecutive title in the American Football League's Eastern Division. With the 27-year-old Oklaho-man at quarterback, the Oilers are in New York Sunday to try and keep the Jets from taking the crown away from them.

New York, which never has won the title, has a 2-game lead over Houston. If the Oilers lost Sunday, they would have four more losses than the Jets and only four games to play. REAL CLOSE In the West, meanwhile, the top three teams are bunched within a half game, and the schedule has first-place Kansas City at Cincinnati, Oakland at Denver and San Diego at Boston. Miami is at Buffalo in the other eame. Trull was the nation's No.

Patriots thought so highly of Trull's potential that they traded away veteran Babe Par-illi. The for the second time Trull was unable to hold the starting job. After the Pats cut him, the quarterback shopped around and wound up back with the Oilersbut on their taxi squad. Finally, as the result of Pete Beathard's emergency appendectomy and Bob Davis' ineffectiveness, the 6-foot-l, 196-pound Trull got a third, and most likely, final chance. GETS WIN Three weeks ago, against the Jets, he passed for two touchdowns in the final quarter, forcing New York to come from behind for its victory.

Going into the second Jet game, he now has thrown six scoring tosses in nine quarters and has completed 56 per cent of his passes more than a slight improvement over his 1967 record of 33.7 per cent. Trull's six touchdown passes, incidentally, are six more than the Jets' Joe Namath has thrown in his past five games. The Jets aren't concerned, however, since they've won four of those contests. If any team is likely to continue Namath's streak, it should be and Pennsylvanian Mark Dono hue by three points. All three drive Chevrolet-powered McLarens.

TRAILING TEXAN In fourth place is Texan Jim Hall, who with 12 points cannot catch up in the points race even with a victory at Stardust. Hulme has scored two wins in the series. McLaren, Donohue and John Cannon have one each. Other prominent drivers who are competing in the series but have had problems with their Group 7 sports cars are Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and John Surtees of England, the winner of the first Can-Am championship three years ago and the last two Las Vegas events. Andretti and Surtees have failed to finish a race and Gurney has one sixth-place finish.

Qualifying for the 32 starting positions will be held Friday 70 laps or 210 miles over the and Saturday.

It is a wide open scramble in the rugged Central Division with only a half game separating the four teams.

The winner of the Green Bay (3-4-1) at Minnesota (4-4) rematch could take over, depending on the suc cess or failure of the Lions and Bears.
