By JIM MORRISSEY LOUISVILLE, Ky. (PG)-Paul Hornung nervously tapped a well-polished toe in an off-stage dressing room.

His usual happy-go-lucky demeanor had been sobered by a question: What's your attitude about the possibility your National Football League suspension will be lifted? Hornung was drapped in a frown and his own thoughts momentarily. Then he answered with moving sincerity that at first blush seems foreign to his exuberant nature. He said: "I hope and pray It bap-pens. It's been a real, long year." Hornung was wrapped in a fore he took over master of ceremonies chores at a sport and boat show in his Louisville, home town.

"I can't find the proper words to tell you how anxious I am to get back to the Green Bay Packers," he declared. Hornung has kept busy and obviously has done well financially during his grounded period. But his close friends report money making hasn't relieved the torment that has plagued him.

One man commented: "Paul has kept busy at a number of projects. And he throws himself into them with typical Hornung enthusiasm. He's never neutral about anything. But Paul Hornung considers himself first and foremost a professional football player. That's his life and he has suffered I mean really suffered because he couldn't be out there with the Pack." Keeping busy for Hornung has included a five-days-a-w sports commentary show on WIIAS radio in Louisville and a Sunday sports Show on WHAS-TV.

He has traveled over much of the eastern half of the United States making banquet speeches. And he has made a number of personal appearances in an advertising-promotion capacity for a large sportswear manufacturer (Jantzen). Also he and William II.
