For one thing, the Packers, western Conference pacesetters, will be at home for their game against the Detroit Lions.

The Cardinals, occupying first place in the Eastern Confer. ence, will be at Philadelphia against an simproving Eagles' team. The unbeaten Packers and Cards are favored to win, Green Bay by 1312 points, but St. Louis by only 212. The meetings highlight he NFL's six-game program.

In other games, Dallas, 2-0, is at Atlanta, 0-3; Cleveland, 12-2 is at New York, 0-2-1; Chicago, 0-2, at Minnesota, 0-2-1; and Pittsburgh, 1-1-1, at Washington, 1-2. Another Split? The Lions, who split two meetings with the Packers last season, won their second game of 1966 against one loss last week-end by beating Atlanta 28- 10. Milt Plum was the Detroit star with 19 completions for 230 yards and two touchdowns. St. Louis and Philadelphia will be meeting for the second time this year.

The Cards won the first one three weeks ago, 16-13, on Jim Bakken's field goal with five seconds left to play. The Cowboys will be their first road game against the new Falcons. Dallas came from behind a 10-0 deficit last week and beat Minnesota 28-17 to remain only one-half game behind the Cardinals. Winless Atlanta, with Junior Coffey and Ernie Wheelright doing most of the carrying, lead the league in average yards per rush with 4.8. Browns on Streak Cleveland has won its last four games against the Giants, who will be playing their first home game.

Leroy Kelly, Jimmy Brown's replacement, rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns against St. Louis last Sunday. The Bears and Vikings each 'beat the other with a last minute rally in 1965, Chicago winning 45-37 and Minnesota 24- 17. The Washington-Pittsburgh game is a rematch of last week's tilt, won by the Redskins 33-27 on the Steelers' field. Charlie Gogolak and Sonny Jurgenson were the standouts in that one, Gogolak kicking four field goals and Jurgensen completing 20 of 33 passeS for two touchdowns.

The surprising Chiefs, 3-0 have traveled to Buffalo, Oakland and Boston for home openers on successive weekends and have proved to be ungracious visitors by winning each time. Kansas City, with Len Dawson's hot passing backed by the running of Bert Coan, Curt Mc. Clinton and rookie Mike Gar.

rett, may be just as mean in the role of host. The Chiefs are surprisingly large 1112 point favorites over the bills. In the other Sunday games, the Chargers, 3-0, co-leader in the West with Kansas City, is a prohibitive 27 point choice over Miami, 0-3, at San Diego; the New York Jets, 3-0, leaders of the Eastern Division, are 712 point favorites over the Patriots, 1-2 at Boston, and Houston, 2-2, tied for second in the East with Buffalo, is a 10-point choice over the Broncos, 0-3, at Denver. Oakland is idle. Scorers Matched The Buffalo-Kansas City contest matches the two highest scoring teams in the AFL, Buffalo with 112 points and KC with 119.

In their first clash at Buffalo, Sept. 11, the Chiefs walloped the Bills 42-20. Buffalo quarterback Jackie Kemp had arm trouble for that opener but appears ready to go this week, supported by the improved running of Wray Carlton and rookie halfback Bobby Burnett of Arkansas. Last week Buffalo edged Houston 27-20 while Kansas City walloped Boston, 43-24, with Dawson hitting on five touchdown passes. The Patriots, already trailing the Jets by two games, are almost in a must-win situation- to stay in the race.

New York's Joe Namath and held to 17 by Denver last week, leads in virtually every offensive and defensive department and appears too strong.

"Which play gives you the' most trouble?" Robinson was asked a couple of years Oo by a Baltimore writer. Tough Question Robinson didn't answer immediately, obviously finding harder to field the question then his position. "Oh, going to my right," he finally answered, grinning Islightly. "I have trouble getting my arm across my body." I Robinson probably hasn't had any difficulty going to his right since grammar school days in Little Rock, Ark. Always a superb fielder, Robinson hes been voted the best defensive third baseman in the American League for the past six seasons.

Over the last half 'dozen years, he also has developed into one of baseball's better hitters. jors quicker with the Orioles." After spending parts of four seasons in the minors, Robinson has been a regular with Baltimore since 1960 and now commands a salary of about $55,000. Robinson finished third to Roger Mans and Mickey Mantle in the voting for the Most Valuable Player award in 1960, won the MVP in 1964 and was third again last season. After the third week of July this year he already had topped his home run (18) and RBI (80) totals for the entire 1965 season. "I never thought I would hit the way I have," Robinson said.

'When I first came up, most of the pitchers overpowered me. But I guess I've gotten stronger physically and I have learned how they pitch." Otherwise Lefty Although he bats and throws Iright-handed, Brooks uses his left hand to eat, write and play tennis, "I think this has helped me in my fielding," he said, "because I have good coordination in my left wrist and hand."

He quicki von 13 fights, the last seven by knockouts, then knocked out Lew Ambers in three rounds on May 10, 1940,1, for the lightweight title. "It was the last time I trained' for a fight on anything but booze," he recalls. Jenkins sometimes relieves those times by playing scratchy old records made from the radio broadcasts of some of his fights.

Ile grows intent as he listens to the recording of his 10-round, fight against Fritzle Zivic, then welterweight champ. The two title holders fought to a draw in the nontitle fight, considered one of the most bruising in box. ing history. "I was dead drunk the day of that fight," says Jenkins, "He sliced me up up real good 43 stitches in the face. I don't know how I stayed up, drunk as 11 was." He defended his title success fully two more times, but then the riotous living caught up with him.

In a motorcycle wreck "when I was drunk again," Jenkins was hospitalized with three injured vertebrae in his back. Badly beaten in a nontitle fight, he then had his title lifted by Sammy Angott.

George Kell, a former All-Star third baseman, goes beyond that. Kell recently Wed Robinson "the best player in the game today." "I never saw Traynor play," said Kell, who now broadcasts Detroit Tigers' games. "but if he was any better than Brooks. he belonged in another league." Robinson, usually mild mannered, sounded off recently about playing exhibition games iduring the season and night games when the team is scheduled to play in another city the next day.
