Giants Weigh Hornung Return in NFL Title Prep
New York Giants coach Al Sherman said defensive plans will assume Paul Hornung may play for Green Bay in the NFL championship, with Tom Moore a close substitute. Sherman, named UPI coach of the year, notes Moore resembles Hornung in size and ability, and the team will practice at Bear Mountain ahead of the Yankee Stadium showdown. Hornung has knee trouble and has played little since Oct. 14, while Moore has stepped up, averaging 3.4 yards per carry during Hornung’s absence.
