AM pounds out decision
NEW YORK (AP) Muhammad Ali; calling on
every trick he has learned in his long and con
troversial career, pounded out a unanimous 15-
tyound decision over Ken Norton last night and
retained his world heavyweight championship.
The 34-year-old Ali, sometimes floating like the
butterfly he has bragged about, other times
stinging like a bee with solid jabs and short right
leads, seemed to control the tempo from the outset
although Norton kept moving forward and landed
sie harder punches.-
Ali even resorted to the rope-a-dope defense he
used when he wrested the title away from George
Foreman.
There was only one thing he did not do. He did not
destroy Norton as he predicted he would do.
Referee Arthur Mercante scored the fight 8-6-1 for
Ali while judges Harold Lederman and Barney
Omith each had it 8-7 for Ali.
The Associated Press had it 9-6 for the champion.
Norton now has gone 39 tough rounds with the
man who proclaims himself the greatest fighter of
•jail time. The only thing he has to show for it is one
victory, some real good money and a night of
frustration.

spring because he had shin
splints, he said, but his team
mates say that his dedication
to his fraternity was the
reason for his failure. East

they say.
“He also loves the smell of
manure,” a running back
said.
Tishov could not find the
words to verify the story, but
did comment extensively on
the field goal.
“I hit it good” he said.

The defeat probably wrote an end to Norton’s
boxing career. At 31, movies seem to be more in his
future than fights.
Ali, who predicted the fight would not go more
than five rounds, came out flat-footed, gunning for
power. His best weapons in the first six rounds were
short right hands, many of them leads.
But Norton gave as good as he got and after eight
rounds it seemed to be anybody’s fight.
Then, in the ninth, Ali came out dancing and jab
bing and the jab was effective. The champion also
shook Norton with a left-right-left to the head in the
round which ended with Norton scoring a solid right
to the head.

secondary read it. I took the

We had it all the way.” (note:
Delta is not a humble team)
But a thriller like this one
wouldn’t be complete without
an analysis by the winning
quarterback, who braved the
cold weather and dew ridden
grass, to throw' five in

twelve on the ground.
“It was tough out there
tonight,”' Moore said. “The
ball was extremely wet.”
Could the smell of manure
have bothered him?
“It was a combination of
things,” he closed.

In the 10th, Ali was dancing and jabbing again and
Norton couldn’t do anything about it. Ali made it
three rounds in a row, at least on The AP card, when
he took the 11th round, in which Norton imitated
Ali’s rope-a-dope, a tactic the champ had used
earlier in the fight.
Then in'the 11th, Ali scored with two telling rights,
both of them leads, and two good lefts to the head.
But Norton kept coming and punching with all his
power, although he was never able to land the punch
that could turn the tide for him in the final four
rounds. And Ali remained effective with his left
hand right to the final bell, although he missed more
in the ffnal 12 minutes than he had for most of the
fight.
The 15th round ended with Norton, weighing
217%, bulling the 221 pound Ali into a neutral corner
and scoring with several hard punches to the head
and body.
When the final bell rang Norton had a look of
jubilation on his face. >
But when he left the ring a few minutes later there
were tears in his eyes.

Speedy winger Rich Reice picked up a loose
ball and, through a strong individual effort,
scored the winning goal last night as Penn
State’s soccer team recorded a 3-2 victory at
West Chester.
Reice, a junior who also assisted on the
Lions’ second score, tallied his third goal of
the year at the 24:32 mark of the second half
as Penn State upped its record to 4-1.
Steve Beck of the host team got the only
goal of the West Chester-dominated first half
at 32:04. Lion goalie Dan Gallegher made the
initial save on a shot taken from inside the 18-
yard line, but he was hurt on the play and was
unable to get back up as Beck rammed home
the rebound.
Midfielder Leo Bodossian, Penn State’s
leading goal-getter of a year ago with eight
when he played forward, scored his first of
this season five minutes and 42 seconds into
the second half to knot the count at 1-1.
BdHossian was credited with the score after
leammate Jim Stamatis’ head shot deflected
off the midfielder behind West Chester goalie
Mike Todd.
The Lions kept the pressure on and it
resulted in a goal at 58:29 by Sal Bommarito,
his first of the year.

Bommarito took a shot that Todd deflected
into the goal post. Reice followed with a shot
that also struck the post, but Bommarito
pounced on that rebound and put the ball past
Todd.
West Chester tied the game, however, at
68:17 as Jim Hess took a pass from right
winger Jamie Toledo and beat Gallagher
from 18-yards out.
But Reice notched the winner just 1:15
later. His first shot hit a fullback’s leg, but
Reice got the ball back and put it in from 12
yards.
THROW-INS The Lions slipped to 15th in
the national rankings after the 2-1 loss to
Hartwick. They were ninth. Hartwick re
mained sixth this week.... West Chester’s rec
ord slipped to 2-1. Its previous victims were
Bucknell and Rider.
Penn State outshot West Chester on the
game, 23-9, and held the advantage in corner
kicks, 8-3 .... Gallagher was forced to make
three saves while Todd credited with
nine .... The game was played on a football
field, which turned out to be only slightly
shorter, but was 12 yards narrower than Jef
frey Field, home of the Lions .... Penn State
is at home Friday against West Virginia.
