Clay goes to jail

Robinson sets record in 1st season

MIAMI (UPI) — Deposed heavy weight champion Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay when he won the title, is back in training— this time for a scheduled 876,000 rounder, or five years in federal

prison.

Ali answered the call Monday of a two-year-old traffic violation conviction to begin serving a 10-day sentence in Dade County jail. But the main event — a five-year federal sentence for refusal to be drafted— won’t begin until later, if at all. “I might have to do five years for that other thing,” Clay said in a brief news conference, “so this will be conditioning for me. The U.S. Supreme Court will have the final say on that case. “I hate to go to jail because it upsets too many people on the whole planet—even in Asia and Africa. Just because of a traffic

ticket.”

NEW YORK (UPI)— Paul Robinson never thought he’d fit into the same category as a Jimmy Brown. In fact, he went the former Cleveland Browns star one better by rushing for 1,000 yards in his first season and winning the title to boot. Robinson, who helped Cincinnati tie an expansion club record with three victories in the Bengals’ maiden season, ruptured the American Football League ground gaining crown with 1,023 yards. Bob Holmes of Kansas City, another AFL freshman, was second with 866 yards, barely beating out Hewritt Dixon of Oakland for the runnerup spot by a yard. In one of the closest AFL races, Lance Alworth, the San Diego star flanker,took pass catching honors with 68 receptions as he caught five passes in the Chargers’ final game of the season last Sunday. George Sauer, the long-haired split end of the New York Jets, finished second with 66 as he grabbed only two passes in his club’s finale.

Burks lead for top job whittled away slowly

$ V. X;

By MILTON RICHMAN

UPI Sports Writer

NEW YORK (UPI)—Mike Burke is running into the same trouble Richard Nixon did. Too much early foot, as they say at the race tracks. Too big

an early lead.

Latest word from the “poll takers” is that Burke’s lead, once heavier than the Christmas mail, now has been whittled substantially. None theless he’s in the same spot Nixon was when last month’s big race got down near the wire. Burke still is the out-front favorite to be elected baseball’s new commissioner when the men who do the voting, the owners, get together for that purpose in Chicago Friday. Burke had the job a week ago. A few of the owners said as much, but along came that old bugaboo which has been murder down through the

One of those questions was: Why pick an American Leaguer? The question naturally came from the National League side of the fence. Dale a Candidate From out of nowhere or more specifically, from out of Cincinnati, a new candidate has emerged. His name is Francis L. Dale, he’s president of the Reds and a member of baseball’s new guard. Even if he doesn’t get the commission, ership, he’s a good bet to be named the next National League president.

The owners, meanwhile, are doing some soul-searching. The object of that soul-searching is their first choice, Burke. “This is a tremendously difficult job,” says one owner. “In some ways It’s like picking the Pope. We must make sure of getting the right man.” The owners have been in close touch this past week. They’ve been on the phone with each other a lot and the one question they’ve asked most is: What do you think? They haven’t asked me that question but I’ll give them my

opinion anyway. And for no extra charge. I think the man they’re looking for is right under their very noses and they don’t know it. His name is Harry Dalton, he’s vice president and director of player personnel for the Baltimore Orioles, and if you’ve never heard of him before it isn’t so surprising because that’s generally the way with a man who does his job professionally, completely efficiently and without undue fanfare.

Taking back seat to no one By STEVE SMILANICH UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI)— Kentucky Wesleyan, taking a back seat to no one, is making its presence known throughout the Blue Grass state and neighboring areas as the nation’s topranked NCAA college division basketball power. The Panthers, boasting a 26game win streak extending back into the 1968 campaign, were a near-unanimous choice as the No. 1 team in the latest weekly United Press International Board of Coaches ratings.

Tabulated on a basis mf 10 points for first place, nine for second and so on down the line, the Panthers accumulated 319 points. The Panthers, unbeaten in five outings this season, held a commanding lead over runnerup Central State of Ohio.

Third place in the weekly ratings went to Ashland (Ohio) with 180 points. Evansville’s Purple Aces were fourth with 149 points, followed by Nevada Southern with 130 points. Ashland, Evansville, Central State, Nevada Southern and Norfolk State received one first place vote each. Southwest Missouri places sixth with 98 points, followed by Cheyney State (87), Southwest Louisiana (63), Garmon (31) and American International (25). Kentucky Wesleyan picked up its fifth win of the early season campaigning Friday night by downing Arkansas State 69-64 at Jonesboro, Ark. The five wins combined with 21 consecutive victories compiled last season pushed the Panther win skein to 26. Their 21-game win streak last season carried them to the NCAA college division championship. The Panthers beat Indiana State 63-52 in the title game at Evansville, Ind.
