THE BATTALION
Tuesday, September 11, 1973
College Station, Texas Page 7
All Nips Ken Norton
In 12-Round Decision
h!
The 1973 Aggie football schedule has recently come
under attack for having three “weak sisters” in Wichita St.,
Boston College and Clemson in place of past opponents like
Nebraska and Ohio State. Not enough people realize that
Boston College received votes for the Associated Press Top
20, that Wichita will return 33 letterman compared to the
Aggies 17 and Clemson already has a win under its belt.
Saturday night’s assignment against Wichita could well
be nothing like the three cake walks the Aggies have had
over the Shockers. Wichita is indeed a vastly improved team
that is in the final stages of a rebuilding job, necessitated
by the air crash in October of 1970 in which 30 Shocker
footballers died.
Personal Battles Offer Highlights
The Aggie-Wichita game will offer several personal
battles to highlight the contest.
A&M tackle Dennis Smelser and guard Bud Trammell
draw the dubious but challenging assignment of battling
Shocker all-America candidate Rick Dvorak. Dvorak, a 6-4,
240-pound defensive tackle is a two time all-Missouri Valley
pick and was sophomore of the year in 1971.
Wichita safety A1 Lewis is another possible thorn in
the Ag’s side. Lewis drew Missouri Valley Player of the
Week honors for his 18 tackle performance againt A&M
last year and is one of 13 three-year letterman on the Shock
er squad.
Youthful ’73 Ags Unvailed
Saturday’s game should be one of the most exciting
Aggie openers as well as one of the most important in recent
A&M history.
A&M will unveil its “T-Bone” offense under game con
ditions for the first time. Also the Aggies will be throwing
freshman and junior college transfers out of the frying
pan and into the fire.
Several Aggies will be making their first appearances
for the Maroon and White but none so important as the
christening of former marine Mike Jay.
Jay is slated to start as the man under for the Ags and
the 21-year-old veteran of four college level football pro
grams is the most talented A&M quarterback since Ed Har
gett.
Wichita returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in ’73
and the Aggies have scored six TD’s in each of the three
previous contests. A&M set a school record for total of
fense with 550 yards against Wichita in 1970.
Emory Bellard and his elite few on the Aggie grid team
will not be the only ones on display come Saturday night.
The entire university, it’s image and all the students will
also come very much into focus. Several of those baby
faced freshman and junior college transfers have never been
to a real Texas A&M football game with all the pomp and
circumstances, tradition and just plain loud Aggies in the
surroundings. The first impression that the fans make will
leave an almost indelible mark on the minds of the new
warriors. It looks like the students will rise to the occasions
and greet the newcomers with open arms.
“Student response for tickets has nbver been this big
for an early season game,” said ticket manager Euleta Miller.
“At this rate I think we will go over the 30,000 mark. The
students are buying more tickets then they did for last
year's Army game but our other sales are off a little.”
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) —
Muhammad Ali shaking off Ken
Norton’s strength-sapping body
punches, put on a two-fisted at
tack to the head in the final round
that carried him to a split 12-
round decision Monday night
which avenged his broken jaw loss
of last March.
Ali, apparently realizing that
he was in danger of suffering
what would have been a career
ending loss, came out firing with
both hands to the head at the be
ginning of the 12th round and
hardly stopped punching for the
entire three minutes as he over
whelmed Norton.
The final-round blitz paid off
and kept Ali as a major challen
ger to heavyweight champion
George Foreman.
Judge John Thomas gave Ali
six points and Norton five on a
scoring system in which the win
ner of a round gets one point and
the loser none, with no points for
an even round. Referee Dick
Young scored it 7-5 for Ali, while
judge George Latka gave it to
Norton 6-5.
The Associated Press scored it
6-5 for Norton.
Thomas said after the fight that
he had five points for each man
going into the 12th and final
round of the slam-bang duel at the
Forum.
Ali seemed to be in serious
trouble in the 10th and 11th
rounds when solid shots to the
body by Norton turned the for
mer heavyweight champion from
a jabbing boxer into a flatfooted
fighter who looked every one of
his 31 years.
The 11th round was particularly
grim for Ali as Norton landed
five punishing shots to the body,
especially a left hand that dug
into the pit of Ali’s stomach.
But Ali was not to be denied.
He kept his word that he would
avenge one of the two losses he
has suffered against 42 pro vic
tories. The other defeat was to
Joe Frazier in 1971.
It was the loss to Norton in
which he suffered a broken jaw
last March 31 that was particul
arly galling to Ali.
Ali contended that he beat him
self in the first Norton fight be
cause he was out of shape—he
weighed 221 then, compared to
212 for this fight.
Ali worked hard and many ob
servers said he was in the best
condidtion he had been in in many
years.
That condition stood Ali in good
stead Monday night as Norton,
206, applied constant pressure and
worked to the body.
Ali danced and stuck with his
left hand in the first two rounds
like the Ali he once was. But the
pattern of the fight began to un
fold in the third round, as Ali con
centrated on the head with jabs
and hooks and two-hand combin
ations and righthand leads. Nor
ton concentrated on the body and
then shifted to the head with
hooks and an occasional chopping
right.
Both men appeared hurt on four
or five occasions, Ali’s eyes re
flecting pain from a couple of
body punches and two straight
right hands. Norton appeared
dazed and moved backwards sev
eral times from flurries of punch
es to the head with short right
hands by Ali being especially ef
fective.
However, neither man appeared
in danger of going down. Ali bled
slightly from the nose early and
Norton suffered puffiness around
the left eye and a gash below the
left eye which did not affect him.

He’s bright, ambitious, and

His performance surpassed

That’s why he’s Provident

And we’d like to point out
something significant to his

Outstanding performance is
never a matter of luck. It
