Ali knocks out Foreman, gains title KINSHASA, Zaire (AP) — Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman with a right to the head and won back the world heavyweight championship here Tuesday night to cap one of the greatest accomplishments ever in sport. It came 10 years after Ali had first won the title by knocking out Sonny Liston and seven years after he had the title stripped from him for refus ing induction into the military. Foreman seemed to be winning the eighth round when Ali backed him into a corner and landed a left and right to the head. Foreman took the count from referee Zack Clayton and Ali had won back his title. The defeat was the first ever for the 25-year-old Foreman, and the crowd of 50,000 created a mob scene and went crazy. Thirty-seven of Foreman’s previ ous 40 victories had been by knock out. But in the early morning hours in the equatorial African nation Fore man was simply no match for the 32-year-old Ali. Foreman, whose right eye was beginning to close as the eighth round began appeared to be very tired as the final round began. But he seemed to be winning that round until Ali unleashed the finishing flurry that must rank as his most spectacular accomplishment in a career with the unique and great in boxing. The fight opened with Foreman landing body punches as Ali tried to jab but seemed unable to keep the champion away. Then in the third round the pat tern of the fight began to change as Ali would back to the ropes and shoot short left and rights to the head as Foreman began to finish up his body punches.

Wi WILCOMI U.S. FOOD STAMPS round Ali shot home six straight punches to Foreman’s head without an answer and again carried the round with his jabs and occasional right counters. In the fifth round Foreman again had Ali against the ropes for over a minute and worked at his head and body, but Ali blocked most of the shots and the ones that landed did not seem to carry much steam. Then in the final 30 seconds of the round Ali suddenly staggered Foreman with a sharp right to the head and hit him with at least eight more head punches to carry the round. In the sixth round Ali snapped away at Foreman’s head with left hands and then, as Foreman moved forward, he again connected with one-twos to the champion’s head. At this point Foreman began showing Signs of losing the title he won by knocking out Joe Frazier in two rounds on Jan. 22, 1973. The seventh round was more of the same. Ali seemed to rest along the ropes and then take away the play by shooting home flurries of punches to the head. Throughout the fight, Ali taunted Foreman, who seemed to become more befuddled as the fight prog ressed and seemed absolutely frus trated in the final two rounds before Ali scored the dramatic knockout. The victory made Ali, who has called himself the people’s champ ion ever since he was stripped of the title, one of the kings of the world of sport and it seems certain to insure his place at or near the top of boxing history. It also probably prolonged the career of Ali, who fought his first professional fight exactly 14 years before this predawn bout in Africa. Ali had said just before the fight he had a $10 million guarantee from an unnamed source “when I knock out George Foreman.” Ali and Foreman each received $5 million for the first heavyweight championship staged on the conti nent from where their ancestors came. But it was an expensive night for Foreman, who was considered by some unbeatable by Ali, and who now ranks only among the challen gers. And he may now have to wait awhile for a rematch with Ali. Things go right for jinxed Oilers HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oiler Coach Sid Gillman said Mon day the Oilers quit standing around waiting for something to go wrong in Sunday’s 34-21 victory over 17-point favorite Cincinnati. T’ve been trying to convince our people that they are good,” Gillman told his weekly news conference. We didn’t stand around waiting for something bad to happen. Something good did happen to the Oilers—five fumbles by Cincin nati and the Oilers got all of them. Ronnie Carroll got three of them. Asked if Houston won the game or if Cincinnati lost it because of the fumbles, Gillman said, “When Steve Kiner comes in and knocks hell out of their quarterback and Elvin Bethea picks it up and scores a touchdown, that’s our play. We caused that.” Gillman also praised quarterback Dan Pastorini’s performance and part of the credit went to the offen sive line. “He’s getting great protection,” Gillman said. “They came at us pretty good and he got sacked only once. ” The Oilers will play two more road games against the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills before return ing home to host the Bengals again. Longhorns prepare new field AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — Texas Longhorn baseball players were so anxious to get into their new $2.'5 million stadium that they substi tuted shovels and wheelbarrows for bats and gloves Sunday. Coach Cliff Gustafson, assistant Bill Beathea and 25 or so players filled in dirt at the first base sliding pit so they could workout. “The job we did around first base Sunday was an entirely voluntary thing,” said Gustafson. “The players wanted to get into the new ball park so much that we all got together Sunday morning and made it as playable as we could.” The new field was expected to be ready by the start of fall practice Oct. 1, but bad weather delayed the installation of the artificial turf. Gustafson said the Longhorns will try t« use the new field for their final four workouts.
