After Steve Ensminger, last
jason’s offensive coordinator
as fired, Slocum hired Steve

de offense is what he got. A&M
lowed the same strong ground
Ime they’ve always had, but
here was a new high completion

as been missing over the years.
Marshall said he still wants
he completion percentage to
hprove to about 65 percent., it
as about 58 percent against the
larkats. Last season the Aggies
impleted just 48 percent of
eir passes.
He said the key to A&M’s pass-
g success is the ability to throw
it of the same formations their
st running plays come from
id utilize play action.
“All the sets we’re going to
:esent to the defense, we’ve got
run out of those sets and
e’ve got to throw the ball deep,”
iarshall said. “If we do those
ro things effectively, we’ll be
:ry productive.”

“Somebody stole stuff from
me,” Ali said later Wednesday dur
ing an Internet chat with fans.
The cherished personal souvenirs
are among more than 3,000 items
from the boxing great’s career that are
to go on the block at Christie’s Los
Angeles on Oct. 19. Ali and his wife,
Lonnie, are not involved in the auc
tion and do not plan to buy anything.
Asked if he wanted some items
back for a museum planned in
Louisville to honor him, Ali
replied, “I wouldn’t mind but it’s
nothing to cry over.”
Items include his 1960 Golden
Gloves trophy, which could draw at
least $30,000, and an Aug. 23, 1966-
dated letter Ali wrote to the draft
board requesting new classification.
It was the last letter sent before he
refused induction. That action cost
him his boxing title, got him banned
from competition and made him a
national hero to some and a draft-
dodger to others.
There are also items that used to
be stored in his father’s home in
Louisville that were sold without Ali’s
approval. Those items — photo al
bums and trophies—fell into hands
of collectors when they were left
when his father’s home was vacated.
A spokesman for Christie’s in New
York declined to immediately re
spond to Ali’s remarks on Wednesday.
The former heavyweight champi
on conjured flashes from his past in
a sentimental return to Central High
School, firing jabs at a young boxer
amid cheers from students.
“This is his high school,” Cen
tral High School Principal Harold
Fenderson said. “He is excited
about being here. He is the great
est champ of all time.”
It was part of Ali’s return to his
hometown this week to attend an
amateur boxing tournament and
tribute named in his honor.
At Central High, Ali was known as
up-and-coming amateur boxer Cas
sius Clay. He graduated before win
ning the gold medal at the 1960
Olympics at Rome.
