NEW YORK (M - Machine-
like Joe Frazier put on relent-
less pressure, knocked Mu-
hammad Ali down in the 15th
round and pounded out a un-
animous 15-round decision to
retain his world heavyweight
championship last night.
Frazier, who took control of
the fight in the 10th round,
sent Ali crashing to the canvas
with a thunderous left hook
in the 15th that ballooned

Ali's right cheek to a grotes-
que shape.
It was all Ali could do to last
the round as his remarkable come-
back bid ended and Frazier gain-
ed universal recognition as t h a
world's premier fiahter.
Ali, going down to the first de-
feat of his professional career, had
come back to take the 14th round
with a flurry of head punches and
charged out in the 15th with a bid
to end it.
Then suddenly Frazier's hook
flashed and the sellout Madison

Square Garden crowd of more
than 19,500 on hand for the
world-wide televised fight went
into a frenzy.
Ali got up at four and t o o k
referee Arthur Mercante's manda-
tory eight count. Frazier landed
several solid body and head
punches as Ali reeled around the
ring until the bell ended the fight.
There was little doubt who the
winner was.

the ring.
Ali was clearly in trouble as he
tottered to his corner at the end of
the round and the celebrity-laden
throng that paid an indoor live re-
cord boxing gate of $1.25 million
went wild.
Frazier kept up the pressure in
the 12th and 13th rounds as Ali's
trainer, Angelo Dundee, and h is

ed with him to take charge.
He did in the 14th round.
Frazier was a slight 6-5 favorite.
In West Covina, Calif., it was
reported that a rematch was "al-
most a certainty; it's an auto-
matic rematch." The San Gabriel
Valley Tribune said the rematch
would be held in the Forum in In-
glewood, a suburb of Los Angeles.
The second bout would be held
"in the summer."
After the fight, Clay was taken
to a hospital and Bundini
Brown, one of his handlers, said
he had a broken jaw. It was not
certain in what round it hap-
pened.
Frazier, who put in a full night's
work for his $2.5-million purse and
looked it, excused himself from
the post-fight news conference.
"Let me go straighten my face
up," he said. "I ain't this ugly."
Frazier said he dropped his
arms during the fight "to let him
know he can't hurt me. I feel
stronger now than when I went
in."
The champion made a point of
calling Ali by his former name,
Cassius Clay. He repeated t h e
name "Clay" three times at one
point, each time emphacizing the
name that Ali discarded after
winning the heavyweight crown in
1964.

"Kill the body and the h e a d

fight and it was this plan he fol-

after 31 pro victories.
Frazier suffered a bloody nose
and was badly swollen about both

IN BIG TEN
Wisconsin retains track title

By SANDI GENIS
The deep freeze that enveloped
the midwest this past weekend had
little effect on Wisconsin's red hot
track team as they coasted to
their fifth consecutive Big Ten
title.
Displaying amazing balance,
placing men in all but three.
events, the Badgers racked up 57
points at Wisconsin's Camp Ran-
dall Memorial stadium to bury an
upstart Michigan State squad by
eleven points and establish them-
selves as contenders for the na-
tional title in this weeks NCAA
meet in Detroit.
Meanwhile; the Wolverines,
hardhit by injuries to star hurd-
lers Godfrey Murray and Mel
Reeves, couldn't seem to shake
the cold, placing in only seven
events to garner only 13' points
for eighth place in the conference.
Murray, generally recognized as
the best high hurdler in the con-
ference, fell victim to a Big Ten
championship rule that forbids an
athlete from scratching from any
event in which he is entered.
Having already qualified for the
highs with one of the fastest times
of the evening, he was forced to
run in the preliminary heat of the
70 yard lows with a tightened
muscle, pulling a hamstring t h a t
disabled him for the finals and
perhaps for the NCAA's this week-
end.
Reeves, Murray's amazing fresh-
man compatriate, was also lost for
the finals when he aggravated a
previous injury.

One pleasant surprise for Mich-
igan came with Wolverine sprint-"
er Gene Brown's second place fin-
ish in the 60 yard dish. Brown
turned in two consecutive tre-
mendous performances against
Spartan super speedster Herb
Washington, nearly nipping the
co-world record holder at the tape
in both the semis and finals. Both
were clocked at 6.1.
Freshman Kim Rowe, running
the 300 yard dash for the first
time this season, turned in a fine
performance in that event to fin-
ish 5th with a time of 31.7. Ind-
iana's Mike Goodrich, the defend-
ing champ, won the race with a
30.4 performance.
Two other Wolverine. stalwarts,
Rick Storrey and Phil Pyatt, man-
aged to pull off fourth place fin-
ishes. In the 1000 Storrey turned
in his best time of the season
with a "2.09.9 timing, while Pyatt
was clocked at a fine 8:57.4 in the
two mile. In that event Minne-
sota's defending champ Garry
Bjorkland set a new Big Ten re-
cord with a 8:49 run..
Wolverine field Coach J a c k
Harvey had a disappointing week-
end as he saw his long distance
mark in the shot put mark shat-
tered three consecutive times, not
by his freshman understudy Steve
Adams, as he had hoped, but by
Indiana's defending champ B o b
Winchell, who finally established a
new mark of 5818. Adams tossed
the shot 55-61/2 to capture third
place.

High jumper John Mann, who
finished second indoors last year,
had a bad day clearing 6-8 to tie
for 5th place. But defending
champ. Pat Mazdorf of the Badg-
ers brought the partisan crowd of
over 4000 to their feet by clearing
7-3 to establish a new Big Ten re-
cord and retain the title. The
jump also equaled the American
record, and was the best jump
ever indoors by a Big Ten under-
grad.
The final Wolverine entry to'
place captured the fifth slot in
mile relay as the team of Greg
Syphax, Kim Rowe, Reggie "Bad-
fellow" Bradford, and Lorenzo
Montgomery posted a time of
3:16.9 winning the first timed
heat easily.
For Wisconsin the Badgers sup-
er runner Mark Winzenried p r o-
vided a little excitement for the
fans as he successfully retained his
880 title with a fine 1:49.9 tim-
ing, while another of Wisconsin's
fine distance men, Don Vandrey,
finished fourth. However, surpris-
ingly, the two traded places in the
mile as Vandrey posted a 4:07 run
with Winzenreid in fourth at
14:08.7.
Another of the Badgers field
stars Patrick Onyango, a fresh-
man Winzenreid recruited in
Kenya during a trip there last
year, put on quite an exhibition in
the triple jump with a jump of
50-5 eclipsing the old mark by
nearly two feet.

terday asking permission to sign a
five-year lease with the Chicago
Bears to play their National Foot-

"The decision revolved around

million. The only private endowed
school in the Big Ten-more fi-
nancially pressed than the others
because of sky-rocketing costs
throughout the athletic program-
would have realized $2.2 million
under the five-year lease with the
Bears.
The Big Ten also ruled that any
team other than the champion can
accept a bid to compete n the Na-
tional Invitational Basketball Tour-
nament March 20-27 in New York.
In an agreement with the NIT,
the runnerup team would be named
and any others that the NIT wished
to invite. In case of. a tie for sec-
ond place, the NIT will select one,
or both teams.
In case of a championship tie in
basketball, there will be a playoff
on the neutral Purdue court at a
date yet to be determined with the
winner going to the NCAA tourna-
ment.

Don't let success get you down

Once there was an upwardly mobile man whom I will call Case-
ment R. Glebe (not his real name). Even as an undergraduate Mr.
Glebe didn't fumble and dither and grope for the meaning of life like
some lazy long-haired slobs I could name. He knew exactly what life
was about. Life was working hard so you could get good grades and
graduate with honors and find a swell job and get married and move
to Westport and have three children like every other decent American.
And that's precisely what Mr. Glebe did. He graduated magna,
got a swell job in the advertising game, married a girl, whom I will
call Mavis Davis (her real name), who was not only service-oriented
and achievement-prone but also had a real nice build, and they bought
a lovely home in Westport with electric baseboard heating and within
three years they had three fine sturdy little boys-Flopsy, Mopsy and
Seymour.
To his sons, Mr. Glebe was a loving but stern father. He raised
them to believe in his own guiding values-ambition, self-denial and
hard work-and the boys responded brilliantly. Flopsy, the oldest,
finished high school as valedictorian and was accepted by Harvard.
Mr. Glebe was, of course, very proud and happy. The following year
Mopsy was also valedictorian and was also accepted by Harvard.
Again Mr. Glebe was proud but, to be perfectly honest, not quite so
happy, for now he had two sons in Harvard at the same time, which
is something no man in the world can afford, not even an advertising
man.

Have
confidence
It'll help you through exams,
speeches, class recitations
and even just being with your
friends. It's something every
girl needs. One way to be
confident is with Tampax
tampons.
Internally worn Tampax
tampons can keep you
cool and calm even
when you're the center
of attention. They can't show
or chafe or cause odor like
sanitary napkins. They're
softly compressed and highly,
absorbent for protection you
can depend on.
And one more important
fact. Tampax tampons were
developed by a doctor so you
know you can trust them.
Even if you've just begun to
menstruate.
Confidence has made
Tampax tampons the best-
selling tampons in the world.
And that confidence can
make things easier for you.
Right from the start ...

Then a horrible thought struck Mr.Glebe."Good grief!" he cried
one night to his wife Mavis (her real name). "Next year Seymour gets
out of high school. If he makes Harvard too, I am ruined!"
He ran at once to Seymour's room and found the industrious lad
doing his homework in modern Sanskrit, urban entropy, ethnic alge-
bra and societal dysfunction. "Son, have you ever thought of becom-
ing a moral degenerate?" said Mr. Glebe to Seymour. "Wouldn't you
like to drop out, maybe have an identity crisis, wear beads, get busted
in Amsterdam, stuff like that?"
"That's rich, Dad," said Seymour, chuckling, and went on to
graduate as valedictorian and thence off to Harvard.
Poor Mr. Glebe! So distraught was he with financial worries that
one day his mind finally buckled and he made a disastrous error. One
of his accounts at the advertising agency was Dullbrau Beer which,
frankly, was just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill kind of beer. Still, Mr.
Glebe had managed to think up this real catchy advertising slogan:
Drink Dullbrau ... it's better than nothing
Well sir, sales were not entirely what the Dullbrau people had
been hoping for, so they insisted on a new slogan. And Mr. Glebe, the
poor devil, his mind unhinged by fiscal problems, made the above-
mentioned disastrous error. Here was his new slogan:
Drink Dullbrau ... it's better than Miller High Life
Well sir, I guess I don't have to tell you what happened! Every-
body in the country just stamped and hooted and laughed till they
wept. "Dullbrau better than Miller High Life, the Champagne of
Beers?" they cried, stamping and hooting and laughing till they wept.
"How droll! Why, no beer is better than Miller! In fact, no beer is re-
motely as good as Miller!"
Then everybody finished stamping and hooting and laughing till
they wept and went back to drinking Miller High Life and enjoying
every distinctively delicious drop. Dullbrau, of course, went out of
business. Mr. Glebe, of course, got fired. His sons, of course, had to
quit school.
Todv .alas. the nno nrnrou Glehe family is destitute and
