Oay/Ali's infamous "phantom punch."
He eventually drifted into obscurity
and died mysteriously in 1971 with
traces of heroin in his system.
It's kind of ironic. The high throne of
the world's scurnmiest sport is
something of a PJL job. As a result.
Sonny Liston is not often considered an
Ali, a Marciano or a Louis — and
neither is Larry Holmes.
History may very well describe
Holmes as a big mouth who failed to tie
Rocky Marciano's record, not as the
skilled fighter who took Gerry Cooney
apart as if he were an old automobile,
not as the courageous fighter who dug
down deep to defeat Eamie Shavers and
Ken Norton, and not as the sympathetic
fighter who begged the referee to stop
his bout with an overmatched Marvis
Fraizer.
Sonny Liston is often known as the
ex-con who quit in his comer and got
knocked out by an "invisible" punch,
not as the fearsome fighting machine
who twice tossed Floyd Patterson
around like a rag doll and twice
outslugged powerful Cleveland
Williams.
It appears that in more than a few
ways, being a good heavyweight
champion requires more than showing
tact in the ring. Ii requires laci outside
the ring. Something that first-rate
fighters Holmes and Liston didn't seem
to have.
Maybe it should be that way because
the ability to get along with people is
an important quality in every aspect of
life. However, a lack of polish in one
area should not be allowed to downgrade
his fine polish in another.
In the case of Larry Holmes, as it was
with that of Sonny Liston 25 years
back; trie paint has spilled over the
lines, the milk has dripped off the glass,
and the sad, sad song on the stereo has
found it's way through ihe neighbor's
open window.

The Tigers' only triumph of the day
came in No. 3 doubles where Aldear and
Craig Brinton bested Galley and Maley 6-
4.6-3.
Sline was pleased with his learns
performance, but feels the team's true
test will come this weekend down in
Los Angeles.
"Everyone on the team is playing
well, especially Jean and Marcos," he
said. "However it's still a question mark
as lo how well well do against ihe
tough teams.''

Fresno State sparkles in
Pacific Northwest Indoor
By Jon Matsune
Sports Editor
A thrilling victory by the men's mile
relay team was the highlight of an
excellent performance by the Fresno
State indoor track and field squads in the
Pacific Northwest Bell Indoor in
Portland, Oregon Saturday.
The invitational portion of the men's
mile relay saw the Fresno State quartet
of Chris Olsen, Benjie Green, Will
Breckinridge and Harland South record a
time of 3:24.2 to barely hold off Oregon, which finished at 3:24.7. The
Bulldog win was just one of many fine
efforts by FSU athletes.
In the collegiate division of the
men's 300, Green finished second at
59.7; and in the open section of the 400,
South took third with a 50.02. Also
standing out for the 'Dogs was All-
American Tamara Compton who placed
third in the open long jump (18-9 1/2)
and first in the collegiate 55-mcicr dash
(7.1).
Fresno State's April Freow was barely
edged out for first in the invi-tational 55-
meter dash. Freow and Oregon's Stephanie Hunter each compiled a time of
7.20, but Hunter picked up first place by
what FSU Men's Head Coach Red Effles
called "an eyelash.'' Rose Blake, meanwhile, took second in the open 400 at
60.13, being bested only by Olympic
medalist Judy Brown-King.
Cathy Jones, Michelle Ponsetto. Kim
McRae and Rose Blake gave Fresno
State a victory in the collegiate mile
relay, combining for a 4:013 and by 8.1
seconds, shattering the meet record held
by thel987 Bulldogs.
Other Bulldog firsts in the collegiate
competition were picked up by Pal
Alduenda (15-9 in the pole vault) and
Ernie Freer (4:21.9 in the mile). Janine
Ogas captured second in the two-mile,
recording a 10:54.1 and missing first by
just 1.2 seconds. McRae, witb a 1:11.1
in the 500, placed second.
"The Pacific Northwest Bell Indoor is
not aa team competition by any means,"
said FSU Indoor Head Coach Bob
Fraley, "But we still had a good team
effort from all of our individuals."
Fresno State next goes into action
Saturday in the Fresno State Weight
Pentathlon at Warmerdam Field. The
event marks FSLTs first home meet of
the '88 season.
