Clay Fight Not Slated For TV Cable
Decatur residents cannot view the heavyweight title bout between Clay and Chuvalo on Tuesday night as Cassius Clay’s re classification from 1-A to 1-A led Phoenix based headquarters to ban telecasting. Cable TV manager Randy Fraley said the main office notified him the fight cannot be shown, despite earlier approval for a Clay Terrell bout. The American Legion plans to picket any theater carrying the bout.
