McAlister barred from Times Indoor Games. NCAA rule clash arises
UCLA running back and long jumper James McAlister is barred from the Times Indoor Games on February 8 by the AAU. A new NCAA rule allows professional multi sport athletes to compete in college track, making McAlister eligible for UCLA's 1974 season, though the AAU does not. Meanwhile George Foreman agrees to defend the world heavyweight title March 26 in Caracas versus Ken Norton, with $700,000 for Foreman and $200,000 for Norton, far from the Ali showdown earnings anticipated.
