Clay resentenced to five years for draft evasion in court
Former heavyweight champion Cassius Clay receives a five year prison term and a $10000 fine for draft evasion in a Houston federal court. The sentence matches the prior penalty from Judge Joe Ingraham after Supreme Court orders over wiretap evidence. Clay plans an appeal to the Fifth Circuit while remaining free on bond. In separate local game notes, Lompoc II edges Santa Ynez II 50 49 in overtime, led by Randy Diboll with 16 points.
