Guthrie's bid at Indy earns praise despite setback
Janet Guthrie nearly made history at Indianapolis as she drove A. J. Foyt's car in a bid to qualify for the Indy 500. Despite posting speeds above 181 mph, the car's unreliability kept her from a final qualifying run. Mario Andretti led qualifications with 189.404 mph as 33-car field formed, with several veterans bumped from the lineup.

Ali Heavily Favored To Defend Title In Uncertain Bout
Muhammad Ali, trimmed to about 220 pounds, is a strong favorite to defend his world heavyweight title against European champion Richard Dunn in Munich. Ticket sales lag, with half of 12,500 seats sold as promoters face about 500,000 dollars in red. The bout, set for early Tuesday live on NBC, follows a collapse of the arena floor during weigh in and prior financial and riot-related tensions surrounding the event. Dunn, seen as a plodding challenger with a glass chin, faces the confident champ who has already paid for many free tickets to ease debt.
