(UPI) Ni Orsi and Jean Saubert led the United States Olympians on a runaway of downhill events Friday in the National Alpine Ski Championships. Orsi, a 19-year-old University of Colorado student from Stock ton, Calif., took the men's event in 1:20.1 and Miss Saubert, America's double Olympic med al winner, won the women's event in 1:39.1.

Unpopular champ Clay gets boos from 2,200 ring fans NEW YORK (UPI) -Cassius Gay, fast becoming the world's most unpopular heavyweight boxing champion, was booed by 2,200 fight fans last night at Madison Square Garden. Cassius, or "Muhammed AU" as he now calls himself, was booed thunderously when he and his entourage walked into the Garden, The champ later refused to be introduced from the ring as "Cassius Clay." It was the second time in 24 hours that the loquacious pugi list was TKO'd. Earlier in the day the Army announced it had officially rejected the 22-year-old heavyweight "king" for mil itary service. It seems the fastest lip in the ring had flunked the GI mental aptitude test twice. Of course, poor Cassius got off to an unheroic beginning as champion when he won the title at Miami Beach last Feb. 25 with ancient Sonny Listen still sitting apparently un harmed on his ring stool as the bell sounded the beginning of the seventh round. Cassius went to the Garden where his friend, former wel terweight champion Luis Rod riguez of Miami Beach, out pointed Holley Mims of Wash ington, D.C. Cassius and Rod riguez are groomed by the same trainer, Angelo Dundee of Miami Beach. The booers tuned up when Cassius and party entered and occuoied seats about 20 rows from the ringside. Apparently they were saving tneir voices for the grand moment when the world heavyweight champion would be introduced from the rine to the Garden fans and the millions watching on home television. But that climactic moment never came. Promoter Harry Markson refused to permit the champ to be presented under Pirates see (EDITORS NOTE: This is the sixth of ?0 dispatches en the 194 prospects of the major league baseball reams.) By Lee H. Petersen UPI iltff Writer FORT MYERS. Fla. (UPD The Pittsburgh Pirates are per fectly wUling to forgive and forget forgive some of their newcomers for not coming through immediately and for get all about last year. Pittsburgh tumbled all the way to eighth place last sea son to the first year of its re building program, only because a number ot players counted upon to come through feU short of the mark. II was quite a comedown miles, split up by two laps of 18 miles each. The marathon and a variety of other races runs all day today and tomorrow. The starting line for all the races is 16 miles from Bend at a point a quarter of a mile west of the Spring River resort. The Wiy Is Marked Local enthusiasts and curious onlookers may reach the racing course by driving 12 miles south on Highway 97, and turning west on the Spring River resort company In the country. Chandler will be assigned to care for the extensive fish pass age facilities at Round Butte dam now nearing completion on the Deschutes river in Central Oregon. In addition to Chandler, PGE has a staff of three trained bio logists including head man George J. Elcher. They main tain a $10 million complex of fish passage systems on the Deschutes and Clackamas riv ers. The Round Butte system, be ing constructed at a cost of $1.5 million, will feature new con cepts in both upstream and downstream migrant facilities. Through a unique design by Eicher, upstream voyagers will be carried by an aerial "trolley tank" over the dam into the reservoir. Downstream migrat ing fingerlings will follow an artificial outlet into a water filled hopper which will be emptied gradually down a pipe line into the water below. All four of PGE's biologists have received undergraduate or graduate training at O r e g o n State University In the school of fish and game management. Chandler worked part - time for PGE's fisheries department in 1961 and 1962 while finishing his studies at OSU. He was em ployed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1958. Prior to that he served with the U.S. Navy, his new Black Muslim monick er "Muhammed AU." Markson explained at the time, "I cannot permit Clay's introduction under any name other than the one that's on his license at the State Athletic Commission office Cassius Clay. The commissioner would hold me responsible if I al lowed it." In the Garden, Cassius in sisted: "I'll be introduced as Muhammed All or there'll be no introduction." A friend of Markson's re marked later: "I'm certainly glad Harry used good judg ment about that Muhammed AU introduction. He probably prevented a riot." Muhammed AU is Clay's sec ond "Islamic" name since he admitted belonging to the Black Muslims two days after winning Listen's crown. At that time, he announced: "From now on I'U be known as 'Cassius X.'" At that time Cassius had great admiration for a radical MusUm leader, Malcom X, who since then has spUt off from the main Muslim organization and formed a splinter group of his own. When Cassius was asked last night if the army had notified him of his rejection, he said, "They notified my father and mother in Louisville, and my mother phoned me here in New York." The army's announcement that it's new system of de tecting when a man is "malin gering" on an aptitude exami nation definitely showed that Clay had done the best he could, the army announced. Concerning his future ring Slans, the champion said, "I'd ke to have a title fight this summer with Listen or any other challenger if the price is right and if I get paid enough money." from the Pirate glory days of 1960, when they won the Nation al League pennant and went on to take the World Series from the New York Yankees. The Pirate fortunes ebbed after that, so finally after the 1962 season, when Pittsburgh finished fourth, they made their big move. It turned out to be disastrous. The Pirates disposed of three fourths of their 1960 champion ship infield. Donn Clendenon at first base was a disappoint ment as a fill-in for Dick Stu art, who went to the Boston Red Sox and wound up win ning the runs batted in champ ionship of the American League with 118; Dick Schofield was below expectations in taking road.

The question Involved Bradley center Joe Strawder and a twisted right ankle he sustained in the Braves' semifinal victory over Army Thursday night. Strawder worked out brief ly at the Garden Friday and in sisted later that "the ankle is okay." However, Bradley Coach Chuck Orsborn, shooting for a record-equalling third NIT title, wasn't so sure. Neither were the oddsmakers. who tabbed the game, which wiU be tele vised nationally by NBC (4 p.m.. EST) as a pick 'em af fair. "If Strawder thinks he can play, it will be okay with me," said Orsborn. "But he's the only one who can tell. I didn't want him to work out yesterday but he insisted on it. Even if Strawder's ankle isn't throbbing with pain, he may have trouble coping with New Mexico's 6-8 Ira (The Large) Harge, who is considered the nation s finest defensive center.

The blond buckeye stood all square at 136 along with Rex Baxter of Amarillo, Tex., and Bob Shave of Willougby, Ohio, after a day of sensational shoot ing in which golden boy Arnold Palmer, stiU struggling to re capture his winning touch, could do no better than his second straight par round. That left Palmer eight shots off the pace but a host of others still were in the running. Slammin' Sammy Snead at 51 relinquished the lead he had taken with an opening 68 but scored a 69 which left him only one stroke behind at 137. An other veteran, 50-year-old Joe Lopez, Sr., of Key West, popped in his second straight 69 for iw while Jay Hebert had a 69, too, tor m Jay's brother, Lionel, carded a second straight 70 along with Billy Casper and Dave Marr to stand at 140 and only five shots behind at 141 were Mike Sou- chak, Tommy Aaron, Jack Rule, Jr., and Dave Hill. Defending champion Dan Sikes took bis second straight 75 to miss the 148 cut mark and bow out of the tournament but this was due to a day of red hot shootine over the 7,028-yard Doral course, a monster which the pros tamed handily because there was uiue wind to auect their play. Baxter, 28 year old former NCAA champion, started the day by breaking the course rec ord with a 33-33-66. Shave, who putts with a pendulum putter and strokes the ball from be tween his legs "Uke pitching pennies," tied him with a 33-34 67. Then Nicklaus came storming in with an eagle and four birdies for a 32-34-6 which matched Baxter's new course record. Ruth Jessen leads by one PENSACOLA. Fla. (UPI) -Ruth Jessen, a long belter from California, tees off in the sec ond round of the 35th annual women's Western Open goU tournament today with a one stroke lead and a hot putter. Miss Jessen, who putts from the widest stance in golf, used only 26 putts Friday in firing a two-under par 73 over tne sog gy Scenic Hills Country Club. Women's par on the 6,543-yard course is 38-37-75. Miss Jessen collected six bird ies with her accurate putter but she went astray with a double bogey and two bogeys when her approach shots strayed. Rain washed out Thursday's scheduled opening round and the top 32 players and ties will shoot two rounds Sunday. every opportunity to be our regular left fielder and I think he will make it and hit from 25 to 35 home runs for us," Murtaugh contends. But then he let one cat out of the bag he said he also was going to give his three third base candidates, Bailey, Gene Freeze and Gene Alley a shot at left field. Murtaugh admits catching could be a problem. He plans using the aging Smoky Burgess in "only one or two games a week" so we can have his big left handed bat on the bench."
