Nastase, who previously had been fined $5,000 by the Association of Tennis Professionals for breaking a boycott of this year's Wimbledon tournament, was fined by the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association for his behavior at the U.S. Indoor Championships at Salisbury, and the Western Championships at Cincinnati.

He was fined for arguing with linesmen and allegedly throwing his match at Salisbury and for using profane language and bullying linesmen at Cincinnati. iff Jets trade Don Maynard I If ill i tAZ-ag 4f best condition he had been in in many years. That condition stood Ali in good stead Monday night as Norton, 206, applied constant pressure and worked to the body. Ali danced and stuck with his left hand in the first two rounds like the Ali he once was. But the pattern of the fight began to unfold in the third round, a pattern that saw Ali concentrate on the head with punches ranging from jabs to hooks to two-hand combinations and right-hand leads as Norton concentrated on the body and then shifted to the head with hooks and an occasional chopping right.

Both men appeared hurt on four or five occasions throughout the fight, Ali's eyes reflecting pain from a couple of body punches and two straight right hands. Norton appeared dazed and moved backwards several times from flurries of punches to the head with short right -hands by Ali being especially effective. By ED SCHUYLER JR. Associated Press Sports Writer INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) -Muhammad Ali, shaking off Ken Norton's strength-sapping body punches, put on a two-fisted attack to the head in the final round that carried him to a split 12-round decision Monday night which avenged his broken jaw loss of last March.

Ali, apparently realizing that he was in danger of suffering what would have been a career-ending loss, came out firing with both hands to the head at the beginning of the 12th round and hardly stopped punching for the entire three minutes as he overwhelmed Norton. The final-round blitz paid off and kept Ali as a major challenger to heavyweight champion George Foreman. Judge John Thomas gave Ali six points and Norton five on a scoring system in which the winner of a round gets one point and the loser none, with no points for an even round. Referee Dick Young scored it 7-5 for Ali, while judge George Latka gave it to Norton 6-5. The Associated Press scored NEW YORK (AP) The New York Jets traded wide receiver Don Maynard, the all-time leading receiver in professional football history, to the St.

Louis Cardinals Monday for an undisclosed draft choice. The 6-foot-l, 179-pounder, a 15-year veteran of the National and American Football Leagues, has 632 career receptions for 11,816 yards and 88 touchdowns. Asked for comment about the trade, Jets Coach Weeb Ew-bank said: "I consider myself fortunate to have been associated with Don for all these years. He has truly been one of the finest receivers in the history of the game. We hated to let him go, but we have some fine young receivers and could not afford to lose any of them at this stage of their development." Garlits sets speed mark SUFFOLK, Va?

Ali won the bout on a split decision, avenging his earlier loss to Norton. Norton broke Ali's jaw in their first meeting. it 6-5 for Norton. Thomas said after the fight that he had five points for each man going into the 12th and final round of the slam-bang duel at the Forum. Ali seemed to be in serious trouble in the 10th and 11th rounds when solid shots to the body by Norton turned the former heavyweight champion from a jabbing boxer into a flatfooted fighter who looked every one of his 31 years.

The 11th round was particularly grim for Ali as Norton landed five punishing shots to the body, especially a left hand that dug into the pit of Ali's stomach. But Ali was not to be denied. He kept his word that he would avenge one of the two losses he has suffered against 42 pro victories. The other defeat was to Joe Frazier in 1971. It was the loss to Norton in which he suffered a broken jaw last March 31 that was particularly galling to Ali.

INSURANCE REPLACEMENTS far Prompt, Efficient Service Call 245-6164 IIMITtn CI ACQ By TOM SEPPY WASHINGTON (AP) -Proponents of legislation to ban local blackouts of home pro football games easily overcame another hurdle Monday and moved within striking distance of having Sunday's National Football League openers on TV in some of the cities in which they are played. The House Communications subcommittee approved and sent to the full Commerce Committee a bill that would prohibit a local blackout if the game is sold out 72 hours in advance. The voice vote of approval came during a brief meeting of the subcommittee which held hearings on several bills during August and earlier this month. Representative James Collins, was the only dissenter of the five subcommittee members present. Under a timetable suggested by Rep.

Torbert H. Macdonald, subcommittee chairman and chief sponsor, the measure could be approved by Commerce Committee Tuesday, then reach the House floor either Wednesday or Thursday. Ali contended that he beat himself in the first Norton fight because he was out of shape-he weighed 221 then, compared to 212 for this fight. Ali worked hard and many observers said he was in the CHICAGO (AP) Dick Butkus, the Chicago Bears' superstar linebacker, sat out Sunday's final exhibition game with the Washington Redskins but Bear officials were quick to deny that Butkus wes seriously injured. "I'm as ready to play as I'll ever be for the opener," Butkus said.

The Bears open the regular National Football League season next Sunday against Dallas. El weaiiiaar win IT 2711 Minnesota Avenue The Senate gave its approval to similar legislation by a vote of 76-6 last week. In testimony last week, Pete Rozelle, NFL commissioner, said the league would not wait for the technical differences between the House and Senate versions to be ironed out and for President Nixon to sign the measure into law. If the Congress passed definitive legislation, Rozelle told the Macdonald committee, the NFL would lift the blackout. Rozelle also said some 12 of the 26 teams have their stadia sold out.

The bill in the Senate, sponsored by Sen. John 0. Pastore, and the House measure differ slightly but not enough, said Macdonald, to keep a conference committee of the two bodies from coming up with one single piece of legislation. The Pastore bill would prohibit blackouts of all sports events that are being televised, whether it is a national or local TV contract, if there is a sellout 72 hours in advance. It also would be only a one-year experiment to see what its impact on the sport would be.

The Macdonald measure would ban the blackout only on sports televised under a national TV contract. It also would be legislation under which the Federal Communications Commission would study the effects on pro sports and report to the Senate and, House Commerce Committees by April 15 each year. Originally, Macdonald's bill would have banned blackouts on games sold out 48 hours in advance but he tacked on an additional 24 hours because the Senate did at the request of the club owners. He also wanted to make the legislation a one-year experiment but changed his mind during the hearings.

John Roning, Big Sky commissioner, said under a new format this year the conference is selecting an offensive and defensive player of the week rather than a back and lineman of the week. He said this would give offensive linemen and fensive backs a better chance of being honored. Kekich fined for late arrival BOISE, Idaho (AP) A fleet running back who made an impressive debut and a veteran lineman were chosen as the Big Sky Conference players of the week Monday. Honored for their play in the opening game of the season were Marshall Brantley, Idaho running back, and Bill Kollar, who anchored Montana State's defensive line in its 42-7 victory over Idaho State. Kollar, who was selected as Big Sky lineman of the week several times in the past two years, was chosen for his record of eight tackles, four as up at the ball park until a half hour before game time.

Indians Manager Ken Aspro-monte said that Kekich was due at the ball park at 11 a.m., EDT, and since he didn't show up the fine was levied. Aspro-monte would not verify the amount of the fine. Kekich offered no further comment on the matter. CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland Indians pitcher Mike Kekich was fined an estimated $100 for showing up late for Sunday's doubleheader.

Rep. James G. O'Hara, chairman of the House special education subcommittee and the bill's chief sponsor, asked Chairman Carl Perkins, to withdraw his proposed legislation from the committee docket. O'Hara's bill would have permitted student-athletes to participate in international sports events without having to receive approval of their schools, the National Collegiate Athletic Association or the Amateur Athletic Union.

The measure would have prohibited any union, association, federation or other organization of amateur athletic clubs, schools, colleges or university from declaring any student-athlete ineligible for competing in international sports events-even if the event was not sanctioned by the organization. jllW Colonels hire 'Babe' McCarty SPORTING GOODS Department Manager ONE OF BILLINGS FINEST STORES HAS AN IMMEDIATE OPENING FOR A SPORTING GOODS DEPARTMENT MANAGER.
