Miss Evert, rated by many experts as unbeatable when the tournament began last week, was the least convincing of the quarterfinal winners.

Her victory over Miss Stove was laboriously put together and at one stage she looked in danger of defeat. The Dutch woman, tall and with a long reach, played much more aggressive tennis and went far more confidently to the net in the opening set. The so-called ice maiden from Florida, who usually shoots so accurately from the baseline, passed her opponent only four times in the whole match. Miss Stove played above her usual standard. After winning the first set, she came back from a 5-2 deficit and tied the match 5-5 in the second.

And Miss Evert looked on shaky ground. Her forehands were going into the net and she seemed scared to go forward. Cracked But just as Miss Stove came in sight of victory, her game completely folded.

Five-year veteran John Walton will be the starting quarterback but his job will face a new challenger Tuesday morning because of another deal by the WFL club announced Monday.

Gary Val Buena, who backed up Tony Adams at Southern California last season, was obtained in a straight player swap for running back Paul Miles. Miles had been running strong for a starting berth with the Wings, but Moss feels that the 6-foot, 190-pound former Bowling Green star, will be better fitted for the I-formation attack at Anaheim.

Ali set the pattern for the fight in the very first round when he came out flat-footed and shooting for head. It was a pattern he was to effectively continue throughout although after six rounds the fight was about even.

Then, in the seventh round, Ali began taking charge. He landed with a good hook, some other punches to the head, a few shots to the body and ended the round with a looping left to the head. In the eighth and nine rounds, it was more of the same as Ali got some head shots past peek- a-boo defense. Ali waded in. with both hands to his side during these rounds, daring the challenger to jab him.

No right One of most glaring weaknesses was an almost complete lack of a right hand attack. Both men held up well in the typical muggy heat of a Malaysian morning, but in the last three rounds Ali seemed to have much more left than did his younger challenger. Ali did suffer a slight cut above the left eye in the 13th round, but he had Bugner holding on at the bell when he landed a hard left hook to, the head. Ali did not even seem bothered by the slight cut.
