His style called for him to soften up a foe with body blows and then put him away with a hook that could come from anywhere.

Marvis is a standup workman quick and sharp with a snapping left and a right that can almost tear a head from its moorings. "My dad had to fight that way because most of his opponents were taller," the youngster rationalized. "He had to adjust. I am taller than most of the people I fight. It's up to them to adjust." Boxing two years, Marvis has piled up a 30-0 amateur record, with 17 kayoes.

He recently won the National Golden Gloves title that qualifies him for the Pan Am Games in Puerto Rico in July. MARVIS was at ringside for all of his father's fights after the second Oscar Bonav-ena bout in December 1968, including the great battles with Muhammad Ali. He never dreamed some day he would be entering the ring himself. "When I was a small kid all I wanted to be was a space man or a doctor," he said. "I didn't want my pretty face messed up.

"How about Marvis sitting on Joe's lap?" the photographer suggested. "No lap," snapped Smo-kin" Joe Frazier.

Nobody argued. It looked just as good to have father and son perched on the arm of a chair, comparing clinched fists. "Look," said Joe, looking toward his offspring, "his fist is bigger than mine. He can punch with It, too." Marvis Frazier, 18, Golden Cloves heavyweight boxing champion of the United States and aspirant to a gold medal in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, beamed. THE FRAZIERS rode one of the family Cadillacs up from Philadelphia to appear on NBC's Today show, promoting the Oiympathon, a grass roots fund-raising drive for next year's U.S.

(AP) The lecture circuit Is enough these days for Al McGuire, who sees no urgency in seeking more permanent employment. The colorful former Marquette University basketball coach need not apply for food stamps. A Milwaukee sports equipment manufacturer has retained him as a 100,000 a year consultant, and he earns an estimated $80,000 to $125,000 a year as a sportscaster for NBC. McGuire, who has said he will never coach again, disclosed recently he has had preliminary talks with three National Basketball Association teams about positions not yet clearly defined. "New York, New Orleans and Chicago all made some kind of entrees, but I really haven't sat down with anyone in the pros for any serious discussion," he said.

In the meantime, McGuire commands a hefty retainer as a speaker, and Is in heavy demand. "I am an entertainer," McGuire I blew a national championship before 42 million people five years ago," he said. "When the game was over, (Marquette center) Maurice Lucas told me, 'Coach, you blew that I said, 'Maurice, you've come a long way, and you wouldn't be here without me. I'll come "Then two years ago we did come back. We won a national championship.

That was entertainment," he said. 4270 VAN DK (lVh No Baaainq No Raking BERKLEY 2750 12 Mill CooM() 398-4577 48270 VAN DYKE MMd) SAVE $50 31658 JOHN R.
