LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Ken Norton, defeated in his two attempts to win the heavyweight title in the ring, Wednesday became the "paper champion" of the world when he received the World Boxing Council's official championship belt.
Norton becomes 'paper champ'
The 32-year-old former Marine corporal, who lost title bushes to George Foreman in 1974 and to Muhammad Ali in 1978, was presented the WBC's belt at ceremonies at the police department's Hollenbeck youth gym in the neighborhood where he lives.
Norton shares the heavyweight title with Leon Spinks, who upset All for the championship in Las Vegas last Feb. 15. Spinks is still recognized champion by the rival World Boxing Association and New York state, as well as by most boxing fans.
The WBC stipped Spinks of its version of the crown on March 18 and awarded it to Norton, the No. 1 contender, when Spinks refused to live up to an alleged agreement to make his first title defense against Norton. He instead forged a $2 million rematch with Ali.
There was no announcement at the crowning ceremony of who Norton's first opponent would be, but the WBC champ said he hoped to defend his title in May or June and Holmes, who won a 30-round decision from Cain Shawres in Las Vegas, Nov. 25, March 1.
Norton, former Marine Corps champion who turned pro in 1967, was presented a green belt with a gold-colored medallion by the World Champion, World Boxing Council."
"I'm very grateful and I want to thank all those who have helped me," said Norton in brief remarks to the crowd of about 500 spectators and members of the news media. "I hope to have a fight in May or June with Larry Holmes."
Solid pitching and several key hits enabled the University of Kansas baseball team to sweep a doubleheader yesterday. With 8-2 and 3-2 in the two games at Quail Field, FYI
Strong hitting, pitching pace baseball attack
Starting pitches Clay Christiansen and Rick Bogan both picked up their first victories of the season. Christiansen pitched a complete game in the opening, while Bogan combined with Dan St. Clair and Terry Sutlife in the second game for a one hitter. Benedictine did not score one earned run in either game.
The Jayhawks' record jumped to 9-4-1 on the year while Benedictine's record dropped to 10-8. The Jayhawks next game is 1:30 at home against Fort Hays State University.

But the right-handed pitcher settled down for the rest of the game, allowing only five more hits. He also walked just one more batter.
two other players also broke out of early season slums in the first game.
"Clay started out a little rusty, but he came back and did a good job. He needed it for his confidence," head coach Floyd Temple said.
CHRISTIANSEN STARTED looking as if he might not finish the first time. He hit three of the first five battles he faced and committed a throwing error after fielding a slow roller down its two base line. Basketline scored its two runs in the first time.
"It's good to hit the ball in a game like that. On our trip Island I didn't hit so well, so I'm glad I was making contact today," Wright said.
GOING INTO the doubleheader, designated hitter Scott Wright and catcher Aldmil Gronkowski both batting under 160. He drives in all six of KU's rays in the first game.
Weight, a sophoraone, had a single and a
single set of three at bats, driving in four of
KU's runs.
Gilmore scored KU's first run in the game when he homered over the right-center field fence in the third inning. It was his first fire home his season; last year he hit five.
"ANDY'S good hitter and I knew he could break out of his slow start," Temple said after the first game. "We athered his shots, but it looks like the change may have helped."
In the next inning, Gilmore singled home the tiving run.
Coach Temple moved Gilmore to the designated hit spot in the second game. The senior finished the day with three hits in four at bats, three RBI's and two walks.
Also in the first game, freshman Steve Jevitz reached base each time he came to bat, on two singles and a walk. But each time he was stranded on base when he

two runs in the fifth on two Jayhawk errors. Pitcher Bogdan worked his way out of the inning on a sacrifice fly and a force-out at third. He was able to score an no-hitter hit. An infield hit broke it up.
THE FOLLOWING inning, KU scored another run when catcher Dan Graham scored on a single by Gilmore. Then in the fourth, Monty Martin doubled and scored on Graham's single to left, giving KU a 3-0 lead.
In the sixth inmining, another Benedictine runner reached base on a KU error. Temple then inserted St. Clair at pitcher who struck next two battles to end the scoring threat.
In the second game KU jumped out to the lead in the second imminent Gilmore walked to start if off. Freshman Brian Grey, batting fifth in the line-up, then smashed a linedeave double that hit the fence on the fly to score Gilmore.
teammates could not advance him past third.
In the final inning, Sutcliffe took the mound and put Benedict on the order in on-deck territory.

Sutcliffe was credited with a save while
Sulaiman said Norton was the No. 1 contender and was awarded the crown on Friday.
Jose Sulaiman, president of the WBC,
defended the WBC's decision to strip the title from Spinks and award it to Norton in a lengthy statement.
"There must be a law in boxing," said
the game went to Bogdan.
COACH TEMPEL was pleased with his team's performance. "We weren't real sharp today, but that comes from not playing in 10 days. It's real tough to have to play 12 games in 10 days and then have this long of a law off," he explained.
KU had four doubleheaders canceled because of wet grounds after returning from Texas and Oklahoma where it played in a tournament over spring break.
