Ali's comments draw suit threat, Jewish reaction
NEW ORLEANS (UPI) - A promoter of last week's Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight yesterday threatened Ali with a $16 million slander suit, and a national Jewish organization urged Ali to come up with what it called an attack on the committee he made in news conference Monday.
during their news conference had been called for AAI's weak about bickering among the promoters, which he said had been racially proptivated.
motVated:
"We plan to sue Ali for $10 million in federal court," said Jake DiMaggio, a partner in Louisiana Sports Inc., a New York firm that worked with Top Rank Inc. of New York to plan the championship match in which Ali regained his World Boxing Association heavyweight title from Souka.

DIMAGGIO ALSO said comedian and activist Dick Gregory and former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier would
be sued for $5 million each because they appear to have hit at the news conference filmed by the press.
A rift between four stockholders in Louisiana Sports developed Saturday, the day after the fight. Dibm Management, a leading sponsor and LSI officer, said in a civil court suit that two other LSI partners and a member of the Top Rank organization skimmed $1 million from the company.
THAT SUIT was dropped Monday and the events leading to it were described as munderstandings in a statement released by DiMaggio during the news conference.
During the same news conference, Allacci disputed Dmaggio and Ciacolo, both white, of trying to discredit their black partners, Richard Harbard, and Too Rank associate Buch Lewis.
"That must hurt so many bigots, for these nices to get on out top," All said.

Jayhawks take volleyball opener
By KEN DAVIS
Blending fine passing, blocking and serving, the University of Kansas volleyball team won its first match of the season last week at Highland Junior College, 19-8 and 14-1 at Highland Junior College.
BY RENDAVIE Sports Writer
KU, which has been working on individual fundamentals rather than teamwork in practices so far, put together a strong team effort on the road to victory.
"We played really well, particularly of-
fensively," KU head coach Bob Stancill
said. "Our blocking and passing was a whole lot better."
It was sweet revenge for the Jayhawks, who lost to Missouri Western last year, 9-15, 15-12 and 11-15. Missouri Western went on to finish in the top five of the small college
But it was the serving by the Jayhawks that kept Missouri Western off balance in the playoffs.
