At the start of the third round, Madigan countries are expected to send up to six athletes each to the Sherbrooke meet. They will compete in tricks, slalom and jumping. In the slalom, ach skier starts off on a 16-foot rope behind a boat travelling 32 miles an hour, After each suc- cessful sweep through the buoys, the speed is increased and the rope shortened. One fall and you're out. The jumping is even more hair - raising. The skier reaches about 55 miles an hour as he or she sweeps out from behind the boat and heads for the ramp. The mar- gin between a perfect take- off and a crunching impact against the side is two inches. RECORD 150 FEET Since competition began in 1949 the men's record has gone from 67 feet to 150 feet; the women have stretched their distance from 47 feet to 102. In the trick event, each skier has 20 seconds on the outward leg and 20 seconds coming back. He must sand- wich as many tricks as pos- sible--and he has hundreds from which to choose--into that 40 seconds. There have been eight team championships held since 1949 and the U.S. has won them all.

It could have either way. "Frankly, I liked Clay. I talk- ed to him a lot before and after both of our bouts. He had a sense of humor and a quick wit, but even then he had a tremen- dous ego. Cassius had solid con- fidence in his own ability, and I'm sure he thought he'd be the world champion from the time his career started." In 1963, promoters in Sydney, Australia, tried to talk Madigan into turning pro so they could pair him with Clay for another match. He refused. Madigan was born in Sydney in 1930. He was a first rate rugby player and a skillful ski- er, swimmer, and shooter. Articulate and ruggedly handsome, when talking to him, one might peg Madigan as a college professor instead of a former boxer. "My father, who was a real boxing buff, died when I was in my early teens," said Madi- gan. "I might have given up boxing then had I not run into former Australian professional Hughie Dwyer. When I finished school, Dwyer wanted me to turn pro. But I refused. Too many boxers wind up broke, or punchy, or both." Madigan had his sights set on the 1952 Olympic Games in Hel- sinki. He won the Australian amateur light - heavyweight title in 1952 and made the Hel- sinkt team, but was beaten in the quarter-finals.
