World heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali sits in his room on his arrival in Houston, Feb. 20, 1967. The champ was silent on his thoughts about his draft status referring all questions to his New York attorney. The Houston Selective Service appeals board refused his appeal for a deferment. He was trying for a deferment on grounds that he is a Muslim minister. Ali starts training tomorrow for his title defense against Zora Folley on March 22 in New York. (AP Photo/Ed Kolenovsky)
