The Ali Shuffle by Ali Houston '66 Drawing, c. 1966

This is a sketch on small piece of paper of a boxer with legs that appear to be moving back and forth quickly. There is a smaller sketch in the upper left corner of a study of calves/feet drawn in pen, in a walking position. On the back of the paper is boxing match information about 15 rounds between Cleveland Williams, the challenger, and an unknown (the name has been cut off). It also includes information about the match's ticket sales. Underneath this is a handwritten list that includes combing hair, drinking from bottle, and shadow boxing in robe.
