Williams Sports Olympic Gold
A&M Freshman Won Archery Medal
By LYNN KENNEDY
A bow, a full quiver of hand
made arrows and marksmanship
in the mythical Sherwood Forest
days would mean a sure tourna
ment win for a wicked lord, how
ever, to A&M’s John C. Williams
they mean Olympic gold.
John, a 20-year-old freshman
from Cranesville, Pa., won the
coveted archery gold medal at the
Olympic games on Sept. 10, 1972.
It climaxed 11 years of hard
practice and demanding qualify
ing rounds.
Williams is employed by the
Wing Archery Co. of Jackson
ville, and they will market an
original design bow that Williams
will autograph. “If they only sell
one, the royalties could exceed
$3,000,” he said. Williams re-
cives a salary and is allowed to
work whenever his schedule will
permit. The bow will be mar
keted in November.
John’s vocation and avocation
is archery—target and hunting.
He says he loves the sport as
long as he is doing well.
“I don’t really separate target
shooting and hunting. It is as
if one were the necessary prepa
ration for the other, or the prac
tice before the game in other
sports,” he said.
John makes his own arrows
with fins made of synthetics in
stead of the usual feathers. The
fins are attached to the shaft of
the arrow with gdue and are put
in a small vise for drying. His
equipment case looks similar to
a tenor saxophone case. He said,
“customs officials at Kennedy
International Airport were com
pletely baffled by it all. They
even made me assemble is before
they would believe it was really
a bow and arrow set. The size
of the cockpit would make a bow
a useless hijack weapon.”
To watch him assemble his bow
you might think it was any num-

Rice Blacks Upset
By The Associated Press
HOUSTON—Black players on
the Rice University football team
—apparently unhappy about the
dismissal of split end Edwin
Collins from the squad—declined
to comment on a meeting held
Wednesday.
New York Yankees without com
pensation.
Without compensation, Finley
said, “there will be court action.”
Collins was dismissed Tuesday
by Coach A1 Conover after Collins
cursed Conover.
Finley told The Associated
Press he “stunned” the Yankees
at an American League meeting
here Tuesday by denying them
permission to obtain Williams as
managerial successor to Ralph
Houk.
her of things. The modern bow
seems to resemble a three-pronged
radio antenna with a ship’s sex
tant attached to the middle. His
set is made up of a bow handle
with a brace of matching limbs
which are of 45-pound test and
49-pound test, respectively. The
limbs snap into the handle with
a dovetail joint for strength and
lightness. The assembled bow is
deceptively heavy but is perfectly
balanced.
Williams had a two-year hitch
with “Uncle Sam” in special
forces which gave him the oppor
tunity to shoot in exhibitions
around the world.
After Williams won his medal
his hometown named the street
he had lived on after him, John
Williams Ave.—the true tradition
of hometown boy makes good.
Williams finds time from his
studies to go hunting regularly
with deer season in full swing.
But he said “the weather has been
too warm to do much shooting.
In fact, I didn’t even see a deer
the three hours I sat in the
stand.”
Williams is a newlywed, having
only been married eight months
ago to a girl he met while com
peting in England. Her name is
Kim and she is from St. Alban,
England. She speaks with the
proper British accent and teases
John about being accident prone.
“He explained that just because
he dropped his field glasses when
the strap broke and he saw them
shatter just before they dis
appeared into a stream doesn’t
make him accident prone, she
said. Kim has archery experience
also but she says she doesn’t have
the passion for it that her hus
band has.
John gets time to practice with
the Brazos Bowmen Archery Club
which conducts an in-door league
at the Bryan Crockett Element
ary School.

Collins, who was the second
leading receiver in the South
west Conference last year, said
he apologized to Conover but the
coach would not allow him back
on the team. The cursing inci
dent occurred at Monday’s prac
tice.
Williams announced his resig
nation as Oakland manager Sun
day just after his A’s won the
World Series from the New York
Mets and reportedly was sewed
up to replace Houk, recently
signed as Detroit Tiger manager.
Black players met Tuesday
night in the room of guard
Cornelius Walker and again in
the girls’ gym before Wednes
day’s practice.
Finley said Yankee board
chairman George Steinbrenner
and president Gabe Paul asked
permission to talk to Williams
on the managerial post.
The blacks disbanded after 20
minutes, suited out and reported
for practice.
CHICAGO — Controversial
owner Charles O. Finley of the
world champion Oakland A’s
ignited a new controversy Wed
nesday by refusing to release
Manager Dick Williams to the
“I said ‘absolutely not’,” said
Finley. “They seemed stunned
and wanted to know why. I told
them as recently as two months
ago, I extended Dick Williams’
contract an additional year
through 1975 and rehired his
staff through next season.”
