Page 10 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1975 Dissatisfied with contract Baltimore lineman challenges Rozelle rule MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pro football lineman John McKay Wil liams testified Tuesday that the Bal timore Colts were demanding ridiculous terms when he asked to be traded. Testifying in U.S. District Court in a challenge to the National Foot ball League’s Rozelle Rule, Wil liams said his agent. Bob Wolff, told him the Colts sought two first-round draft choices in any trade involving him. Williams, now an offensive guard-tackle with the Los Angeles Rams, is one of 16 current or former NFL players suing the league, Commissioner Pete Rozelle and club owners. The plaintiffs contend the rule violates the Sherman Antitrust Act and empowers club owners to un fairly hold players in “bondage.” The commissioner has authority to dictate compensation to a club losing a player when two teams can not agree to terms. Williams, who played with the University of Minnesota, signed a three-year pact with Baltimore as a first-round draft choice in 1968. Williams said the contract called for $24,000, $26,000 and $28,000 plus a signing bonus of $50,000. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound lineman said Colts official Don Klosterman proposed a new pact of “something like” $31,000, $33,000 and $35,000 with no bonus for the 1971-73 sea sons. But Williams declined. “I felt I was worth more, and that was unac ceptable to me,” he said. Williams could not work out a contract with Baltimore owner Car- roll Rosenbloom and played out his option year in 1971 at a 10 percent cut from his 1970 pay. Williams said Wolff did most of the negotiating for him in 1971 and 1972 but reported frustrations in trying to arrange a new agreement with the Colts or a trade when Wil liams became a free agent. The New England Patriots were willing to pay $45,000 each year of a two-year contract, plus an $11,000 bonus, Williams said, but he quoted Wolff as saying: “The Cojts were asking for ridiculous compensation and the Patriots couldn’t come up with it. Williams said he understood the compensation to be two first-round draft picks. Rosenbloom left the Colts and acquired the Los Angeles Rams in 1972. Klosterman joined him there, and within weeks Williams went to the Rams for a first-round draft choice. Williams testified that Kloster man asked him at Los Angeles, “Why do you think we didn’t sign you at Baltimore? We wanted you here." Williams said he signed for 1972-74 at $38,000, $40,000 and $42,000 with a $10,000 bonus. nocif mmrs mcm roue*. ~ 0mt § mtrfnktft kpmmtM «• a# mt mm it fnm. -Wim m m kmtJ * tmmm t fnm.
