United Press International
f NEW YORK — Following
Wednesday’s arrival of Secretary
of Labor Raymond Donovan, ma
jor-league players today are await
ing at least one new proposal from
the owners aimed at ending the
baseball strike, which entered its
35th day.
Negotiations continued into
Wednesday evening before both
isides announced a recess until
10:30 a.m. EDT today. Donovan
flew from Washington to New
York to admonish the negotiators
..and speed up talks in an effort to
Beach an agreement on the thorny
issue of compensation for premier
free agents.
Donovan indicated the talks
were growing more “serious” and
^federal mediator Kenneth Mof
fett, appearing haggard after near
ly five hours of work, refused to
Shed light on what had taken place
in the session, which lasted past 7
p.m. EDT.
I The players were angry and
frustrated after the latest round of
negotiations.
I “I’m upset right now,” said Na-
tional League player representa
tive Bob Boone. "I expected much
more from the ownership side to
day and we got nothing. I hope we
get something tomorrow.
“They told us today they would
have a proposal for us tomorrow at
10:30.”
Baltimore Orioles’ representa
tive Mark Belanger, saying he is
“probably just as mad” as Boone,
hinted the owners may offer more
than a single proposal.
“I expect a proposal tomorrow
or several, ” Belanger said. “I hope
there is one, or two or three or
four.”
Belanger’s Orioles teammate,
American League representative
Doug DeCinces, was also dis
appointed with Wednesday’s
talks.
“I’m very upset and that’s put
ting it mildly,” he said.
Moffett, who never referred to a
possible new owners’ proposal, is
still playing it close to the vest.
“I know I’ve used a lot of weasel
words,” Moffett said, “but it’s a
way of avoiding saying anything
controversial. There’s not much to
report. We re continuing negotia
tions. ”
When asked if the next bargain
ing session could prove the most
crucial, Moffett replied, “No, it’s
just another day in the strike.”
After conducting three meet
ings — one with players, one with
management and a third jointly —
Donovan returned to Washington
without indicating whether the
federal administration would have
any further participation in the
dispute.
Upon his return to Washington,
Donovan said he thought the
negotiations were substantive.
“There is some room for optim
ism,” the labor secretary said.
“What I can tell you is we re ex
cited about the fact that they’re
back talking in a very serious way.
Collective bargaining is the key to
this process as it is with all of these
disputes. The fact that they’re
back in serious — I mean serious
— negotiations, I think the coun
try should be encouraged.
The Reagan administration has
refrained from entering the dis
cussions on the grounds that they
are matters to be decided at the
bargaining table.
Earl Cox, special assistant to
Donovan, said the White House
was being kept abreast of develop
ments.
He said part of the reason for
Donovan’s participation in the
talks was to “express the voice of
the American people.”
New strength
coach named
Dave Williams has joined the Texas A&M athletic department as
strength and conditioning coach it was announced Wednesday.
Williams replaces Mike Flynt who resigned recently to enter
private business.
Williams, 34, comes from the University of Alabama where he
served as assistant strength coach. He took over his duties at Texas
A&M July 1.
“I’m very impressed with the athletic facilities at Texas A&M. It
was common knowledge among the members of the National
Strength and Conditioning Association that A&M’s facilities were
among the very best in the country,” Williams said.
Williams said his goal at Texas A&M is total conditioning, not just
strength alone.
“I want to develop functional strength for each sport which in
cludes raw strength, power, muscular development and flexibility of
strength,” he said.
Williams hails from Charleston, W. Va. where he played guard
both ways in football at South Charleston High. He played offensive
guard and defensive tackle for Fairmont State College where he was
named to the AP Little All-America and NAIA All-America teams.
He was also listed among Who’s Who in American Colleges and
Universities and was named to several academic honor societies.
Following his graduation with a degree in biology-physical educa
tion he spent three years in the Army in Korea. He was a teacher-
coach and fitness director before going to Alabama in 1980.
He and his wife, Linda Lee, have two daughters, Shelley Beth, 4,
and Amanda Lee, 2.
Athletic Director Marvin Tate said that he was pleased to have a
man with Williams’ background and experience in strength and
conditioning working for Texas A&M.

845-2611 :
Super Derby II
plans underway
United Press International
I BOSSIER CITY, La. — Twen
ty-nine of the nation’s leading
thoroughbreds have been invited
to run in Louisiana Downs’
$500,000 Super Derby II, the na
tion’s richest race for 3year-olds,
on Sept. 26, track officials said.
j| “This year the 3-year-old crop
is more diversified than last year, ”
Downs president and general
manager Vincent Bartimo told a
news conference Wednesday. “So
the potential for a great race is
better.”
| Super Derby I last year was
won by Temperence Hill, who
fniished the year with earnings of
more than $1.1 million and an
Eclipse Award as the nation’s top
sophomore.
Heading the invitation list for
Super Derby II are Pleasant Col
ony, winner of the Wood Memo
rial, Kentucky Derby and
Preakness; Lord Avie, 2-yearold
champion and winner of the Flor
ida Derby at three before being
sidelined by an injury; Arkansas
Derby winner and Preakness run-
nerup Bold Ego; and Pocket Zip
per, winner of the American Der
by and Fairmount Derby.
“This list is made up of 29
horses whose owners and trainers
have told us they want to run in
Super Derby II,” Bartimo said.
“On Sept. 2, we will pick 14 final
invitees and six alternates, de
pending on what happens to these
horses between now and then.”
Bartimo acknowledged the
track came in for criticism with
Super Derby I last year. But he
blamed it on a late start.
“Last year we announced the
race in June, and most trainers
had already planned out their fall
campaigns,” Bartimo said. “This
year, everybody in the industry
knew the race would be run in
September.”
He said last year the Downs
had to call trainers for horses. This
year the trainers are calling the
Downs.
“All of these owners and train
ers have been notified of their
horses’ invitations to the race,”
said Downs director Robert Aiel
lo. “All have committed to us, pro
vided their horses are fit.”
Bartimo said the track should
see its first $4 million handle on
Derby day if the weather is good.
