TEMPE, Ariz, ~ If you think
athletes who excel in track are

high strung, you haven~t met Ulis}

Williams.

This likeable 6-1, 165-pound
Arizona State University sophomore, like Old Man River, just
keeps rolling along to better and
' better times in the 440-yard
dash. He doesn~t get worked up
about it, and doesn~t seem to
think his marks to date are anything. special. ~

ULIS WILLIAMS

~I think I can break the world
record in the 440~ he says after
some thought on_ the subject.
When? ~Maybe at one of the
AAU meets. I~m taking my time
working into top shape and will
be ready for a record go soon.~

While Williams is taking his
time he has posted the: second
fastest ~440 time in the nation
this year (46.4) and has added
several. scorching anchor -legs
on ASU~s talented mile relay
team, including one clocking of
40.4.

When ASU~s mile relay team
set the world record of 3:05.5
last weekend in the Mount San
Antonio College Relays at Walnut, Calif., Williams viewed the
feat in typical fashion. ~We'll do
better later on,~ he /said.

The stories about~ Ulis. go on
and on. For instanse, he has a
car that is the rage of the Sun
Devil campus It~s a dark~ blue
1948 Plymouth and its internal
combustion is more often external. ~E call. her ~Old Lizzie,~
says a beaming and quite proud
Ulis. ~Best buy I ever made.
Only cost $100.~

~Ulis is a sports car enthusiast,~ needles ASU track coach
Baldy Castillo. This sets Williams off on a tirade concerning
the numerous trips he and ~Old

and his senior year went on to

tion. He was a member. of the

squad at Palo Alto, Calif.; and
hopes to. be a member of the
team that goes to Moscow this
summer. He also toured the Scandinavian countries -with, a United States aggregation last summer.

Williams popularity with youngSters was quite in evidence. He
was forever -being besieged: by
autograph seekers; and junior |
high.and high. school athletes
barraged him with questions.

work, in recreation, teaching athletics, possibly with the: YMCA,~
he said.

He yearns to do something that
thus far has escaped him. He
wants to swim. ~Swimming looks
like great fun and good exer
hometown.

Another trademark concerns

Ulis~ clothes. He~s a bug on the}.

latest college fashions, and will
Scrimp and save in order to buy
the latest continental or Ivy league sports jacket. ~

And then there~s Williams~
most prominent trademark~his
glasses. His eyes are weak and
his glasses thick, which result
in myriad stories concerning his
vision, and lack of same. The
stories are topped by the ones
about his running into a palm
tree during a touch football
game and standing behind a pillar in the cafeteria: waiting for
the line to move. They are told
with considerable hilarity by Ulis~ fellow Californian and team
~I take a lot of ribbing about
my eyesight,~ Ulis admits, ~but
{ don~t mind. It~s all in good fun,
and L can~ dish it out myself,
you know.~

Ulis~ one and only avocation
is running. As a sophomore in
high -school at Compton he ran
the quarter,in 51.2. A year later he dropped the-time to 47.2

post a 46.1, an interscholastic
record. As a freshman at ASU
Ulis ran a 45.9, and in an AAU
meet ran 45.8 fastest in the
world ~last year.

Honors won by Ulis are many.
He was named Amateur Athlete of the Year in Arizona by
the Phoenix Pressbox: Associa

It seems odd: to hear Ulis

PITTSBURGH ~ What about
Bob ~Ferguson, the Pittsburgh
Steelers~ No. 1 draft choice for
the 1962 season, from whom little
was heard in his rookie year?
Bob tede the bench while veteran John Henry Johnson had
his finest season, gaining 1,141
yards. Steeler Coach Buddy Parker thinks things will look up
for the former Ohio State AllAmerican. in ~63.:

~Ferguson was too good a
college~ player not to improve
over his first year,~ Buddy says.
~He had a series of small injuriés,- nothing really major but
serious enough to keep him sidelined. This kept him from getting into the spirit of the game.
Now he had a year to know the
other fellows on the team and
should. be more confident.~
