PAGE TEN Now One of the Best End of Rope Climbing Signaled Beginning on Rings for Williams By JOE GRATA Three years ago State gym nast George (Bud) Williams couldn't execute a fundamen tally simple handstand on the still rings. Today he's a spe cialist in the event. The compact, blond-haired Wil liams managed a second place finish in the Easterns last season, finishing as runner-up only to now former teammate - Greg Weiss, Currently he's the Lions' No. 1 competitor on the still rings and a favorite of Nittany enthu siasts. Williams' story, one long in the making but brief in principle, began following the 1961 season when rope climbing was dropped from intercollegiate dual-meet competition. AS A SOPHOMORE, he per formed in the rope climb for State coach Gene Wettstone's NCAA championship squa d. When college officials voted to dismiss the event from-their gym program, Williams' career looked like it had come to an abrupt end. But Williams soon discovered the move ,effected him only as the proverbial "end of the be ginning." During the summer of 1961, Wettstone gave Williams a set of still rings to take to his home in St. Marys. The aggressive State gymnast set about the impossible —or almost impossible—task of mastering the event. And to make things more difficult, Williams installed the rings in his base ment. All summer' an eager and dili gent Bud Williams pursued his goal. He combined a weight-lift ing program along with his self supervised training on the rings. HIS FIRST goal was to learn the handstand. With the rings hanging to the floor and his small 5-6 frame stretched to its maximum, Williams cleared the cellar ceiling by not more * than six inches. Hampered by the lack of space, he persuaded officials at the local high school to let him workout in the school's gymnasium during the summer months. Last year one of the most im pressed by Williams' progress way Wettstone. "His sheer desire to make and be part of the team helped him to conquer the still rings," Wett st one remarked recently. "He spent many hours trying to win a position. Not only did he win the position but placed second in the EIGL Tourney last year." THIS YEAR Williams contin ues to be a great asset to a Lion squad which currently sports two wins against no losses. According to Slate's veteran coach Weft stone, Williams has the "intelli gence, desire and right 'type of body" to be the next Easterns champion in the still rings event. In the latest State performance —a 55-41 winning effort over Temple—Williams captured indi vidual honors on the still rings wtih a 96.5 score. M==== RADIO' HONO ..;.- ...
