12_CastlégarNews _ovcber, 1987 SPORTS Williams stays north VANCOUVER (CP) — Byron Williams will line up at wide receiver today at CNE Stadium in Toronto for the B.C. Lions rather than run pass patterns just down the freeway in Buffalo for the Indianapolis Colts. Williams made the decision this summer that he would not accept the opportunity to be a strikebreaker with the NFL's Colts. Like many players who attended NFL training camps and was released, Williams was offered $1,000 by the Colts to be available should the NFL players go on strike. When they did on Sept. 22, Williams was in the den of the Canadian Football League's Lions. “My main concern at the time was to try to establish myself in the game again after being cut,” Williams said Friday. “I felt comfortable coming up here because I had CASTLEGAR ADULT BADMINTON CLUB STARTING: Wednesday, October 7, 1987 JOIN USI PLACE: Selkirk College Gym DATES: Wednesday evenings 8:00-9:30 p.m. FEES: $50 from October to March or $3 per evening visitor fee. — Adults only — 16 years and over — Wear non-marking runners only — Beginners Welcome — Recreational and Competitive players FOR MORE INFORMATION PHONE BILL OR MAE AT 365-6531 J a ed An invitation from the Castlegar minton Club to join us for a Free Evening (OF BADMINTON!)

New York Giants and was a starter one season. Eventually he found his way to Indianapolis, but the speedster from Texas-Arlington was released in late August.

Ned “Armosr, Kevin Bowman and Jon Horton at one wide reciever spot before Williams staked claim to the position. The six-foot-two, 180-pound former sprinter has caught 12 passés for 260 yards and one touchdown in three starts. Williams said he would have found it difficult to be a strikebreaker in the NFL after his term with the Giants. “They offered me the money, but I don’t think it’s fair to the guys who work hard to make the team when someone else comes in,” he said. “They (the strikebreakers) don't pay dues and, for me, it wouldn't have been right. “The career of most players in the NFL is short and I think they should fight for what they think is right.” Williams has no regrets about missing out on the Super Bow! season of the Giants because he respects his former teammates. ADD SPICE The Lions hope Williams will spice up a bland offence Sunday against the Toronto Argonauts after B.C. came up flat last weekend and lost 35-20 to the Saskatchewan Rough- riders in Regina. “Byron Williams gives us the speed receiver we've wanted right fromm the start of training camp,” said B.C. head coach Don Matthews. “His ability to run the deep patterns helps stretch the defences.” Redskin recruits slotted against Cardinal regulars THE Hi ARROW MOTOR INN PUB PROUDLY PRESENTS .. . 2 LUNCHEON SHOWS EMMA PEEL Spy Shows, Theme Acts.

His team, which normally _ would be favored by at least a touchdown at home against the St. Louis Cardinals, will have to meet a St. Louis team that, despite the players’ strike, will have 13 of its regulars for todays game. The Redskins will have none of their regulars. “This is one of the bigger underdog situations I've ever heen jn,”, Gibbs said Friday after learning eight more Cardinals were among the 88 players who crossed the union picket lines Friday. “Nothing against our guys, but every time you look out there and see Roy Green, who's burned us so many times, you worry a little.” The influx Friday, the final day a player could report and still get paid, brought to 86 — out of more than 1,260 players — the number who have crossed union lines since the strike started Sept. 22. That still left 12 teams with no regular players and several others with only one or two injured-reserve play. ers who crossed picket lines to receive treatment. INCL! REGULARS But the St. Louis strike team, for example, now has 13 regulars.
