Odd Williams played for the vaunted Kansas University Jayhawk Basketball team during the season of 1944-1945. WWII ended just a few months at the end of that season. His coach was Phog Allen who they named the vaunted basketball venue after. For several years now there is a large banner at the south end of the stadium that reads "Beware of the Phog". Allen Field House is considered to be one the greatest venues in all of NCAA college basketball. Although not a starter he is best known for having a perfect record from the free throw line. He shot 4-4 during his one season with the team.
