this is the subject of an inter
view that should bring an unher

deserved recognition.
"Yes, I usually have to train
the year around,” said the quiet
and friendly wr suing coach, and
that was enough to indicate the
gnat determination and will
power that this man has shown
for the past eight years.
After finishing high school at
Sandy, Oregon, in 1952, I>ee Al
len started his college life at
Portland State, and his freshman
year he' took a first place trophy
at the Far West A.A.U. meet.
This very modest gentleman
has plodded on to gain 10 more
first place titles that are part of
his eight-year record in various
regional meets. These meets have
included men from almost every
state west of the Rocky Mount
ains. and these Include competi
tors over an eight year span.
Three firsts in the National
A.A.U. meets of 1854, 1957, and
1960 extend his span of domin
ation over the w*hole United
States, and of course the fact
that he represented the nation in
the'Olympics in ’56 and ’60 is
worthy of worldwide praise.

Allen wrestled in the Greco-Ro
man Olympic style and finished
eighth in the world. In ’56 he
used the Olympic free style but
did not reach the quarterfinals.
After two years at Portland
State, Allen was out of school
for a year, but this did not keep
him from his beloved sport. The
Multnomah Athletic Club be
came his training ground where
he prepared for the 1956 Olympic
competition with the Olympic
styles --Greco-Roman and free
style. Since free style was simi
lar to the style which he used
for two years in college wrest
ling. he decided to enter the Far
West A.A.U. meet at Oakland,
Calif.- to see if his free style ex
perience would pay off. The flas

In the fall o' '57 Allen came

O'Brien Slated
For Indoor Meet
Parry O’Brien, an "old pro" of
the track world, will be on hand
to compete in the Oregon Invita
tional track meet in Portland
Saturday night.
O'Brien will always be best
known as the man who broke the
60 foot “barrier” in the shot-put.
3 Brien has garnered two gold
medals and one silver in Olympic
com petition. He won his event,
the shot-put, in the 1952 and
1956 games and came in second
to Bill Nieder at Rome last year.
Most shot-putters don’t like
O'Brien. He has been known to
use a strange technique to try
and “psych out" his opponents.
In this technique, Parry complet
ely ignores his competitors in the
shot-put. He gives them the cold
shoulder.
Should an opponent get off a
good heave, O'Brien would just
look a little bored as if he could
do much better without trying.
O’Brien revolutionized shdt
putting when he came up with
his new form, the athlete faces
away from the field in a crouch,
then lunges forward and spina
before releasing the shot.
Although Parry O'Brien is
( probably past his peak, he is still
a great performer and will give
plenty of trouble to his competi
1 tors at Portland Saturday.
