Teenager Sets Lift Records
Ken Patera
Sets Two
New Marks
By LLOYD E. MILLEGAN
Of Iht Reflater-Guard
A weighlifter's peak years
eome between his 30th and 35th
birthdays.
But, it was a 240-pound 19-year-old
college freshman who
atole the spotlight Sunday in
the Oregon State AAU Weight
lifting Championships held in
the Pioneer building of the Lane
County Fairgrounds,
i Ken Patera, a Portland State
student, awed a standing-room
only crowd estimated at over
500, by shattering all Oregon
heavyweight records with a
three-lift total of 860 pounds.
. His lift of 280 pounds in the
military press established a new
Pacific Northwest standard, and
an effort of 250 pounds in the
two-hand snatch broke a state
record that had stood since
1939.
"I've done better in practice
iu to 20
each of the
mented the bespectacled, soft-
spoken, ex-Cleveland High shot
putter who has been lifting for
only two years.
Just like New York Univer
sity's Gary Gubner who lifted a
world record age group total of
400 pounds in the military press
as a 19-year-old, Patera is better
known for his track exploits.'
In 1961 he placed second in
the shot put to North Eugene's
Bob Graham in the state A-l
prep track meet. And already
this year, he has bests of 54 feet
in the shot and 155 in the dis
cus, and hopes to be well past
the 56-foot mark before the sea
son ends.
Runnerup to Patera was de

Santa Clara
AAU Victor
CLEVELAND OB The power
ful Santa Clara, Calif., Swim
Club left a trail of shattered
records behind as it captured
the women's national AAU in
door swimming championships.
The Santa Clara mermaids,
coached by George Maines, won
eight of 13 swimming events in
the four-day swimming and div
ing championships and set five
American records, rolling up a
total of 113 Vi points.
Altogether, eight American
records were set and another
was equalled.
Standout on the Santa Clara
squad was Donna De Varona
blue-eyed miss not quite 16 who
set three individual American
marks and was on two record-
setting relay teams the 400
yard freestyle and 400-yard med
ley relay teams.
She set records in capturing
the 200-yard and 400-yard indi
vidual medley in times of 2:15
and 4:47.3.
Oddly enough, the backstroker
failed to win the 100-yard back
stroke event but apparently her
time for that distance will go
into the books as a record. Miss
De Varona swam the 100 in
1:02.1, an American record, on
the first leg of the 400-yard
medley relay Thursday.
But Sunday, Nina Harmar of
Philadelphia, edged Miss De Va
rona in the 100-yard backstroke
finals, finishing in 1:02.6, also
under the recognized American
record of 1:03.
fending champion Hacry D.
Proudfoot of Eugene, a fourth
year political science major at
the University of Oregon.
Proudfoot, in his third year
of competition, and who plans
to go into the diplomatic service
after graduation, had a three
lift total of 750 pounds.
That the championships, held
in conjunction with the Eugene
Lions Club Home and Sports
Show, drew the largest crowd
ever to watch an Olympic style
weightlifting match in the state
of Oregon, was the observation
of several of the meet officials.
"It was a tremendous exhibi
tion of strength," commented
Cecil Phillips, manager of a
local health club and holder of
many weightlifting and phy
sique titles himself. "It's been
a long time since a crowd like
this has shown up to see a
weightlifting match in Oregon."
Another outstanding exhibi
tion was put on by Pat O'Shea
wearing the colors of the Michi
gan State Weightlifting club
and twice National Collegiate
Athletic Assn. (NCAA) runner
up in the 198 pound class.
O'Shea, now a physical educa
tion instructor at Oregon State,
had a three lift total of 810
pounds matching Patera's 250
pound record effort in the two
hand snatch.
Oldest of the competitors was
Multnomah Athletic Club's Nick
Manley, who is 33 and has been
competing since 1947. Tied for
the lead in the 198 pound class,
going into the final lift the
clean and jerk he had his
glasses slip off and ruin his ef
fort and bid for the title as he
was attempting to put 285
pounds above his head.
"Concentration and form are
very important in this sport
And the slightest movement or
distraction or noise can ruin a
lift." he said afterwards.
The ladies, though, seemed to
get the biggest kick out of the
Mr. Oregon physique contest
which was won by Portland's
Orian Wiese And the trophy
was an impressive one 33-36
inches high.
"Aren't they beautiful," com
mented one elderly lady. "They
look like greek gods just like
in the magazines."
