HI-PROTEEN

(Continued from page 55)

The Argentinians live way down on the tip of South America where the seasons are exactly opposite to ours. They had several advantages; one being that fact that it was the end of their summer season. Their teams were seasoned by months of competition; their rowing, track, baseball and cycling teams had an advantage. Our fellows were just starting to train at the end of February in the states. The Argentina team arrived in Mexico City February 16, our fellows in large measure March fifth, 17 days later, but many of our team arrived as late as the 11th, four weeks after the Argentinians, and were not acclimated. Santee, the great Kansas runner, was one these. The Argentinians bought more Hi-Proteen than any other team. I am as sure as I am that I am sitting here alive (and I feel like a million) that the Argentinian's victory in the 1500 meter run, which received bigger headlines than the decathlon, was the margin he gained from Super Hi-Proteen. Both runners had the same time; the Argentinian was just enough ahead to win. A little more time for Santee to be acclimated, a little less running competition (he ran the previous Saturday in Houston to raise money for the Olympic team), some Hi-Proteen and he would have had that great victory.

Certainly Hi-Proteen helped the Argentinians. Theirs is a small country, yet in many events they fought the big United States to a standstill. They won five team championships to 13 for the U.S. If the Brazilians had not won in basketball it would have been 6-12, with a country only one-tenth as large as our scoring half as many points. It makes one wonder how a country SO far from the centers of international sports can have such a high standard of competition. Good nutrition is one of the big reasons for their success, and although they have plenty of good protein, some of the best meat in the world, they realized the great value of Hi-Proteen and made full use of it. The Puerto Rican team came well supplied with Hi-Proteen, which is sold in quantity there. The Venezuelans did well, winning a number of events and placing high in the overall competition, and they purchased considerable HiProteen from Alan Hool. Roger Diquez, the team captain, has been in York twice and they call their club the York Barbell Club of Caracas, so naturally he has had much time to learn of HiProteen.

The use of Hi-Proteen, as far as I can discover, was almost universal at the Pan American Games, and it will be even more so in the future. Any athlete or team hoping to compete on an even basis with other teams will have to use it. It's good for people of all ages, provides the body with all the elements it needs for building, maintenance and repair, but most important of all it provides energy, banishes fatigue, makes it possible to live more fully. Hi-Proteen will enrich your life. All Hi-Proteen is good, but the Super Hi-Proteen is most potent. Most of the teams were using this best of the HiProteen family.

judge is given a list of the contestants, with their names and numbers so that he can easily identify them.

As the contest begins the contestants are marched upon the stage in order according to the numbers which they have been assigned. If there are more than 20 contestants, they will be arranged in two or more groups. With this initial showing of the contestants the judges are given an opportunity to compare one with another and get a line on the relative merits of the competing athletes. The contestants face front in a relaxed condition, then at a signal turn a quarter turn to the right, again to the right so that their back is shown, and then a quarter turn to suitable the right again. After a interval they are marched off. In these relaxed poses it is difficult, perhaps impossible, for a competitor to conceal poor development or lack of development in any body part, or lack of symmetry.

It is usually customary to have the competition in the special divisions the first day of the competition if it is a two-day affair, to hold them in the afternoon of a single day's program or if preferred and the contest is not too large, just prior to the selection of the best

physique. As physique contests can can be long drawn out, they can be boring to the spectators, so it is wise to show as much speed as possible which is consistent with a fair display for each competing athlete.

For the subdivisions, it is customary to call out all who desire to compete in the special division, Best Arms, Best Back, Best Chest, Best Legs, and Best Abdominals. All who wish to compete in a special division line up on the stage and at a given signal display their arms, or their chest, or their back, etc., to the best advantage, until the judges are satisfied. Then each judge writes down on a piece of paper with which he has been supplied, who in his opinion has the best arm, etc. If there is a clear majority for any athlete, he is listed as the winner in that special division. In case of a tie or ties, the men who have the same number of votes are brought out again and a final decision is made. Frequently when the judges see the two or three finalists together they will change their votes so that a majority agree.

The Most Muscular Man title is usually awarded as the feature of the first day's program. Those who wish to compete for the title Most Muscular Man, which many consider more valuable than the Mr. This-orThat which is at stake, come out together and pose as a group. While (Continued on page 58)
