Gary Aprahamian is a mountain of a man from Queens, New York. The reported lifts are those done in training. At this point. Gary has had a hard time with the sljuat in A.A.U. meets. In his last two mcets his sljuats were disqualified by the judges at X50 and 937 respectfully. However. Gary is so awesome looking he's scary. He's got a big tatoo "Mother" on his massive 26" right arm and his 29" neck makes him look like the baddest bad guy in a Bruce Lee movie. M r. Aprahamian also has the perfect job: a bouncer at a rock club in New York.

After 1got up the nerve to talk to Gary, l found that he is a fine individual. His idol is the great legendary strongman, Paul Anderson. He played football in high school and because of his super strength was able to move his 380 pounds at a 5.25 second pace in the forty. He wants to be recognized as the strongest man in the world. In my judgement, with proper training, he could lay claim to this goal in two years. Good luck Gary, we'll be pulling for you.

Jim McMahon: Heisman Candidate (cont. from page 22) As this journal goes to print. Jim McMahon's bid for the 1981 Heisma n T ro phy has ta ken some set back s. Jim passed for over 200 yards in BYU's game against Colorado in the fin quarter early in the season. However, later in that game Jim's knee was severely hyperextended. As a result he missed two games and now wears a knee brace which severely limits his ability to scramble. His unique ability to scramble and find receivers was a McMahon trademark.

In spite of all this, Jim is still the total offense leader in NCAA football averaging over 300 yards per game' BYU was ranked as high as 8th in the nation but has since slipped out of the top twenly as a result of a 6-2 season at this point. This obviously hurts Mc Mahon's chances for the Heisman especially since Marcus Allen of USC is rushing for over 200 yards per game and Georgia's Herchel Walker is not far behind. However, McMah0n is known for his late game miracle finishes, maybe he'll have a late season miracle finish,
