16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 23, 1906 JACK OBERMAN, AT 41, FEELS LIKE 17 AGAIN Top Weightlifter Makes Comeback By KEN CLARK WINNIPEG (CP) -- Weight- lifting is- almost a way of life for a 41-year-old Winnipeg busi- nessman who has made a come- back in the young man's sport and now beats competitors half his age. Jack O berman, Manitoba middle heavyweight champion for the last two years, says "the way I feel right now I could go on for another five or six years in competitive lift- ing." He broke into the sport at 15 in Winnipeg and won the West- ern Canada light-heavyweight title two years later in 1940. The war intervened and he joined the services. After it was over, Oberman found interest in the sport lagging but kept in shape by exercising. In a 1953 workout he slipped a disc in his back, underwent years of chiropractic treatment and resumed lifting gradually to build up his injury-weakened back, Friends kidded him into mak- ing a comeback in competitive lifting and he began serious work on the weights 18 months ago. Now, he says, proudly, sae | beat kids 22 years old." Oberman works out twice a week at the Young Men's He- 'brew Association weightlifting club where he is an instructor. RUNS STEAMBATH This regimen is not nearly enough, he says, but it's ail he can spare from his family and from the commercial steambath he has operated for 20 years. He has four children, the oldest BUSH LEAGUB Piayorf standings: Championship -- Doyle Conetruction| 3371; City Yards 3354, Len and Lou's CNR 2969, 3261 and Acme Haul- a 16-year-old daughter. How does his wife feel about the time he devotes to the sport? "We had it agreed before we were married that I could her word on that." Five - foot - 10 and a hard- is only seven pounds over the champion. He cannot meet the standards he set as a youth "but I think Oberman says his comeback was helped along by his lifelong pounds through diet and train- ing to get back in shape for iifting. it took him four months. "Now I can eat anything and not get fat. I just do not eat between meals or over-eat." Oberman, who neither drinks nor smokes, says exercise has done more than fit him for com- petition. "I feel like 17 all over again."
