Original Toronto Star caption: Shot putter Brian Oldfield emerged as star of last night's pro track meet, being both performer and showman the new circuit needs so badly. He won his event over Randy Matson and on each throw delivered his famed Tarzan yell to make sure fans know his 270 pounds were centre stage. Despite his size -- he's 6-foot-5 -- Oldfield doesn't like football.
