Uncle Sam pimping the Trials.
Keds Footwear was the order of the day in ’52.

And apparently Blaine Lindgren was a stud high hurdler in ’60.
The iconic 1972 Trials in Eugene. 
Shorter would win the 10000 at the Trials and the Marathon in Munich. My buddy Gerry Lindgren finished 4th in his heat by one second.
