This was an intense battle, with Smith being disqualified by the judges for continual posing during the \"stand relaxed\" instruction from the judges. C. F. Smith did not do much wrong by today's standards. He was hitting various quick poses when he was supposed to be standing relaxed. It may have been during the quarter turns of the prejudging but most likely it was during the final lot of comparisons as it happened after he had posed. It continued on, even after he was asked by by the head judge to stop flexing.  Arnold got away with exactly the same thing at the 1980 Mr Olympia in Sydney!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eAfter a short time, the head judge's patience ran out over this extra flexing. He stopped the prejudging and banished Smith from the stage.

ROD KOONTZ won the overall title which possibly may have gone to Smith if it had not been for this incident! Draw your own conclusions from the RESULTS below. What amazes me is that Smith was listed as the class winner (disqualified) in the official results that I have. Normally his placing would be excluded and not revealed if this happened today. Maybe it was to make a point. C.F. Smith was a Medical Doctor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThis amazing USA contest segment runs approx 15 mins.
