Clarence "Clancy" Ross, 1st place 🏆, 2nd overall 🥈
Hearst Metrotone News, Jun. 17, 1955: NAMING "MR. UNIVERSE" – The search for the perfect male! In London, husky candidates from 20 countries vie for the coveted title of 'Mr. Universe.' The muscle men of the world, both pros and amateur, are here flexing their biceps like crazy! Even far India is represented; bodybuilding has become an international sport. Some admiring ladies take measurements of Clancy Ross, one of four U.S. entrants. Looks like his has what it takes! But the judges award the professional title to Canada's 35-year-old, Leo Robert, 'Mr' Hercules' for 1955! By the way, here is Mickey Hargitay who takes the amateur title for the U.S.!"
Muscle Builder, September 1955, page 22: Weider Men Sweep Mr. Universe Contest – "[...] Here are the highlights of the event. In the professional division, Tall Man's Class, Weider Booster Clancy Ross won the top spot, hands down. In the Medium Height Class, Leo Robert, Weider Pupil and Booster won in a walk-away. The judges who had the inevitable job of deciding between these two perfect men for the title of Professional 'Mr. Universe', finally awarded Leo Robert the title. It was close, and while we are delighted that our pupil Leo won, in fairness to Ross we must mention that the long trip from California to London took a lot out of him. He fell victim to the flu two days before the big event and competed against doctor's orders, weighing only 187 pounds instead of his regular 202 pounds bodyweight knowing that he wasn't in top shape. Only conjecture is possible when considering the outcome if Ross hadn't been ill."
