George HORNE breaking a worlds record.

ground. breaking Sweeney's long
standing record of 6 feet 55s inches.
On May Is of the same year, in the
Pacific Coast tryouts for the Olympic
games, the farmer boy again added to
his fame by clearing feet 7 inches,
making a worlds record that stood
until 1914 when Edward Beeson of the
Olympic club, San Francisco. topped
the mark by flve-sixteenths of an inch.
Beeson's success can be traced directly
to HORNE, for it was by copying the
style Of the latter that Beeson devel-
oped his ability in the running high
jump.
Just as long as critics of form in
athletics exist, just so long will Ho-
rine's method Of jumping come in for
a round share Of adverse comment. 1t
was HORNE who evolved the western
roll" which is the secret of his re-
markable prowess, and there are
plenty of critics who contend that his
system Of rolling across the bar after
he has raised himself to the level of the
stick makes him an acrobate rather
than a high jumper. Yet the fact re-
mains that some of the worlds best
authorities have pronounced Horine's
style faultless, adhering in all re-
spects to the rules governing the sport,
and II there had been the least doubt
about the legality Of the style the west
erner in all probability could not have
competed in the Olympic games at
Stockholm.

they romped, was so to and the Ma
comb boys made no points except by
long shots and free throws. The al
ternates, who started the fray, de-
feated the visitors in the first period
by % to 10 score and as soon as the
firsts took the floor an exhibition start
