One Inch in 12 Years!
THAT'S THE scANT MARGIN BY WHICH COLLEGIATE POLE VAULT
 RECORD HAS BEEN IMPROVED SINCE 1912

Back n isi. Bob Gardner, the self star competing for Yale, set q new collegiate pels vault record of IS feet inch,
 h has been ls years since Gardner lsaned 10 fame by rising above the IS faet mark, That's quite a span, But in those fellosinE dozen campaigns only one ssant inch has been added to Gsrdnsr's feat, Dean Brewnell, University of Illinois, cleared IS feet and : inches st the Big Ten meet last year, This mark still stands as the American collegiate record,
 Have the college vaulters reached the maximum in heights Judging from their sesnl accomplishments in the past ls years it would appear that such is the case, Since Gardners spectacular vault our universities have produced many first.elass vault. CTS, hut moi one, with the single ek- eeptlon of Brownell. has heen able 10 outdo the Eli mans iai? jump.
 From 1902 10 1919. some IS inches were added to the mark. II feet 6 in- ehes being considered top-noteh ef- fort a little over decade ago.
 Charles pyorsk of Michigan was one of the best In the country along about the beginning Of the goth cen trry. He was good for around Ii feet inches every time ont. Then came Martin Dole. Stanford and others with leaps Of i2 feet and ie feet 6 inches, followed by Gardner and Brownell.
 And there 1t has stopped.
 True, stare like Frank Toss and Mark Wright have bettered Brown ell's performance. but not as college athletes. Ralph Pearow. University Of Oregon man, who went over with the 1924 Olympic team, has been credited with a leap of IS feet in- chcs in practice, but in actual compe- tition has fallen far below that figure. In the recent international games he failed miserably.
 Track and field records--most of them--are being smashed every sea- son. but the pole vault secs very few changes.

YALE FIGURING ON B|G RECEIPTS
Football "Gate" Expected to Be
 Larse.-NeW Ticket Plan

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 22.-IeS Rickard. promo oter of pugilistic ex- travaganzas,, has nothing on Old Eli promoter of football contests de luxe and remunerative.
 The Yale eleven vii lplay to ap- proximately s75o,o0o gate" this autumn, quite enough to make Mir. Rickard casually turn his promotional bean.
 Since Yale made a practice of play ing the Army. the bowl has been filled to capacity twice during the season. Now Yale, with Dartmouth back on the schedule, plans to fill it three times. Prices for the Harvard and Army games will be sS, and for Dartmouth s2. This will realize about s6e4,0o0 alone.
 Yale this year is selling blanket tickets with a premium offer that acts in two ways. The offer insures reserved seat privileges. This means Yale is after public patronage that may break all gridiron gate" records.
 Yale doesn't need general patronage at her big classics, the Princeton or Harvard football games. but it is different with the preliminary con- grads near and far.
 Tn going after Mir. General Publics business the Yale Athletic association has appealed to his greatest weak meas; Something for nothing.
 The plan is not wholly unlike the str&tegy of the patent medicine seller who offers a package of needles, bar of soap and three balls of pink yarn with each bottle of corn cure.
 If you buy season ticket for the four preliminary games, then you may have the privilege of applying for tickets to the big games," purr the Yale magnates.
 Thus the outside gridiron fandom need no longer feel the depressing realization of an inferiority complex.
 The grumbe here has been long and thunderous. When the big" games rolled around MT. General Public--the same old bird who sup ported the minor contests-was left outside in the cold, clustering winds.
 On the occasion of the Harvard and Princeton games this city is invaded by thousands Of graduates and under graduates of the Big Three" uni versailles. and Mir. General Public is always asked to step aside. So he has finally become indignant and de- cided to stay away from inc prelimi- rary games. Last year a boycott was virtually in force.
 This probably explains Isle's pres ent campaign to get his business back.
 Incidentally Yale has raised prices repeatedly during recent years. With the booking Of the Army. a 75-center with small college became a B affair.
 And now another 5-center-the Dartmouth gsme-has become a s2 affair
 Don't let anybody toll you the col leges aren't interested in the turn stiles!

 Suspended and Purse Held Up

New Haven, Aug, ss,-After trying for nine rounds to make a hght Of il, Louis ikidl Kaplsn received the decision over rai Moran, of New lurleans, al Weiss park, New Haven, when Referee Young MeAulitfe. of Bridgeport, stopped the main bout and raised the hand of the Meriden featherweight as s sign of victory. Before doing this MeAnliffe told the fans through Heck Maher, the official announcer, thst the main bout was called off and gave as his reason the unwillingness of the southerner 10 make 1t q battle,
 The sudden haltins of the bout came after Moran had been warned several times by MeAuiiffe. Tn the fourth the referee stopped the bout and told Moran to make it a fight and not 10 "puii his punches" Repeated admonitions a proved of no avail and the ninth round came as the finish,
 It was learned after the bout that Moran claimed an injury to his left hand and at a lato hour last night an X-ray was taken of his hand. The state boxing commission ruled that Moran not be paid his purse and in- nieted an immediate suspension. pending R hearing on Moran.
 From the start of the bout Moran was teered and called upon to fur nish some actian by the bloodthirsty fans. Louie Started with his usual tactics, using his left hand freely and swinging an occasional right handler. while Moran tailied feebiy with his right. The famous right hand uppercut that the New Orleans boy was reputed to have did not leave cover very often. When it did, its deadly effectiveness appeared lost on the ever-busy Kaplan.
 Moran Retreats Continually Moran was on the retreat most of he time. In the last part of the first ound the local boy opened a cut over s opponents right eye and jabbed aay at 1t for the rest of the brief e.ning spent ia the ring.
