YAAQT CARLSON
GARDNER OF YALE

~HsASOA~A>As VI ASAAAA
Pole-vaulting has kept pace with
the majority Of other events in col
lcgc track and field athletics.
Some 20 years ago vault Of ii
feet. 6 inches was considered plenty
good enough to win. That was in
the days Of |.aroy Samsc, Charles
Dv0rak and Norman Dole.
The height of vaultcr's ambition,
OF course. was to approach the ~
foot figure. Then came Edward
Cooke. Barr, Wagner and others
to better that mark. It seemed the
top-notch record had been reached.
Still the bar kept going up until
it was close to 13 feet. Came the
season of 1912. At Yale University
was a first-class vaultcr named Bob
Gardner. He was quite sensation,
in fact. On several occasions he had
come within few inches Of the 13-
foot level.
Finally, on juno Of that year,
Gardner established q new collegiate
mark by getting over the bar At Ii
feet, one inch. He was the first ath-
lctc credited with q 13-foot vault in
collegiate meet.
After Gardner's. great performance
no college vaulter was able to excel
the Yale stars effort until couple
years or so ago, when Dean Brow1-
ell of Illinois cleared IS feet, 9 inches.
Gardner, by the way, later devel-
oped into a golfer Of prominence.
He won the national amateur cham
pionship in 1915. And was runnerup
for the honor in 1916 and 1921. He
has since COPIED several lesser
laurels. 81
In 20 years the pole-vaulting mark
has been boosted about 20 inches in
colleges competition. Today you must
clear Is feet consistently to be in the
running.
