VAULTERS
MEET At PENN

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.-One
of the most interesting pole vault
duels in recent years is expected
at the thiry-sixth annual UniverS-
ity of pennsylvania relay carnival
on April 25 and 26. according TO
H. Jainison Swarts, manager of
the meet.
Among the many entries re-
ceived from the two institutions
are those Of Oscar Surtmeister,
Harvard and Everett Colyer, Of
Cornell. Judging by the showing
of Eastern vaulters since last
spring, these two stand out as the
best in this section.
Since the start of the indoor
campaign Colyer and Surtmeister
have staged more than one duel.
In the indoor intercollegiates they
tied for first place along with
Berlinger, Of Pennsylvania at 13
feet. Later, in a triangular meet
at Boston, in which Dartmouth
was also a contestant, the Har-
ward man and Yale man tied at
13 feet 2I4 inches.
COiyer has . slight edge
over his opponent i'm vaulting
skywaFd during the winter,
his best mark being Is feet
4Ainches made I'm Yale
Cornell dual meet. I'm the dual

Colyer jumped 3 feet.
Should Surtmeister win the
event In the relays he will be the
first Harvard man since 1904 tc
score a triumph. Twenty-six years
ago A. Gring tied with G. Behr
of Princeton. for first place with
q vault of IL feet 8 inches.
How much the pole vaulterE
have improved over that stretch
can be cleaned from the record
breaking performance of Fred
Sturdy, of Yale, made last veal
when he cleared 13 feet 5h
inches.
Should Colyer win he would be
the first from that institution
since 1916 when +. Foss won the
title by clearing IL feet 9 inches

that is impossible, he is working
out plans to make champion

which he has at his disposal.
It is obvious to Mountaineer
track followers that there are q
half dozen varsity eligibles who
will have to do extra duty II the
West VirginianS are to have q
successful year in track athletics.
Vental Waggoner is likely to have
to run in the three Sprints in ad-
dition to taking part in the
jumps. "Runt" Galloway is the
lone dependable in the hurdles
and will also have to pair with
Waggoner in the jumps.
All of the middle and long
distance running, or, at least,
the burden of pOint-making,
will likely rest upon Capt.
Fred Riley, Mickey Brand and
Jimmy Chambers.
The pole vault is about the
only event that will be adequately
handled, with Cy Ruble and Bill
Hughes the most dependable.
Although the lack of specialists
for each of the track events is
one of Coach Smiths big prob
lens. it Is not as vexing as the
non-presence of weight men.
Charley Hill, who does fairly well
in the shot, discus, hammer and
javelin, will have to do the heavy
scoring.
