YALE POLE VAULT
KINGS STARTED
IN 1883 SEASON

New Haven, Conn-UP)-The
pole vaulting dynasty of Yale Uni
versity, which Keith Brown and
Writ Thompson to-day are carry
ing forward, was established in
1883, when Thomas G.. Shearman,
Jr, won the event, setting the l G
A A A A record.
That was in the days when
vaulters used q spruce pole with a
steel spike. Such pole still was
in use when Robert C. Clapp came
to Yale in the late 90s, but he
evolved a new technique and
cleared the bar at IL feet. 1t was
all unheard of height when he
made the record.
The next Eli man to carry tho
Yale vaulting tradition to new
q New Haven toy manufacturer.
Gilbert switched from the spruce
pole to one of bamboo, and in the
Olympic tryouts in 1908 cleared
the bar at ~ feet and z inches.
This was after he had been at
Yale four years.
Robert Gardner carried on in
1912, and his vault Of 13 feet one
inch was the first time an athlete
had broken through the 13-foot
ink. Gardner is an uncle of
Brown, who Is now clearing the
bar at IA feet for Yale.
Next in the list of Yale vaulting
greats came Sabin Carr, the Du-
buque, Iowa, youth who cleared
the bar at IA feet, and then Fred
Sturdy, another to soar over the
bar at IA feet or better.
Brown and Thompson assure
Yale of a continuation of this great
line. Brown, a sophomore, Is
good bet to raise the outdoor rec
ord before he finishes.

New York, July 12.-UP)-
Fighting for q crack at Jimmy
McLarnin's welterweight crown,
Billy Petrolle, the somewhat
ancient Fargo Express, is a 7-to-5
favorite to beat Bop Van Klaveren
of Holland in their scheduled 10
round bout tonight at the Polo
grounds.
Although Petrolle Is 2S-years
old and has been fighting for nine
years, he is favored to trounce the
24-year old lightweight champion
of Europe because of his punch
Ing power, experience and the un-
certainty regarding Van Klaveren's
ability to take 1t on the chin.
Experienced
Van Kiaveren will enter the ring
at about 146 pounds, having put on
considerable weight since deserting
the lightweight class. He Is ex-
pected to furnish stiff opposition
for the hard hitting Petrolle be-
cause of his record of 1877 bouts
in Europe and America without a
defeat.
