x White elected to play ball
rather than perform for
- Catholic University in the
pole vault, the Cardinals lost a
track meet by 2 2-3 points to
the Stonewall Democratic Club
of Baltimore yesterday on the
c. U. field.
Since the Baltimoreans' lone pole
vaulter was able to clear the mini
mum height prescribed by the on
cials, they were awarded five points
and won the meet, 81 Ia points to
SO 2-3. Had White, who is, or rather
was, c. US only pole vaulter Coach
Dorsey Griff1th of the Cardinals en-
phasized he was last night been
present and leaped the minimum
height, something around 9 feet 6, C.
U. would have placed second in the
event and won the meet by one-third
Of point, 81 2-3 to 81 1-3.
White could do much better than
the 10 feet 3 inches Dannsberger did
to win the pole vault, according TO
Coach Grifith, and likely would have
won the event. At any rate, he was
a cinch to get second place, which
would have won the meet, Grifith
taking the stand that victory by a
third Of point is victory none the
less. Unless White can prove he was
not playing soft ball or something
that was vitality important, he has abb
solutely no chance Of competing with
the c. U. team in its three remaining
meets this year. Grifith wants that
strictly understood. He held the meet
up a whole half hour waiting for
White to appear, he said.
Griffith said that had he any inti-
nation White was going to be absent
he could have prepared pole vaulter
who probably could have made the
minimum leap. Conner, C. US mid
dle-distance runner, has some vault
ing ability and Danny Pyne, the Car
dinalS boxer, claims to be a vaulter.
But Connor was not in shape to leap
yesterday and Pyne was oficiating
and Griffith did not regard it as
ethical to permit an official to cease
officiating and compete.
Manager Pressed Into Service.
NNE member Of the c. U. track
" squad was particularly het up
over the turn of events. Man
ager Jack Wiggelsworth was per-
Suaded to get into a uniform and
compete in the hurdle events to OBJ
tain precious points needed to put
the team over, figuring, of course, on
White getting some in the pole vault.
he did his part, all right, getting q
third in each OF the hurdle events,
although he did much knocking down
OF hurdles in the process. He was
plenty sore later to learn that c. u.
had lost, after all, because White had
failed to show.
Norton, Conner and Brennan each
won three events for Catholic Uni
versity. Summaries:
