Fredericksburg and Hyattsville all have
fallen before the Purple. although
Eastern and western held Orrell
Mitchell's charges to 3 and 1-point

st. Johns might also be boasting a

Central. the defeats came by narrow
margins and at that, st. Johns licked
Eastern in q return game On paper.

Garden. Certainly the lighting facili-

cause for complaint. II anything.
competing indoors should be a help

Ohe should have no great difficulty
in adjusting his style to indoor condi-

HOFF was in a class by himself.
In those days the accepted rec
ord was about Is feet. Hoff proceeded
to raise the mark by eighths and six
teenths Of an inch until he pushed Il
feet. Charlie had an ambitious sched.
ule mapped out, and in order to treat
every audience to a record-breaking
performance he had to be mighty
careful about his advances to Eis
ceiling. He did it bit at time.
Just what the Norwegian stars cell.
ing actually was no one will ever
know. Certainly IA feet was not even
close to it. Unfortunately hof got
into difficulties with the A. A. U. over
his activities and was banned from
amateur competition before he had
cut loose with the sort of vault he
was capable of.
In practice one afternoon. m
none too well lighted armory, Hoff set
the cross bar at IA feet and calmly
cleared 1t. And there was plenty Of
