BOSTON, Feb. 16- R -
World recopd-smasher Corny
Warmerdam, who pole vaults
mostly with his head, having
made a science of his speciality,
feared that the length Of his arms
would prevent him from gaining
his 16-foot goal as he prepared
today to resume his school teach
Ing tasks in Piedmont, Calf.
Ten days ago, Warmerdam,
the only vaulter to clear Is feet,
which he has done Is times, took
q vacation with the hopes of
achieving his goal during New
York's Millrose and the Boston
A. A. games.
RECORD LAST WEEK
Last week he added the world
indoor record to his outdoor
mark Of IS feet, 5A inches, by
vaulting Is feet, 70 inches, at
New York. Then, with high
hopes, he came here, for he re-
garded the Boston Gardens
vaulters' runway and pit as the
best In the world.
He had ten tries here and, be-
fore he used them up, he had
raised his new indoor record to
15-7A, highest vault made in
history and had three failures at
1910, just two inches short of

his supposedly unattainable goal.
According to the charts
have made about vaulting, my
height of six feet indicates that
my arms are bit too short to
clear Is feet" he explained af-
ter barely missing his goal. On
his final 1910 try, he appeared
to be over by at least four inches
but an elbow jolted the bar off
its pins as he descended.

II also had figured that I am

With his fourth attempt,
Warmerdam cleared 1872 and
then he vaulted three more times
before soaring over the epic
height of 1874. After a half
hour rest, he returned to the run
way and made his three unsuc-
cessful tries at 1910.

MIAMI, FLA, Feb. 16-(R-
Despite Alsab's second humili-
ating defeat in as many starts as
a three-year-old, owner AL Sa-
bath is mot one bit discouraged
about his 1941 juvenile cham
pion.
"He needs more work, there's
no question about that" said
SABBATH after Alsab had finished
a poor fourth in a 81, 5000 race.
However, don't believe
we'll start him again before the
Flamingo. I'm not one bit dis
couraged or worried about him
he was unimpressive at this
time last year but improved fast
once he hit his stride. / believe
he'll do the same again.
There was little doubt in the
minds of most of the l5,845 who
saw Alsab's latest effort that he
would have to show sharp i'm
provement to become a factor in
the $4,000 Flamingo Feb. %.
The startled crowd, which had
installed him a 3 to 4 choice al
the betting windows, watched in
unbelieving dismay as last years
wonder horse failed completely
Saturday to show the driving
stretch that made him famous.

ALL vilior
In Till Here
Ken Vernier Marks
II Points; Visitor
Collects Totol Of 20

Having been king for a night,
st. Mary's cagers fell back into
their losing ways yesterday,
dropping their eighth game in
nine starts to st. Fred's Of Pom
tiac, 41-21.
The Mountaineers won their
only tilt of the season on Wed
nesday. against st. Francis de
Sales.
Only one bright spot stood
out in yesterdays performance
on the st. Mary's court. That
was the offensive play of Ken
Vernier, guard, who put on an
exhibition of shooting which had
spectators gasping. He rammed
in eight field goals and a free
throw for II points-high for q
local high school player this
season-to keep the Mountain
GERS in the game. Capt. Jim
Petitpren, the other guard,
marked the other four points for
the locals.
SCORE TIED ONCE
Only once was the score tied
yesterday. After st. Fred's had
taken a 6-2 first quarter lead,
the Mountaineers bounced back
as Vernier scored a pair of buck
cts to tie the score at SIS. Then
the visitors clicked on their
fast break and poured in IA
points for a 2O-6 margin before
Vernier, dribbling the length of
the floor, scored again.
A furry of shooting on the
part of Vernier and Petitpren
gave the locals a look-in, as they
rallied to a 1927 position, but
their punch failed them then.
Vernier, unable to miss, had a 80
per cent average on his shots.
WRIGHT GETS 30 POINTS
His scoring total, however,
failed to match that of center
Joe Wright of st. Fred's, who
collected 20 points, hitting fire.
quently during the last quarter,
when the visitors scored IA
points. Most sensational shot of
the game, and of the local High
school season, however, was one
by forward Jack Murphy, who
had a 11-point total for St.
Fred's.
Attempting to save bad pass
on an offensive play, Murphy
dashed after the ball and as he
fell out of bounds in the corner,
whipped the ball back in a un-
derhand, back hand throw in an
effort to keep it in play. The
pass stripped the net for two
points.
The next game for the Noun
taineers is with ST. James to-
morrow on the Ferndale floor.
