Rice Scores Again
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, March 20.-The ba-
quivered as $4,000 fans held their
breath as if in fear of blowing it
off.
But the bar stuck, and Cornelius
Warmerdam hoped out of the saw
dust pit, breaking into a smile as
big as the thunderclap of applause,
for he had just bettered his world
records in the pole vault by soaring
over height officially announced
at IS feet 81 inches.
The bar then was raised to Is feet
y inch, and Warmerdam. compet-
ing for the first time as an ensign
stationed at Chapel Hill, N. c.
raced down the Chicago relays 140-
loot runway three times trying to
get over. Each time he barely
brushed off the bar, and gave up.
The flying Dutchmans indoor
leap of Is feet Ia inches and out
door mark of IS feet ia inches were
accepted last year as world records.
Dodds Stays i'm Front.
Gil Dodds, the Boston divinity
student, won the Bankers mile easily
to go with his Boston Baxter title.
Breaking away first, he maintained
his lead throughout and came in
with 10 yards to spare over second
place Earl Mitchell of Indiana.
Frank Dixon, the New York Uni
versity freshman who had won the
Hunter, Columbian and National
AAU miles, failed to find his ia
nous closing kick and followed
Mitchell In third by scant foot.
Dodds' time of 4:08.5, although far
OIL the relays record, was the best
of the indoor season, topping Mitch
ellis 4:08.6 in the Wanamaker VIC
tory.
Little Greg Rice captured his SD
successive race in the 2-mile despite
gallant challenge by Notre Danes
Ollie Hunter. Hunter stayed on his
heels until the last two laps, but
Rice pulled away fast. passed up the
rest of the field for the second time,
and broke into the tape 30-35 yards
in front of Hunter.
Greg's time was 1853, compared
to his world record of 8:51, set in
the relays in 1941.
Thompson Ties Record.
Herbert Thompson of Jersey City
won his fourth straight sprint series,
equaling the world record of :04.4 ir,
the 40-yard dash; and Bob Wright
OF Ohio State annexed the high
hurdles series, winning all three
races, at 40, so and 60 yards after
Aviation Cadet Charley Had failed
to qualify in preliminary heat.
After winning the high jump at 6
feet 6 inches, Dwight Eddleman,
Illinois freshman who reported for
Army duty at Fort Sheridan Friday,
took three trys at feet inches in
effort to make a record but could not
get over.
Eisenhart Scores Upset.
The upset of the meet came in
the 1000 when Les Eisenhart, for
mer Ohio State captain, winged to
2:13.8 clocking to beat out the
famed Gene Venzke by yards, and
Dave Matthews, Michigan track
captain, who finished third. Jim
Rafferty, of New York, national AAU
champion, was disappointing
fourth.
In one of the closest races, Jimmy
Herbert of the New York Grand
street boys, won his third RELAYS
title in the 900" with a burst of
speed in the last half lap which sent
him ahead of Michigans Bob Ufer.

With the added enrichment Of
