mark to date.
Boo qualified for the Olympics,
but at London found the terrible
footing during the rain more than
he could cope with. All the vaulters
were handicapped and none Of the
marks was exceptional.

phases, my wife now is the real
coach.
"She has an excellent knowledge
of vaulting techniques and can spot
a poor pull-up at 80 PAGES.
"She keeps records of my jumps
to find a pattern to determine the
number of vaults I should take in

methods of conditioning (cales-
themes, running, gymnastics) by in
sisting that they are done with reg
ularity.
"She is, of course, in charge Of my
diet and has deprived me Of raids
on the kitchen. During the track

hours. In other words, due to the
fact that she is with me, nearly all
the time, she can see that my train
ing routine s extensive and
thorough.

me what heights to try in competi-
ton. She seems to have better
sense of value as far as my ability

dict with more accuracy what height

It's not me but my reputation,
you know. They penalize my
reputation" And he shakes his
head sadly as though he knows
that. nobody really will under
stand. It's a burden he has to
bear all by himself.
That reputation was earned
in his early hockey days, about
eight years ago, but it reached
full flower only last season. Then
he played for the Tulsa Oilers
in the United States League and
won the loop penalty box cham
pionship with 19l minutes in 66
games. He also is a player Of
tremendous size with 205 pounds
on a 5-foot-11 frame. He's just
big and solid, and when he and
somebody else run into each
other, it is somebody else that
goes down. And Dick goes to
the penalty box.
Dick, though, is just a symbol
of the new-style Lions. They
are not mild-mannered any more

they totaled far less time in

Mid-Monnered Harry Dick
Is Fiercest Lion, 1t Seems
By GEORGE Huber

Harry Dick, defenseman with
the Washington Lions hockey
team, is mild hammered and fun
loving, with a fine sense of humor.
There Is an innocent air to his
cherubic face; he gives the i'm
preston that his spare time Is
spent petting small children and
helping elderly ladies across the
street.
Somehow, though, officials of
the American Hockey League just
don't understand our boy Dick.
For some reasons or other he has
a big lead in time spent in the
penalty box. And this is only his
first season in the league. At last
count he had put go minutes in
the sin bin, which is about 80 per
cent more time than meted to
such other regular penalty box
inhabitants as Ross Lowe of Her
shey, Nelson Podolosky of In
dianapolis, George De Feice of
Philadelphia, Phil Samis of Pitts
burgh and Phil Vitale of Wash
ington.
It isn't Dicks fault, either, to
hear him tell it. He just stands
there, minding his own business,
when the other players come
crashing into him. He is so big
and solid, though, that the other
players sort Of bounce of onto
the ice. Dick gets two minutes
for charging, or five minutes for
slashing. plus two more minutes
