\ I 'I 10 YEARS OF TRACK AND FIE,LD Part ' XII - The Pole Vault By Humphrey J. Long

World Record: 1950 1960 15'7,i'' 15'8¼" In a short, ·but brilliant career, Cornelius "Dutch" Warmerdam completely revolution­ ized the pole v·ault, becoming the first man to attain 15 feet and setting an all -time high of 15'.7¾'' in 1942.The war cut short his meteoric career and progress ih th~ event after the end · of the war was slow. Guinn Smith of the United States took the 1948 Olympic title at a mere 14'1¼" with pro­ mising in third place. Richards came within a half inch of the magical 15 feet in 1950 - - a year which saw a noticeable increase in the depth of vaulting performances. At Bru~sels Swede11's Ragnar Lundberg won the European title at 14'1¼" two weeks after setting a new continental best of 14'4¾". The following year the overall improvement continued with three men bettering 15 feet. The first, surprisingly, was Nebraskan Don Cooper, who cleared 15'¼" at the Kansas Relays for a new collegiate record. However, ,this mark was short-lived . because about two ~ours later in Los Angeles another college student, pon Laz, lifted himself over 15'1!". But it was Richards who took the season's- honors with an: unbeaten record inclu- .· ding two 15-foot clearances. • The vaulting vicar was a clear favorite in the 1952 Olympics at Helsinki and so it sur- prised rio one when he won with a meet record 14'11!" from Laz and Lundberg. The .Olympic champ was the year's only 15-footer b_ut LWldberg raised the European record to 14'6¾'' on August 1. In the 1953 indoor session, Richards cleared 15 feet in 13 straight meets as the prelude to another unbe~ten outdoor season. A Russian, Pyotr Denisenko, equalled the Euro­ pean standard of 14 '6¾'• to signal Russia's improvement in yet another technical event. Deni­ senko improved to 14'7½" the followhig year in winning the Russian national title but the .Russian . vaulters flopped badly in the European Championships. At Bern, the new champiqn was Eele~ Landstrom of Finland who defeated Lundberg at 14'5¼". Richards, consistent as ever, won·the AAU title with a 15'3½" effort and with Laz dominated the U.S. scene. After :p__ushinghis indoor best up to 15'5" early in 1955, Richards travelled to Me:x:i90 City to take the Pan American Garnes title at 14'9:1" with Bobby Smith and Laz making it a clean sweep for the U.S. The preacher, as usual, continued his good form throughout the year, winning the AAU title at a level 15 feet. But the best competition of the year was for the NCAA gold medal. became the fifth man to clear 15 feet in beating a class field in­ cluding Bob Gutowski, Ron Morris and Walt Levack. Bragg's 15 'l II was a meet record. Euro­ pean vaulting also continued to improve, led by Landstrom who raise<:! the old continent's record first to 14'74 " in July and then to 14'9-l-s"a month later. , . . The highlight of the 1956 indoor season was A series of C:luelsbetween Richards and Bragg. Richards 'won all of their meetings but Bragg became the second highest vaulter ofaU · time with a 1515¼11 clearance in New York while Richards was unablet.o compete because of · / . mjury. Still indoors, an.other man, Jerry Welbourn, topped 15 feet and succeeded in defeating _Richards twice in the bargain. Moving int9 the open air in February Gutowski vaulted 15'¼" to set the pace to be followed by Richards, Bragg a+id others eager for places on the Olympic team. Bragg, who was injured, missed the NCAA meet, which ended in a tie between Gutowski and Jim Graham at 14'8". In the AAU a record 14 clearecL14 feet but only Richard~ went over 15 feet for his seventh national title. _Bragg, although troubled by a thigh injury, too·k second place. There was high drama in the Olympic Trials when Bragg went out at 14 '8½'' while seven \ others cleared that height. Richards and 1952 Olympian made 14'10½" with all . , the otherG failing. Graham made the team on the fewer misses rule. Overseas Landstrom irn - proved the European record to 14 '9½" with several other Europeans pushing him hard across the continent. Back in the states in a pre-Olympic meet both Richards and Gutowski cl~ar~d 15'5" and the latter won a place on the U.S. Olympic team when Graham relinquished his spot because , of an ankle injury. At Melbourne in shocking wind conditions Richards repeated as Olympic cham­ pion with a record 14 '11½". Gutowski took the silver medal with 14 1 10¼1'and George Roubanis, an American-trained Greek, was third at 1"1'9". · . In the 1957 indoor season Richards and Gutowski tied in the Millrose 'meet at a roof- scraping 15'6" but the 22-year-old Californian beat this and the 15-year-old world record on . 01 1 >.'"-·,(' · April 2.··1 at Stilllf~r~~ C_?}if., Jiitha is ~;ult)the new iccofd ~older had a ~~t mlbk~en sl" 1 · J ,, r sea 1son, ,'culminating in a 15'9-i" clearance at the.(NCAA meet in Jwie at Austin, Texas~ Un- ' .,? f6rtwiately, an official caugJ:t his pole Just after he had released it so no record was allowed wider international rules.

After qualifying for the final, Sime and Kave both withdrew because of leg · trouble. Murchison got his usual fast start in the final , but Collymore came on with _::,;" rush to nip Ira ·with Sydnor taking third. Collymore went on to win the IG4A 60 from Barnwell and was then installed as the favorite in the New York K of C 60. However,-Sydnor surprised everyone by scoring a close w_in over Barnwell for his first victory of the season. Ira Davis nosed out Collymore for the . bronze medal. Murchison outraced Collymore in Chicago and then both of them were beaten in a 50 at Cleveland by Bob Mitchell, the Illinois football star. The number one ranking for , · .. the sea,son went to Murchison. · . During the 1959 indoor season, Murchison didn't race in the East. Torn Robinson of . Michigan ~anded Murchison his only defeat at the Chicago Holiday meet early in the season. · Paul Winder, a· Morgan State sophomore, was the biggest winner of the Enstem board floor season. Jonas Spiegel, a Maryland freshman, beat Winder in the All-East meet. At the Boston K of C V\''inder won the 50 from Keith Gardner, the British Ernpite 100-yard champion. ---- -;--'"------Olympic champion Bobby Morrow beat Winder in the Washington Evenilg Star sprint series. It was a sensational indoor debut for the great Morrow. However, Winder came hack strongly to_win the ·Millrose 60 with Spiegel second and Morrow third. . Winder lost the Boston AA 50 to Gardner but again the Morgan State star came back with ~ flashy win over Sydnor _and Paul Drayton, a Villanova freshman, at the Philadelphia In­ quirer Games. No one had ever run 60 yards in 6.1 at the New YorkA.C. meet until Kave turned the trick in a semi-final , race. The foat was duplicated in the final when Barnwell beat Ka.ve. Winder, who was eliminated in the NYAC meet, faced a strong challenge in the AAU 60. Defending champion Ed Gollymore was the best 600 runner of tho campaign but he decided to run the 60 in the .A.AUmeet. Winder beat Kave in one semi and Gardner beat Collymore in 1 the other semi. In the final, Winder, Gardner, Collymore and Kave came charging down the Garden midway like a terun. Winder came up in the last few yards to nip Gardner with Collymore third. Winder's time of 6.1 tied the indoor record. '; Collymore again challenged Winder after Ed won the IC4A 60 from Brown. However, Winder scored a smashing victory in the New York K of C 60to cap a successful season. Barn­ well was second and Collymore third in this last sprint of the season in the Garden. ' The 1960 season was notable because of the introduction of big time indoor track to the West Coast. Collymore, now in the marines, renewed his great rivalry with Winder by de- _ feating Paul in the 60 at the All-Eastern meet. However, Winder turned the tables on Collymore in the 50 at the ,Boston K o(C meet. Meanwhile at the Los Angeles Invitational Bill Woodhouse won the 60 from Vic Hall. The next night the Washington Evening Star sprint series was won by Bob Brown. Sime won the 70 in this meet but withdrew from the series when .he felt a rnusc1e t'Winge in his leg. Villanova sophomore won the Millrose 60 from a fast field and Brown showed his Washington win was no fluke by taking the Boston AA 50 in 5. 3 to tie the meet record. Hurdler Hayes Jones of Eastern Michigan challenged the sprinters at the Phila­ delphia Inquirer meet and won the 50 from Budd and Spiegel besides winning the hurdles for a great double. The next night Jones scored another double at the New York A. C. meet, winning the hurdles and defeating Winder, Spiegel and John Fernandez of Manhattan in the sprint. Across the country track fans witnessed some great sprinting at the Los Angeles Times

1 meet. Irt the first heat of the 60 USC sophomore Jim Bates got an obvious rolling start and ran • a six-flat with Or<;gon's Roscoe Cook second. In the final, Cook ran the first ~egitimate six- flat ever 'run on boards with Bates second and Hall third. As usual th~ AAU Championships pro­ duced some great races and the official 6. 1 indoor record was tied twice. In the first semi, Winder won in 6.1 over Drayton while in the second semi Dave James of the Army also tied the 6.1 record .by beating Dan Miller of Maryland St. In the final, Winder came through with a great race to heat Miller, , Drayton and James for his second straight AA U title. ·.At the New York K of C meet BI'.ownwon his first big in_door 60 and he seemed a cinch to win the IC4A 60 but the surprise winner was Budd.
