I. A. A. A. A.

Traveling at the speed of a sprinter, thrusting a bamboo pole in the ground at the proper moment, Sabin W. Carr of Yale flung himself over a bar that was poised exactly 14 feet above the ground, established a new world's pole vault record. The highest previous flight, 13 feet, 11 3/8 inches, was made by Charles Hoff a Norwegian, in 1925.

Carr's vault came at the end of a day of triumph of Pacific coast athletes. For the sixth time within the last seven years, a band of Californians won the track & field championship of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, held at Philadelphia. This year it was Stanford. Southern California, last year's champions, finished in fourth place, chiefly because it produced a sturdy youngster named Charles Borah, who left his nearest competitor ten yards behind in the 220-yard dash, four yards behind in the 100-yard dash.
