12. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Jone 29, 1963 : has been a controversial wubect the last two years and the Glass Pole Has hy Vaulting Almost Easy By JACK SULLIVAN Press Sports Editor The 16foot pole vault, for years just a dream with the world's vaulters, now is an every + day occurrence, much along the lines of the 60-foot shot . put and the four - minute mile. The reason: The glass pole. ost outspoken critic of what people term the "gim- micked-up" new pole is Don Bragg of the United States. He won the vaulting gold medal in the 1960 Olympics in Rome with a leap of 15 feet five inches. He used the old - fashioned metal pole and today many vaulters clear this height in warm-ups. It has reached the point where a meet is a flop if a vaulter doesn't reach 16 feet or higher. Bragg, who retired shortly after his Rome triumph, said the other day in Detroit that the pole vault now should be re- named the catapult, SAYS Ti'S EASY "That's what it is," he said. end of the pole, make it bend and then let it catapult them over the bar. Some -day some little guy is going to be flipped right through the roof.' "They say that it is progress, that it still requires a" lot of ability... ." What Bragg had to say was confirmed to some degree by vaulters at the Toronto Inter- national track 'and field meet this week. "No doubt the glass pole has ddne a heck of a lot," said Ron Morris of los Angeles, who placed second with a vault of 15 feet six inches, "I was one of the last hold- outs against the glass pole, but I found that I couldn't survive without its advantages. I com- peted 14 years with the metal pole and the best I could do with it was 15 feet eight inches. Now, my best with the glass is 16 feet one inch." Bragg, he added, "really never gave the glass pole a try so I don't think he's qualified to speak." 'STILL TRICKY' "It's still difficult with the "All they're doing now to top 16 feet is to grab hold of the) glass pole, You make basically the same movements, but with the tremendous bend of the glass pole the movements must be much faster than with the old metal pole. It is stjll tricky and tough to use and to mas- ter." Bob Wattson of Langley, B.C., who switched to the glass pole from the metal about 114 years ago, said the changeover helped him. His best with the metal was 13 feet four inches. Now, with the glass, he has done 15 feet 934 inches, "I figure I would be doing about 14 feet six inches if I had stayed with the steel," he added. "The glass pole is tough to get used to, and it is definite progress for track and field. "People don't care whether you use glass, metal or con- crete poles. They want to see people go higher and higher and they don't care how it is done. They want to see records and there's no reason why we shouldn't give 'em to them. It's good for track. "For me, and I'm sure for many other guys who made the switch to glass from steel, it is still difficult to vault. The metal pole had no bend. The glass is all bend, and you've got to ad- just to it, It's tough to do." Referee Target For Aussie Soccer Fans MELBOURNE (Reuters) -- Australia's football. fans, who are. among the most vociferous in the world, have one common target--the referee. The man in white shorts and ghirt with only a whistle for a weapon is often subjected to a barrage of bottles, stones or mi wad. Referees in Australian Rules Football also get punched, kicked, insulted or threatened. Seldom does anyone have a od word for them. Yet they 28 coming back every Satur- day for six months of the year. Former referee William Ba- ker suggested former boxers ought to be recruited as referee to "deter hooliganism by play- ers and spectators." Apart from attacks by the crowd, referees are often the target of players who are aroused to violence by their rulings. Action against the ref- eree or his property may even take place off the field. : One Australian Rules Football referee, 25-year-old Ken Cun- tires of his car slashed and riddled with nails after a match between two traditional rival teams, Norward and Port Adel-! aide. j In Melbourne, the home of) Australia's 18mana-side Aus-| tralian Rules Football, players) and referees enter and leave the} playing field by wire mesh/ gangways. | At any Australian football ground referees are grateful if they get through a match with- out incident among either play- ers or spectators.

Since that spring evening in 1954 when Roger Bannister yanked Oxford into the head- lines yith his 3:59.4 mile, the campus has drifted back into athletic obscurity. Now the Bannister spirit ts breezing back with John Boul- ter, a lanky 22-year-old modern languages student from Bolton, Lancashire. | In the opening weeks of this) season Boulter equalled the Brit-| ish and European record of! 1:47.3 for 880 yards and turned) in enough good times over four laps to make him a likely candi-| date for membership in the * four-minute club. Oxford even went to the trou-| ble to organize a special mile race in which he could attack) Derek Ibbotson's six - year - old) British record of 3:57.2. | A couple of pacemakers--a nasty word to international au-| thorities -- were laid on and Thomas Salinger of Czechoslo-| vakia provided international fla- vor, He also provided a shock by beating Boulter. i GOLDEN AGE i Nevertheless, Boulter still re-) minds British trackmen of the' days when Bannister and com- pany could lick all comers. First there was Bannister him- self, outsprinting Australia's' John Landy round the Van-| couver track to win the Empire) title. He's a doctor now and a keen social worker, I r May Be Then there was flame-haired Chris Chataway and his duels over 5,000 metres with Russian Viadimir Kuc. Chataway now is one of the Conservative party's up and coming junior ministers. And there was bespectacled Chris Brasher providing the sur- prise of the Melbourne Olympics stand by to ensure the referees get safely away from the grounds. In Perth, Western Australia, referee Ray Montgomery asked the Western Australia National Football League's protests and disputes board what action he could take against a well-known footballer who was. alleged to have tried to run him down in his car after a fiery club match. ontgomery was told the incident was a "league matter" and one which he should have included in the normal report of his match. Australian football is a com- posite of rugby, gridiron, soccer and Irish football, USES AN AXE TO 'LAND' STURGEON ELY, Minn. (AP)--How do you land a 61-pound fish when the landing net is too small and you don't have a gaff hook? "Hit him between the eyes with an axe," says Pat Tomsich, veteran Ely guide who had an axe along for just such an occasion, It happened when Mrs. Jo- seph Attlie of Hales Corner, Wise., hooked a 61-pound sturgeon in nearby Iron Lake. Mrs. Attlie and her husband were fishing for bass when the sturgeon struck, In a 90-minute tussle the fish "'stood on its tail and at times took off through the air like a sailfish," said Tomsich, but Mrs. Attlie stuck with it and got the fish up to the boat. Showing too much fight, Tomsich used his axe. Made 1 in 1956 by winning the steeple- chase. Brasher has become a popular TV and newspaper per- sonality. Boulter seems to have every- thing working for him--the uni- versity tradition, the option of: all the big meets and the faith) of his landlady. He rents the same room as) Chataway had nine years ago and the landlady's proudest pos- session is a photo of her yard | tenant taken in the backyard. Soon after Boulter made sports page headlines she took him into the yard and shot a couple of photos.
