Yet within less thai a year ‘he had soared to a world’s record height, 13 fect, G inches. Since then he has improved his own mark. four times until now it is 13 feet 11. 13-16 inches. Indoors, this “Vaulting Viking” adapting himself to new conditions and. a strange settingy has shattered records with the same reckless aban- don and in the brief space of a few weeks has captured the imagination of American fans as few athietcs Breaks Indoor Record Hoff broke the indoor record with a vault of 13 feet, 1 inch in his f American appearance, the Millrose games February 4, and ‘has, since steadily bettered this mark. His lat- est flight cleared the bar at 13 fect, inches. | W. Kreigsman, who serves as Nor- way’s national track and. field dirce- tor, is his coach and counselor. “Most of my athletic experience ! had been in running, cross-country | and, jumping,” Hoff explains. “I didn’t like the idea of pole vaulting, ‘but my coach was convinced I would. make, good at it. He thought my ‘building and equipment suited to this event, and finally persuaded me ; to try it. It wagn’t long before I dis- covered that it was naturally easy for me and-after that it was just a casc of developing my form.” Came Into Prominence It was in September, 1922, that Hoff tention of the athletic world with his first record vault, 13 feet, 6 inches, made at Copenhagen, Denmark, and eclipsing by. one inch the previous mark by Frank K.
