This is the third of an entertaining serics of stories by Charles Hoff. world record holder and greatest polc vaulter of all time. He recounts his athletic life from a fragile boy to the best eH-around athlete in the world. BY CHARLES HOFF.

T didn’t ask any questions, just did as he told me, blindly, and really be- lieved my coach had decided I was to hecome a hurdler. T was not very strong at that time, and hurdling was rather a strain. But even then I had the height for the high hurdles, and the result wasn't too bad; I took part in a junior competition and ran a dead run with the winner. : When I, delighted with the result, came over to Kreigsman, he said only: “I knew you were that good, but I don't suppose you believe you are going to specialize as hurdler 1 said yes, that was what I had be- lieved, as long as I had thrown away so much time on it. “I have let you do hurdling only to | ouure. going 1o become 4 poe: | HOFF'S IMPRESSION ; OF HIS FIRST TRY AT POLE VAULTING 1 thought he joking, because nothing had been | rther from my mind than that.

But no, one | day when the hurdling didn't go as | well as usual and he saw a pole lving around, he told me to try vaulting. Much against my will T took the pole and jumped, without any bar, less than 1 was able to, to get him way from the idea of making me be- come a pole vaulter. Probably he saw that I had the na- tural ability to do it, because he never gave me any peace after that. I had to train at pole vaulting two hours a day, and even though 1 was very much afraid of the bar, after an acci- dent I had had some time before that in & high jump, T was able to do 10 feet after two weeks' training.

ADAMS MOTOR €O 2015 14th St. N.W Potomac 2 Leaves from MURIEL'S {Monday} Tom and Fred are friends once more! And Tom says I had a lot to do in bring- ing them together again. They had a terrible argument ten years ago when they were seniors at Yale and until last night, haven’t spoken to one another since. They were both invited to the Hardwicks’ for dinner, and it was most embarrassing when they met. But Tom is something of a diplomat. To break the ice he said “Would you take Muriel in to dinner, Fred.” «I'll say I will!” ex- claimed Fred, accepting me eagerly. «I still love her as much as you do.” “Remember how we both used to boost Muriel when we were at college,” Tom replied, “and tell all the other fellows you couldn’t beat a blend of fine Havana and milder tobaccos for a real smoke?” And before the evening was over, they were inseparable. » The Cigar That's Just Right ither too heavy . . - nor too Neither 100 50" heperfect Club Perfecto 10c Other sizes 2 for 25¢, 15¢, 3 for 50c Ak e 5 DANIEL LOUGHRAN CoO., INC, Washin gtoa Distiibutors Dist. of Columbta . 1
