Yale Star Sets World Record in Pole Vault
Keith Brown of Yale cleared 14 feet 5 1 8 inches to set a world record in the pole vault at the intercollegiate meet. Southern California dominated the team standings, while upsets and record performances highlighted a dramatic two-day event in Cambridge. Brown's mark surpassed the previous world best, though a prior 14 feet 4 3 8 inches was ruled invalid due to faulty take-off.
