iRas, Montgomery Vie Again iFor Coast Vaulting Crown Co-Champs to Mee 1 Four More Times George Rasmussen, Oregon’s ace pole vaulter, proved himself in. line more nationwide recog nition by tying Trojan John Montgomery for the Pacific coast crown with a masterful 14 foot 4 inch jump in Seattle last Saturday.
