California Hit
By Big Storm
On Week End
DENVER, March 17 Ui A late
winter storm that hit southern
California with rain, snow and
a baby tornado rolled east toward
the Rockies Monday on a long
north-south front. ;
The storm, which "produced
. weekend of bitter weather in the
Los Angeles area, was lashing
portions of Arizona. Nevada, wy
oming, Utah and western New
Mexico with ram and snow.
In southern California, where
four persons lost their lives as a
result of the combination of mlz-
zards, rain and windstorms, skies
were generally clearing.
But the effects of the storm
were just beginning to be felt in
states to the east.
Ely, Nev. reported 20 Inches of
snow at 5:30 a. m. There were
varying degrees of precipitation.
Snow fell in western Wyoming
and Utah and snow and rain
showers In Arizona. Some rain
and snowfall was reported in
western New- Mexico.
The weather bureau said the
storm probably would beat Itself
out on the western slope of the
Rockies In Wyoming, Colorado
and New Mexico, although some
of its effects probably would be
lelt in eastern Wyoming.
The snowfall was mostly light
over Utah with' roads open and
no known casualties or suffering.
The California storm was cap
ped by a freak twister that swept
through Santa Monica yesterday.
It whirled a half-completed skiff
through the air, blew down a tile
garage building onto three cars,
knocked over a brick chimney
and fireplace, shattered' windows
and collapsed several boats.

car were Hunsen nnd the throe

The defense of the minor girl
in a trial yesterday evening that

hinged around the contention that
she did not drink the intoxicant,
but merely opened a bottle for

WASHINGTON March 17 F
As my old friend, Dr. Henry
Canby, looks at It, young Ameri
ca has learned how to breathe In
the past two decades.
Dr. Canby, who Is connected
with the dental division of the
District health service, referred
to breathing as practiced by ath
letes, particularly runners and
jumpers.
"A runner or a jumper," Hank
told me at lunch, "has to know
how to breathe. When I was
competing, It wasn't so important.
Track records were pretty fancy
then but they are fancier now."
When I knew Henry Canby at
the University of Iowa he was a
dental student. He was serious
about his studies, but he also was
serious about his track ability.
Henry was .a polo vaulter. In
1930 he and a fine vaulter named
McDdrmott from Illinois traded
weekends breaking the indoor
world's record. When the records
finally were inked into the books
mat year, Henry had it. mm
a dirt and cinder runway 13
reet, 7 and one-half inches.
"If I had been Jumping off a
board runway, with a better grip
on my cleats, I could have clear
ed 14 feel," he said.
Today at least four jumpers
have cleared 15 feet. They do It,
according to Henry,- because they
know how to breathe on the take
off, and because they use a dif
ferent kind of pole.
"We used to use a bamboo pole
that didn't straighten out when
you needed the final kick," he
said. "Today, a metal pole Is
used. It comes up perpendicular
when you are about to cross the
bar. It has more strength, which
Is imporlant."
Henry says that when a kid
wants to become a pole vaulter
he ought to make up his mind
early. Henry did Just that on his
dad's farm near Olds, Iowa. He
started at the age of five, pitch
forking his way over the hedges.
He doesn't recommend that meth
od because a pitchfork is danger
ous. A kid can get hurt, nut that
is the way he learned it.
In high school he hit 11 feet,
D'a inches, which was good In
those days and could win a lot
of dual meets today, too.
"You have to love this pole
vaulting business to keep at it,"
the dentist said. "Most of the
moderns who are setting the rec
ords do better after they leave
school when they get to be 25
to 27. That is their icak. They
have perfected what we never did
the delayed pull-up, meaning
riding up the pole, instead of let
ting the pole pull you up."
But getting back to this breath
ing business. In pole vaulting, ac
cording to Canby, you fill your
lungs before you sprint to the
takeoff. And maybe you gulp in
a little ozone oerore you kick
yourself over the bar.
In running It's a little different.
Thirty years ago a hundred yard
dash man used to puff and steam
to make it in 10 seconds. Today,
a man takes on a load of air and
gasps a couple of times and winds
up a few tenths of a second fast
er.
Will there ever be a four-min
ute mile.
"Before you have a four-minute
mile, you'll see a 16-foot pole
vault."
