Gutowski Eyes 6 -Fool- Barrier In Pole Vault New York (U.R) The 16 foot pole vault will be the next major track and field "barrier" to be broken, says Bob Gutow ski. of. Occidental college, a young man who believes he can do it. Gutowski, a wiry, 21-year-old 145-pounder, made the best vault of his life and narrowly missed setting a world record when he skyrocketed 15 feet, six inches to tie Rev. Bob Rich ards of Los Angeles for the Mill- rose title Saturday night. "The way we're vaulting now we'll reach 16 feet definitely within the next two years," Gutowski said. "I hope to be the one to do it and I think maybe I can." Charlie Franklin, University of. Oregon's tricky junior for ward, has taken a real liking to his role as a part-time post man. In the last five games Franklin has scored 119 points, topped by his 36 against Washington State at Pullman. CAP YOUR TIRES or exchange your smooth tires for our Recapped Tires.
