      American pole-vaulter (b. June 22, 1915, Long Beach, Calif.—d.

His outdoor record of 4.77 m (15 ft 73/4 in), set in 1942, and indoor record of 4.79 m (15 ft 81/2 in), set in 1943, were not broken until 1957 and 1959, respectively, and the men who broke them used more flexible aluminum poles.
