Comparing Old Pole Vaulting Heights in Small Colleges

Another Thanks

Terrific information. This is exactly the type of data I was looking for. Just a couple of questions:

What is HEPS?
Was the Penn State Teachers meet a conference meet?
What type of meet was Mets?

Sorry for what may be dumb questions, but in those days I didn't even know what a track meet looked like.

Re: Another Thanks

Terrific information. This is exactly the type of data I was looking for. Just a couple of questions:

What is HEPS?
Ivy League + Army and Navy

Was the Penn State Teachers meet a conference meet?
yes, Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges (what were formerly Normal Schools and were designed to educate future teachers)

What type of meet was Mets?
New York Metropolitan Intercollegiates (colleges/universities in the NYC metro area)

Sorry for what may be dumb questions, but in those days I didn't even know what a track meet looked like.

Great Information

This is terrific information. The results from eastern and southern meets, does does look like the fellow's small-college pole vaulting height of 13'6" was pretty good in 1952.

Do you think these results from the east and south were pretty representative of what was happening in the rest of the country? Or were states like California more advanced?

Thanks again. I am definitely saving this information.
