As Gordy Makes Vault
Leading most of the way, Lou- isiana State sent Gordy into the pole vault with a lead of four points| over Southern California, 49 to 45.
Bill Graber, the world record holder, shot over the bar at 14 feet and Gordy'e mates implored him to match it: Gordy did so in perfect form, leaving the pair a tie which defied their further efforts but pro- tecting the Southerners lead and giving them victory, by 58 to 54.
