It's 1939, and a certain young man from Mansfield Ohio...

by the name of John Linta sets the world interscholastic pole vault record with his 13' 9 5/8" vault at the state meet. This photo, probably not from the state meet, is of John Linta courtesy the Victoria Daily Times (British Columbia, CAN).

Edit: In looking at the background of the picture, this may indeed be from the state meet at Ohio Stadium. I see what appears to be the top of a stadium, and a number of columns of stairs descending from the top. This reminds me of Ohio Stadium.
