Show "Norway's Nurmi" Coming to the United States Charles Hoff, Norwegian all-around athlete and holder of the world's pole vault record, plans to come to the United States to make his home in this country, according to word received re-ceived from Oslo, capital of Norway. Hoff who was characterized during the last Olympics as the "world's greatest all-around athlete" by Head Coach Lawson Robertson of the American Amer-ican team, agreed to come here early in the winter for the Millrose A. A. indoor carnival. Complications in his affairs at home, however, prevented him from making the trip at that time. Hoff, whose pole vault record is 13 feet 9 inches was unable to compete in his favorite event at the Olympics because of a heel bruise. He ran in the S00 meters, however, and was placed in the finals. |
