It was little more than four years ago that this slim, dark-haired young- ster--then 19 and now only 23-first took a vaulting pole in his hands. Yet within less than a year he had soared to a world's record height, 13 feet 6 in- ches. Since then he has improved hisI own mark four times until now it is 13 feet 11 13-16 inches. Indoors, this "Vaulting Viking,'" adapting himself to. new conditions and a strange setting, has shattered records with this same reckless aban- don. W. Kreigsman, who serves as Nor- way's national track and field direc- tor, is his coach and counselor. "Most of my athletic experience had been in running, cross-country and jumping," Hoff explains. "I didn't like the idea of pole vaulting, but my coach was convinced I would make good at it. He thought my build and equipment suited to this event and finally persuaded me to try it.
