Oscar Sutermeister '32, Harvard's intercollegiate pole-vault champion, will be unable to defend his title at the I. C. 4A games at Philadelphia next Friday and Saturday. Examination yesterday revealed that the pulled tendon suffered by the vaulter in his first broad jump in the Yale meet will keep him out of action for several weeks; he expects, however, to be able to compete against Oxford and Cambridge in London on July 18.
Sutermeister won his title in the Stadium last year, with a vault of 13 feet 6 inches, eight other entrants tieing for second place. The world's mark is 14 feet 1 1-2 inches.
