A TRIVIAL REASON
HART HUBBARD. the American negro long jumper, recently hurled himself over the collosal distance of 26ft 2.1. in at a single leap. This is a few inches better than his own world's record, but it is stated that the new record may be disallowed, owing to the referee reporting that his take-off was one inch higher than the level of the jumping pit. It seems a trivial reason for refusing a record. More often than not, the constant pounding by competitors and the subsequent raking over reduces the level of the pit. 7s? 7K 7ft
