...that Corbin would get first prize in the half mile run out of the clutches of Will Wright himself? Or that Wright of Harvard would have to content himself with second place, owing to an unfortunate misunderstanding about the exact position of the finish line?

Yet such was the actual condition of things, and perhaps this very departure from the conception of how things ought to have been was what made the athletic...
...made their finish where they are accustomed to and then slowed down. Sanford, the Yale man, kept pegging along, meanwhile, and before the Harvard men realized what had happened, he had won the race in 52 2-5 seconds - time which at least three Harvard men can easily beat...
