Then Scotten jumped ahead and Stone was content to trail until the fifth lap when he began a nicely timed sprint which enabled him to turn over about ten yards to J. R. Abbott '14. Abbott held his own with Bayne, and in the third relay the race was decided when W. J. Bingham '16 outran Captain Brown. F. W. Capper '15 was anchor man, running his second race...
