...timed in 4:52.4, the same as Yaleman Choutean's winning time, so close was he to the Blue Sophomore at the finish rope. The race between the two was one of the closest over witnessed in the Payno Whitney Pool. At no time during the 17 1/2 laps was there more than a foot's difference between their outstretched arms. Cutler managed to maintain an influltesimal lead for the greater part of the race, but after his 16th lap turn, which was slower than usual, he lost some ground to the Yale tankman...
...last lap and a half, Cutler was trying to make up the inches he lost because of this, and went into his final turn without a breath--in other words, a sprint turn.
