Cunningham, San Romani, and Venzke were at the start ready to go when Lash announced he would also run the mile. But Lash did not prove to be the iron man for he was far behind at the end of race. The first half was slow, and Cunningham had plenty of strength to send him out ahead at the finish. The finish was fast, but the time, 4:13.8, two seconds slower than his time last year...

In the one and a half-mile feature race, little Archie San Romani of Kansas State Teachers College outran both Rideout twins, who finished shoulder to shoulder, by 200 yds.
