...Angeles, a sprinter, one Keith Lloyd, cousin of Harold Lloyd, crouched for his start, glancing nervously at his opponent. A pistol roared. Away went Lloyd. After him sprang his rival, a little Chevrolet* automobile.

Both Peck and Lundell ran the 220 in 22 seconds flat against Princeton, equalling the dual meet record. It is true that Norton is in the habit of sprinting the 220 in something like 21 2-10 seconds...
