...Cummings '30 ended the second leg of the journey with an additional two yards. E. E. Record '32 had difficulty in holding his own against Engle, probably the fastest quarter-miler on this side of the Mississippi. The Yale star passed him, but Record called forth a spurt in the last lap which placed him on even terms with Engle. Then came the fatal pass, and Munroe's sterling quarter. The race was clocked at 3 minutes 26 4-5 seconds, which equaled the best time of the night...

Instead, Kemp-Welch and Cambridge lifted their pace another little bit and easily...

The 288 he had posted a few minutes before justified his confidence in it, for in spite of Hagen's spurt, 288 won the National Open championship. Since then Sarazen has played round the circuit every year. No golfer has been more consistent, but many have been more brilliant.
