Knowles set a hard pace for the second lap and was well in the lead at the beginning of the stretch, but was unable to spurt at the finish. In the high jump the work of Eillis was excellent.

...yards ahead of White. Clark started the last relay fifty yards behind the leader, and ran a strong race all the way, gaining gradually on the Cornell runner, whom he passed at the three-quarters mark.
