Then in the last length Pringle began to tire. The rested Yurow started to close the gap. With ten yards to go only inches separated the two, and the inches were rapidly disappearing. But Pringle proved to be the champion, touching out Yurow by one-tenth of a second and sending the Eastern Championship to Harvard for the first time in 24 years...
