Here, previously unbeaten Villanova went out of the race on a fumbled baton, and it was a two-team race for the last three quarters. French Anderson lost a couple of yards to Gerald Ryan of Manhattan, but Al Wills won them back with a 49.8 turn, and Wharton took the baton only four yards behind Dick Simmons of the Jaspers.
