Lap after lap Cunningham piled on speed, locked in a picture race with Mangan and Pennsylvania's Gene Venzke who followed in close Indian-file pursuit at his back. Coming out of the last turn, 40 yd. from the finish, Mangan gave his kick, sprinted. This time Cunningham did not swerve. Ten yards from the finish Mangan passed him and, timed at 4:11. won his fastest mile by a foot. A foot behind Mangan and a foot ahead of Cunningham, in a race that seemed...
