...were two Michigan men, Tower and May. On the third lap the Michigan runners began to close up, and at the three-quarters had passed McGee. Paull continued to run entirely alone forty yards ahead and finished the race in a splendid sprint that seemed to cause him no effort. McGee managed to regain third place at the beginning of the last lap and on the final stretch made a desperate effort that brought him second place ahead of Tower.
