To the right of him, Charley Borah also reaches the tape and finishes a very close second. "1929" is scrolled across the front of his jersey. Behind and to the left of Charley Paddock, Murray Schultz of Caltech runs towards the tape and ultimately takes 4th place. A few more sprinters follow behind the leaders. Along the right side of the track, meet officials and hurdles line the infield. The Coliseum's empty stands stretch across the background.
