Description:: The camera captures Charley Paddock and Charley Borah leaping to the tape in a photo finish of a record-setting 100 yd race in the Coliseum. At center, Charley Paddock lifts his arms and takes the tape with him as he leaps across the line. In this race, he set a world record of 9.5 seconds. 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.
