First heat of men's 100-yard race, 1925

Negative no.A1217. August 1925. Image shows five men participating in the first heat of the men's 100-yard race. Two men have crossed the finish line while a third is just at the finish line, a fourth approaches the finish line, and a fifth brings up the rear. All are dressed in white shorts and singlets. Spectators line the course on the left; a judge can just be seen at the far right. A flagpole and house can be seen in the background. Most likely part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment.
