Finish of men's 100-yard race, 1925

Negative no.A1218. August 1925. Image shows three men at the finish line of the men's 100-yard race. The man in the center has his arms raised in triumph, but the man partially seen on the left appears to be ahead of him. All three are dressed in white shorts and singlets. Spectators line the course on the left; a judge appears to look on 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.
