As Williams was hand ing off to Tedford, there was a foul-up in the steps and Williams had to dive for Tedford. Williams made the handoff successfully but he tore up the cinder track and also his arm in the process. After this almost catatrophe, Tedford turned in a starring 47.1 quarter, his best of his career. Crooks took the baton with a slight lead and held off his op ponents with a 1:50.0 half-mile.
