Hardin had improved the world record by more than a second in 1934 with a startling 50.6, and had been undefeated in 11 races since 1932. He coasted through the heats in 53.9, and won his semi-final in 53.2 (53.15) ahead of fastest heat winner, White – 53.4 (53.42) – and Mantikas – 53.5 (53.55), who unexpectedly beat out Dale Schofield (51.7 in the US Trials) by 0.01. The other semi was won by Patterson in 52.8. The final was marred by a strong wind against the runners in the back straight, which slowed the race by about a second. Hardin was battled by White for the first half, with the Philippines’ athlete just ahead at the fourth hurdle. Patterson caught the leaders at the next hur- dle, and it was only with two hurdles to go that Hardin got clear. Loaring finished quickly, moving from fourth to second in the last 50m.
