Reprint  (5-27-03) of excerpt  below the newspaper photo above:

 

Big Upset -- Frank Wykoff Defeats Foy Draper and George Boone at the 1936 Pre-Olympic Track & Field Races.

 

"Frank Wykoff, world's 100-yard record-holder, today (5-20-36) had the spotlight of the sports world focused upon him as the result of his great victory last night in the pre-Olympic meet at Whittier college when he staged a sensational "comeback" to win the 100-meter race from Foy Draper and George Boone in 10.5 seconds.  He is shown (above) breaking the tape (ahead of) his rivals in this fast-time.  This was one-tenth of a second faster than he ran eight years ago in winning the American Olympics trials and bettered his own mark of 10.6 seconds for the distance."
