Maybe someone who ran that race can enlighten us? The explanation in the article doesn't really make a lot of sense given the time discrepancies.
The race website
http://www.falmouthroadrace.com/past-winnersgives a still different time for Rodgers:

1. Bill Rodgers GBTC 32:31 CR
2. Mike Roche New Jersey 32:37

4. Mike Slack Minn, MN 33:02
5. Greg Fredericks State College, PA 33:04
6. Hillary Tuwei U. Richmond (KEN) 33:07
7. Bruce Bickford Northestern TC 33:10
8. Bob Hodge GBTC 33:12
9. Greg Meyer GBTC 33:18
10. Alberto Salazar GBTC 33:20

This was back in the day before everyone wore a Casio watch.
I believe the race route is exactly the same at least since 1974.
