Default Players Appearing Twice in a Panoramic Photo - Tell Me about the Camera

In some vintage panoramic photos you will see the same player(s) twice, once at each side of the team. Here three guys, including Oakes and Camnitz, managed to bookend the photo:

This clearly involved a mad dash around the photographer. I am curious about the camera technology that would make this mad dash work --- can anyone explain to me how these cameras worked?

Given the crisp images it seems like the shutter speed was pretty fast otherwise I would think some players would be a little blurry because of subtle movements. But, if it was a pretty fast exposure I don't know how the players would have time to make the run to the other end.

I am looking forward to your input, thanks!
