Notes

Description

The camera looks across the Coliseum's field during a USC and Oregon State football game. A play occurs on the field in the near distance at center. A USC Trojan runs with the football, off-center to the left. He is partially obscured by an approaching Oregon State defender in front of him. A few more Oregon State defenders chase after him from the left. Tackling plays away from the ball occur to the right. Crowds fill the Coliseum's stands as they stretch across the background.
