Photographs taken at the same dual track meet appear with the articles, “How Trojans Tripped Stanford,” Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D3, and “Boys Outdo Themselves to Run Away with Meet Southern California Scores Easy 82 2-3 to 48 1-3 Win Over Rivals as Records Fall,” Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D1
Photographs of different track events at the same meet appear with the captions, "The Start of a Major Upset Picture shows Sam Klopstock, figure in white, hitting the first hurdle in yesterday's high hurdle race at the Coliseum. Bob Lyon, No. 22, went on to win for the Trojans, Klopstock taking second. Clarence Berry, third, is No. 11, while Gene Culp, No. 5, finished under orders a couple of minutes after the race had ended. He hit a hurdle and ran thereafter with only one shoe one [sic]. The time of 14.7s. tied the meet record and the result, due to Klopstock's miscalculation, was a surprise. [Times photo by Fred Coffey]," Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D1, and, "Leaping Right Down His Coach's Throat Here's Curtis McFadden of the Trojans making his winning jump of 24ft. 5in. in yesterday's meet with Stanford. McFadden had to fight his way into the event, his name not even appearing on the original entry list although he had the best competitive mark of the S.C. jumpers. Crawford and Olson of the Trojans made it a clean sweep by taking the other two places. [Times photo by Fred Coffey]," Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D3
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum's track stretches across the bottom edge on an upward angle to the left. At center, S.C. Trojan, Estel Johnson, crosses the finish line for the half-mile race. He strides through the tape facing right. Behind and to the left of Johnson, several officials cluster together at the finish line along the inside of the track. Farther down the track at left, another official stands on a riser. Athletes participate in field events at right, behind the race. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum's stands stretch across the background.
