A U.S.C. Trojan is captured mid-air knocking over the bar during a high jump attempt. The landing pit sprawls along the bottom edge. Beyond it, left-of-center, the high jumper is on his descent. His chest faces the camera as he head angles down towards the ground at left and one of his legs stretches up to the right.
