Description:: The camera looks across the field at Whittier College during the 1925 football game between Occidental College and Whittier College. Off-center to the left, the majority of the players are tangled up in a pile-up. Oxy Tiger center, Solly Mishkin, carries the ball in front and at the center of the pile-up. He drops to his knees as Whittier's defenders tackle him from behind. Crowds fill the stands in the background. Off-center to the right, a campus building rises behind the stands.
