Clarence Berry, Bob Lyon, Sam Klopstock and Gene Culp start the high hurdles race during the S.C. and Stanford dual track meet, Los Angeles, 1934

Description:
The high hurdles race at the S.C. and Stanford dual track meet is seen from a bird's-eye view at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The track, off-center to the left, sits below camera-level and stretches straight back. The hurdlers are captured mid-leap as they cross the first set of hurdles near the bottom edge. From left to right, the runners are: Clarence Berry (S.C.), Bob Lyon (S.C.), Sam Klopstock (Stanford) and Gene Culp (S.C.). Klopstock appears in the lead, but knocks over his hurdle. Along the inside edge of the track at left, meet officials line the straight-away. Other meet officials and participants mill about the field. In the distance at right, spectators fill a few sections of the stands near the race's finish line. Empty stadium seats stretch across the background at center and left.

Curtis McFadden broad jumps during the S.C. and Stanford dual track meet, Los Angeles, 1934

Description:
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum track stretches across the foreground. Just beyond it, U.S.C. Trojan, Curtis McFadden, appears to hover in mid-air at center as he broad jumps. He is viewed from the side and faces right. His legs extend straight in front of him as he leans his chest towards his legs. His arms fly back behind him. On the far side of the landing pit, several meet officials stand in a row alongside the pit and face towards camera. A marker behind and to the left of McFadden reads, "23 6." The stadium's seats stretch across the background.

Dick Pollard of Pomona College noses out Mel Caldwell of Occidental College to win the 880-yard race during a dual track meet, Los Angeles, 1932

Description:
The Patterson Field track at Occidental College enters frame at left and along the bottom edge; it stretches back towards center. In the mid-ground, half-mile racers Dick Pollard (left), of Pomona College, and Mel Caldwell (right), of Occidental College approach the tape at the end of the race. All runners run towards the camera. Dick Pollard is a half-step nearer to the finish line than Mel Caldwell. Caldwell appears to lean forward to make up the gap. Meet officials along both the right and left edges hold up the tape at the finish line. Bob McKee runs a few strides behind and to the right of his teammate, Mel Caldwell. Spectators watch the race from the stands that line the track at left. In the background at center, Swan Hall rises beyond the track.
