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.
