Photograph caption dated December 14, 1961 reads, "It's not all glory and fun to be the participant in the final game of the City football playoffs. It's not just playful scrimmage but work and study as well. The Birmingham Brave squad which faces Manual Arts for the crown Saturday afternoon at East Los Angeles Stadium, 2 p.m., are finding this out. (Upper photo) Coach George Goff conducts skull practice and the boys listen attentively and watch the blackboard play diagrams. How serious it is can be gathered from the face of Don McSwain, 175-pound right guard (lower photo), as he watches and listens." Pictured is Don McSwain. See image 00162662 for additional photo in this series.
