Occidental track athlete, Joe Forbes, looks to camera and smiles for an informal portrait during a track meet. He is viewed from the chest up, off-center to the right. Patterson Field stretches behind him. Further back, the field is lined by the stadium's stands.
A photograph of a race at the same meet appears under the title, "SURPRISE VICTOOR IN HALF MILE," and with the caption, "Here's Dick Pollard, left, as he hit the tape to win the 880 for Pomona in yesterday's meet with Occidental. The Sagehen sophomore has just nosed out Mel Caldwell of Oxy at the finish. Bob McKee is the man to the rear, while Nord, who finished third, is hidden by Caldwell.
