A similar photograph of a different 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.

The Patterson Field track at Occidental College occupies the bottom half of the image and stretches back on an angle to the left. In the mid-ground at left, several runners sprint towards the camera and to the finish line. Nearest to camera, and first to the tape, is Don Plumb of Pomona College. He raises both arms in the air as his chest meets the tape. Following behind him at left and right are Occidental College runners, Sid Todd and Ivan Belman. Meet officials stand at far right along the outer edge of the track. Crowded stands occupy the background at center and left.
