Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Wearing shorts and sleeveless shirts with their school's insignia the men are photographed mid-jump over their hurdles. The vast, empty coliseum can be seen in the distance surrounding them. Two unidentified athletes can be seen behind them approaching the final hurdle. USC defeated the Golden Bears before more than 8000 fans with a score of 82 to 49. Photograph appears with the article, "Long String of Bruin Victories Is Broken," Los Angeles Times, 21 Mar 1926: A1.
