Photographs of different track events at the same meet appear with the captions, "The Start of a Major Upset Picture shows Sam Klopstock, figure in white, hitting the first hurdle in yesterday's high hurdle race at the Coliseum. Bob Lyon, No. 22, went on to win for the Trojans, Klopstock taking second. Clarence Berry, third, is No. 11, while Gene Culp, No. 5, finished under orders a couple of minutes after the race had ended. He hit a hurdle and ran thereafter with only one shoe one [sic]. The time of 14.7s. tied the meet record and the result, due to Klopstock's miscalculation, was a surprise.

McFadden had to fight his way into the event, his name not even appearing on the original entry list although he had the best competitive mark of the S.C. jumpers. Crawford and Olson of the Trojans made it a clean sweep by taking the other two places. [Times photo by Fred Coffey]," Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D3 Off-center to the right, a Stanford vaulter is captured falling through the air after he crosses over the bar during a vault attempt. His body is angled towards camera and facing right. He stretches his arms over his head. Near the top edge, the bar stretches across the image. On the ground at center, a man stands with his back to camera and reaches out towards the vaulter's pole, which stands vertically on the near side of the bar. In the distance, the field stretches back towards the stadium's seats, which line the background. A scoreboard stands in front of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum's main entrance, right-of-center. Photographs taken at the same dual track meet appear with the articles, “How Trojans Tripped Stanford,” Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D3, and “Boys Outdo Themselves to Run Away with Meet Southern California Scores Easy 82 2-3 to 48 1-3 Win Over Rivals as Records Fall,” Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D1 Handwritten on negative: 10 Text from negative sleeve: TRACK, S.C.
