The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum track stretches across the foreground. Just beyond it, U.S.C. Trojan, Curtis McFadden, appears to hover in mid-air at center as he broad jumps. He is viewed from the side and faces right. His legs extend straight in front of him as he leans his chest towards his legs. His arms fly back behind him. On the far side of the landing pit, several meet officials stand in a row alongside the pit and face towards camera. A marker behind and to the left of McFadden reads, "23 6." The stadium's seats stretch across the background.
This photograph appears 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
Text from newspaper caption, Leaping Right Down His Coach's Throat Here's Curtis McFadden of the Trojans making his winning jump of 24ft. 5in. in yesterday's meet with Stanford. 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]
