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 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. [Times photo by Fred Coffey]," Los Angeles Times, 06 May 1934: D1, and, "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 The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum track spans the width of the bottom edge as it stretches back on an angle to the left. In the mid-ground, S.C. and Stanford sprinters race towards the camera as they approach the finish line. At center, an S.C. runner crosses the finish line first. He runs with his arms stretched out wide as his chest meets the tape. Two more S.C. Trojans follow behind him at left and 2 Stanford sprinters chase him at right. Along the right edge, several meet officials stand on a stepped riser on the inside of the track. In the distance, meet participants mill about the playing field and the stadium's stands stretch across the background. Text from negative sleeve: TRACK, S.C. VS. STANFORD, 1934
