The camera looks across Whittier College's football field during the match-up between the Poets and the Occidental Tigers. Off-center to the left, players from both teams are caught in a pile-up near the end zone. Whittier players fall on top of one another near the front of the pile. A few players stand away from the play and nearer to the end zone at right. Behind the players, the goalpost stands in the distance, off-center to the right. In the background, a campus building rises behind the crowd at left.
