The camera looks across the field at Whittier College during the 1925 football game between Occidental College and Whittier College. Off-center to the left, the majority of the players are tangled up in a pile-up. Oxy Tiger center, Solly Mishkin, carries the ball in front and at the center of the pile-up. He drops to his knees as Whittier's defenders tackle him from behind. Crowds fill the stands in the background. Off-center to the right, a campus building rises behind the stands.

WHITTIER BOWS TO TIGER CREW," Los Angeles Times, 1 Nov. 1925: A1 Text from newspaper caption: Why Football Players Don't Life Long It looks as if Solly Mishkin, Oxy halfback, who has the ball and is not only the center but on the bottom of the pile-up pictured below, were due for a trip to the hospital, but he survived. In fact, Mr. Mishkin not only survived but he went touring on several long runs through the Whittier defense after the pile-up below happened. Solly was one of the outstanding stars of Oxy's 13-to-0 victory over the Poets yesterday.
