Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Bud Houser was an American athlete who participated in the 1924 Olympics where he won gold medals for shot put and discus, and the 1928 Olympics where he retained his title in the discus throw. Bud Houser engaged in the discus throw wearing the track uniform of the University of Southern California, where he was a student from 1922 to 1926. An unidentified man wearing a suit looks on in the background. There is a chalk circle on the grass, and the stands in the stadium appear empty.
