Visual Materials
A slightly elevated panoramic view of the November 1923 game between the University of California and the University of Southern California, held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. The stands are mostly filled, with the exception of some of the higher areas on the far side of the stadium. Small groups of what appear to be military men are seated on chairs on the track surrounding the field. The game is in progress, with the two teams in the middle of a series near midfield. There are men positioned at several places along the near sideline and beyond the far end-zone with photographic cameras, and one man near midfield has a motion picture camera. There is a very tall flag pole on the far right with a large American flag. A large number of automobiles are parked on the far right, beyond the open part of the stadium, where there are a couple hundred people watching the game over the stadium fence.
