Description
A player reaching for the ball during a football game, Los Angeles, ca. 1922. The defender leaps off the field and reaches high for the ball, which has sailed past him and towards a player at the right whose hands are extended to catch the pass. Several other players and who appears to be a referee are also nearby. In the background is part of the stadium, which appears to have a section built against a pile of dirt and rock. There are no inscriptions as to date, teams and location. Part of the upper left corner is missing and there are some edge tears and curvature of the paper, so the overall condition is fair.
