Spectators sit in the seats lining the interior perimeter of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The stands and spectators are below the sight line of the camera. The stands enter frame along the bottom edge, curving to the right and then back to the left. Dozens of spectators sit and mill about the stands at center. At far left, the stadium's grounds jut into view. Cars can be seen lining the inside arc of the track. The arched entrance to the stadium enters frame in the near distance at right and curves towards the left. The entrance and additional seats at left line the background.
The track and field of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum are viewed from the stands. The curve of the track passes across the bottom edge. Spectators sit in the stands lining the track in the lower left corner. Dozens of police vehicles line the inside curb of the track and face out towards camera. They follow the turn of the track from left and towards the right, extending out-of-frame. Farther back, the field stretches back through the stadium. Along the near edge of the field, four men stand with flags. Behind them, police officers stand in formation on the field. One of the track's straight-a ways lines the left edge of the field. At the far left side of the track, more people file through a tunnel and onto the track. Stands line the perimeter of the stadium as they stretch across the background.
From left to right, Chief James E. Davis and Commissioner Birnbaum walk on the field of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and towards camera during an inspection. They are viewed from a slight worm's-eye view. The two men walk between 2 rows of police officers in the near distance at center. A few other officers follow behind them. Chief Davis looks down as he inspects an officer's pistol. The officers under inspection stand in 2 rows that stretch back towards center. They stand at attention, facing right, and holding their pistols in front of them. Additional rows of officers under inspection are visible at far left. The stadium's seats stretch across the background.
Police officers stand in rows across the width of the field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. They are viewed from above. The rows shorten in length as they extend back towards the left side of the field. A dirt track wraps around the field. In the foreground, stadium seating spans the lower left corner as it slopes down towards the field. A few spectators occupy the seats. Empty stadium seating stretches across the background.
