    1. Select one heading for each university team playing in the game depicted in the photo.
    2. Examine the photo to determine which team has possession of the football and assign a subject heading for possession. If it is not clear which player/team has possession, such as in a photo where the ball is not visible, this heading may be left out.
    3. 3. Add one or more subject headings to express the event(s) or action(s) occurring in the photo.
