Led by Co-Captains John Bob Asking Turner and Don Edgar, the Red and White played inspired football, but the opposition always proved to be too strong. Dave Wong The highlight of the season was the Spartan upset of the College of Sequoias at the Grape Festival in Exeter. Playing heads up football all the way, the Placerites downed their opponents 12 to 7. George Updegraff, end, and Pete Riolo, halfback, were responsible for scoring Placer's points. George Updegraff was voted the most valuable player on the squad. The former Alameda High star was also high scorer for the Spartan cleat team. 01, A ... ilu e.,a.h.r
