Photograph caption date stamped September 2, 1957 reads, "It's later than you think, late enough for football. Digging into training for the 1957 season are the Pierce College Brahmas and the Valley College Monarchs, who open practice tomorrow. On the left, Head Coach Tex Chason, right, checks over equipment list. Tackle Tom Wehrcamp sits on bench while Line Coach Bill Ford, left, End Gary Christensen, Center Dean Westman and Tackle Leonard Doctor look on. At right, Monarch Co-Captain and Quarterback Jim Erbes weighs in as Center Vic Belfiore, one of Valley's few returning lettermen, stands by with load of equipment and Head Coach Al Hunt, right, greets his charges with a welcoming smile. Although natural rivals, the two Valley schools do not meet this year."
