SMALL COLLEGE FOOTBALL: CLU RESCUES ITS LAUGHER WIN FOR HAPPY HOMECOMING CLU 40, CHAPMAN 28.Byline: Chris Cocoles Staff Writer THOUSAND OAKS Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964. Avocados, citrus, vegetables, strawberries, and nursery products are grown. - This was a buried opponent, if not an embarrassed one. A 31-point lead halfway through the second quarter suggested a laugher was in process. By the end of the day, it became a serious struggle. But Cal Lutheran ultimately had the happy homecoming it started out as. The Kingsmen held off Chapman 40-28 in front of 2,000 at Mt. Clef Stadium on Saturday.

It consists of eleven small private schools which are located in Southern California and organized into eight athletic programs. play beginning this Saturday at Redlands. ``It opens our eyes,'' Kingsmen quarterback Casey Preston said of letting most of a 34-6 first-half lead slip away by the fourth quarter, when Chapman closed to within 34-28. ``We're playing a great team in Redlands, and we know we can't just play one half of football.'' Granted, it was an impressive half. And the final 3 minutes, 41 seconds of the first quarter were surreal. CLU stunned Chapman (2-4) for 28 points in that stretch. Two Panthers fumbles recovered inside their 20 were converted into Devin Martin touchdown runs. The Kingsmen then wounded Chapman psychologically by recovering an onside kick onside kick n.

Preston, not told the onside kick was coming, made it a quick drive by throwing a 52-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Phillips For the professional Canadian football player of the same name, see .

A blocked punt led to one score. Then Paul Nelson's 49-yard punt return In American and Canadian football a punt return is one of the punt receiving team's options to respond to a punt. A player (usually a second or third string wide receiver or running back) positioned many yards from the line of scrimmage will attempt to catch or pick up the ball to made it a six-point game with 3:20 left in the third. ``When something like that happens, you find yourself looking around saying, `What's going on What's Going On is a record by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. Released on May 21, 1971 (see 1971 in music), What's Going On reflected the beginning of a new trend in soul music. ?' It's a matter of looking at your teammates in the eyes wondering who's going to step up,'' said Kingsmen receiver Jimmy Fox, who before Saturday had just six receptions but caught nine for 99 yards against Chapman. Answering the Nelson punt return, the Kingsmen strung together an 11-play drive that resulted in Alex Espinoza's third of four field goals to restore some cushion at 37-28. The memory of watching Menlo College rally for a 22-17 win with a second remaining last week was easy to remember. ``I don't think we got complacent, but we didn't take care of responsibilities and we lost the momentum that we had,'' said CLU linebacker Ryan Tukua, who made two pivotal recoveries - the onside kick and a fumble in the fourth quarter with Chapman driving and still down just 12. ``The fourth quarter we finally got it together. We weren't going to let it happen again what happened last week.'' |
