He received his Masters Degree in eology from Fuller eological Seminary and then went on to pursue 30 years of teaching in Comparative Religions, History, Eco - nomics and American Government. He is also a very successful high school football coach, serving over 20 years as a head coach. His teams have won 11 league champi - onships and made 5 trips to the Southern California CIF finals win - ning four of the five championship contests. His players have gone on to play at every level of post high school football, including the Big Sky, Mountain West, Pack 12 and the NFL. He is very insightful and a great mentor to young people in understanding how important Christian values are in modeling a successful life. Tim Hengst - Breakfast Speaker Timothy C. Hengst graduated from Cal Lutheran (then CLC) in 1972 as an art major and was a starter at right tackle on the 1971 NAIA football championship team, one of his fondest memories. He was accepted into John Hopkins University School of Medicine directly after graduating from Cal Lutheran from where he received his graduate degree in medical and biological illus - tration, after which he illustrated for Dr. Denton Colley at the Texas Heart Institute and served as Director of Photography and Audiovisual Communications. He joined the faculty in the graduate program at Johns Hopkins and served as production manager in the graphics and illustration division and assistant professor in the graduate program. He was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association of Medical Illustra - tors in 2013. He has also worked as consultant for a commercial multimedia firm. In addition to medical illustration, he produces digital fine art using original photography and Adobe Photoshop. He has exhibited in numerous regional art shows. In so many ways, Tim Hengst has truly proven himself to be worthy of being called "a Kingsmen". He has served on the CLU sports Hall of Fame founding committee, the Alumni Board and Board of Regents, been a full time faculty member since 2001 in Multimedia, was Interim Dean of the College 2005-07 and is Executive Director of the Kings - men Shakespeare Festival, Chair of the Faculty,.faculty mentor for CLU's golf and women’s volleyball teams, a.Fresh - men Seminar Advisor, and member of the Victory Club. Tim also was rated 97.5% out of 5 points in student evaluations of him and his teaching and mentoring work at CLU...which is...an A+ rating. When Tim was once asked what was the most important thing in his life, he answered, "God, with my wife Jeanne a very close second". About the Cover Coach Shoup talks with 1966 Team Captains Dave Regalado, Tim Roettger and Mike McLean, all great leaders. Great leaders don't set out to be leaders...they set out to make a difference. They inspire confidence in their teammates be - cause it is never about the role - always about the goal. They indeed did make a difference: DAVE REGALADO : FULLBACK, NAIA DISTRICT III FRST TEAM OFFENSE; HONARABLE MENTION, NAIA ALL-AMERICAN; HONORABLE MENTION, LITTLE COAST; ALL-LUTHERAN FIRST TEAM DEFENSE TIM ROETTGER : LINEBACKER, NAIA DISTRICT III FIRST TEAM DEFENSE; ALL-LUTHERAN FIRST TEAM DEFENSE MIKE MCLEAN : END NAIA DISTRICT III FIRST TEAM OFFENSE 4 Year of The Captains This year's program is dedicated to the captains of the CLC / CLU football teams from the program's inception in 1962 to the present. God's blessing and congratulations to you all. Football Team Captains are elected by vote of the players or appointed by the coaching staff from the offense, defense and special teams based on leadership on and off the field. eir role on the field is nothing more than representing the team during the coin toss. If they are on the field during a penalty, they are typically the ones who communicate with the referee about accepting or declining the penalty.

Cal Lutheran has gained the same reputa - TT tion and nickname as a lower division University that has produced and continues to produce outstanding football coaches in great numbers for all levels of this competitive sport, including high school, college and professional. e coaches profiled on pages 6-8, are representative of the kinds of coaches that Cal Lutheran has produced and continues to be associated with. In fact, our own Coach Ben McEnroe is a prime exam - ple of the kind of coaches and how they apply themselves that have historically been produced through their nurturing at and through Cal Lutheran. It is the kind of coaching that teaches not only football skills, but values and purpose in life. Partial List of Coaches Nurtured as Kingsmen, and the list just keeps growing...

  • APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set the Following Players Comprise the 1960 Season APBA Football Player Card Set
    APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.

  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.

  • Big Division Games Already? Week 2 Has 'Em!
    NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017 (212) 450-2000 * FAX (212) 681-7573 WWW.NFLMedia.com Joe Browne, Executive Vice President-Communications Greg Aiello, Vice President-Public Relations FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NFL-REG-2 9/12/06 BIG DIVISION GAMES ALREADY? WEEK 2 HAS ’EM! Big division games? It’s never too soon for that in the NFL! And Week 2, indeed, has them! In the NFC East, you have the whole division going at it, with the New York Giants at Philadelphia and Washington at Dallas Sunday night. In the NFC South, there’s Tampa Bay-Atlanta. In the AFC East, New England comes down to visit the Jets. Also, there’s Lions-Bears, Browns-Bengals and Chiefs-Broncos among others. “One of the goals every team has is to take care of business in your division,” says Seattle Seahawks head coach MIKE HOLMGREN, whose club faces the NFC West Arizona Cardinals this week. So after a Kickoff Weekend that saw surprises (11 road teams won, the most on an opening weekend in 23 years [12 in 1983])…debuts (Heisman Trophy-winner REGGIE BUSH accounted for 141 total yards for New Orleans in rushing, receiving and returning)…and comebacks (Jets quarterback CHAD PENNINGTON posted a 123.2 passer rating vs. Tennessee in his return from shoulder surgery), the NFL comes right back in Week 2 with who-knows-what’s in store? And leave it to a player -- the Jets’ Pennington, who missed most of a whole season last year -- to capture the exuberance a player feels in the return of an NFL season.

Entraîneur d’une équipe de lycée à San José. Propos recueillis le 24 février 2014 en marge d’une conférence à USC. « It was like you had black kids from New York in the 1960s being coached by white men from Mississippi. The cultural disconnect was that drastic. France, because of its colonies, half the team is black. There was a serious disconnect between the players and the staff. When I was a rookie, we had 3 meetings: one to manage your money, one for security matters, one to handle lovers. All this was meant to protect the NBA brand, the corporate brand. We’re athletes, but we’re more than athletes. I would love to see these corporations consider athletes as individuals, just as they consider themselves.
