John Gilbert Luebtow Glass Sculptor - “Blue Slipper Guy” John Gilbert Luebtow graduated with a BA from Cal Lutheran in 1966. Since his graduation he has additionally obtained two distinct MFAs from UCLA in ceramics and glass, becoming one of the most respected names in contemporary glass sculpture. Luebtow has devoted much of his career to teaching in Los Angeles and completing major commissions for public and private corporations including Hewlett Packard (HP), ARCO, American Airlines, NESTLE (Carnation), and SCRIPPS Research Institute. In terms of Cal Lutheran’s football traditions, John’s “aura” emerged in 1964 when the Kingsmen traveled to Colorado to face a very tough Colorado College. It was John’s best game with Cal Lutheran winning 29-6. When the team was leaving after the game, the motel maid found a dusty, dirty old pair of women’s blue slippers in John’s room and this became “the mystical good luck charm” that set the stage for multiple years of winning seasons, national rankings and a national championship.

About the Cover Our program cover for this 5th consecutive 5th Quarter Reunion Banquet illustrates a true milestone in not only the fifth operating year of the 5th Quarter Football Club, but in the 50 years of Cal Lutheran Kingsmen Football. e upper portion is from the picture of our own Hall of Fame coach, Robert Shoup being lifted in the air by his 1971 team signifying...#1, we did it, we're the best!."

Cal Lutheran Has Become a West Coast “Cradle of Coaches”

T

he Cradle of Coaches is a nickname originally given to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for producing many great Division I Football Coaches. Cal Lutheran has gained the same reputation 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 example 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.

The Coaching Legacy from Cal Lu Dave Aranda Aranda graduated from Cal Lutheran in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy. In 2002, he earned his master's degree in interdisciplinary studies at Texas Tech. Aranda spent two years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at his alma mater, California Lutheran, where the Kingsmen led the conference in scoring defense and total defense. It was his second go-around with California Lutheran after serving as an assistant from 1996-99, while finishing his degree. Dave Aranda returns for his third season as Wisconsin's defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach in 2015.Under Aranda's watch, Wisconsin's defense has allowed an average of 299.4 yards per game, ranking third among FBS programs over the last two seasons and trailing only Louisville (280.5) and Michigan State (282.9). e Badgers have allowed an average of 18.6 points per game over the last two seasons, the sixth-best mark in the FBS during that span. Wisconsin also ranks No. 5 nationally in passing defense over the past two seasons at 184.6 yards allowed per game and No. 7 in rushing defense at 114.7 yards allowed per contest. e Badgers have allowed just 27 rushing touchdowns in the 27 games Aranda has coached. Aranda spent the 2012 season at Utah State. As the defensive coordinator at USU, he oversaw an Aggies defense that ranked eighth in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 15.4 points per game. During the 2011 season at Hawai`i, Aranda's defense led the Western Athletic Conference and was tied for 15th in the FBS in sacks with 35. In 2010, Aranda's Hawai`i defense led the nation in turnovers caused (38), while ranking second in the nation in interceptions (23) and ninth in fumbles recovered (15), as well as tying the school record for most defensive touchdowns with five.

George Engdahl Class of 1965 George Engdahl is "a self-proclaimed jock of the first order" who obtained his undergraduate degree in history from Cal Lutheran in 1965 and was an early Kingsmen football player. While obtaining his undergraduate degree in history at California Lutheran University, Engdahl had set his sights on becoming a professor. After completing his master's degree in European history at California State University - Northridge, he received an instructor appointment at Cal Lutheran. "I was working on my Ph.D. at UCLA," says Engdahl, "teaching history and serving as the head freshman football coach for Cal Lutheran, when the university went through a major financial crisis." at crisis led Engdahl to work in Cal Lutheran's development office. "I had no intention of staying in development," he says. "I wanted to help the college meet its financial needs." Bitten by the development bug however, he found his true passion. "I put my Ph.D. on hold and began making asks for a living." He has had many successful assignments in capital campaigning for Augustana College, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the Chicago Symphony, Columbus Cabrini Medical Center, the Newberry Library, the University of Denver, the Parkland Foundation and even returned to Cal Lutheran at one pont as the Senior Vice President of University Advancement to execute CLU's successful $80 million comprehensive capital campaign.

Tom Herman Cal Lutheran – '97, Wide Receiver – 1994-1997 He was an all-conference receiver at Cal Lutheran. How’s this for love of the game? During his high school and college playing career, Herman had four shoulder surgeries and 13 knee surgeries, at one point doctors growing a piece of his cartilage in a lab to create enough of it to properly patch the joint, according to an ESPN.com story. Herman earned his B.S. degree in business administration from Cal Lutheran in 1997, where he graduated cum laude and was a Presidential Scholarship recipient. Herman received his masters degree in Education from Texas. Tom's first coaching job was with Texas Lutheran as a Receivers Coach for $5,000.00, even sleeping in the locker room as a graduate assistant at the University of Texas at Austin, but has made a swift ascent up the coaching ladder with Texas State, Sam Houston State, Rice, Iowa and Ohio State University, leaving substantial improvements and reputation behind with every experience. As Offensive Coordinator, his teams at OHIO State University averaged 44.1 points per game and this past year Ohio State won the Big Ten Championship. 2014 – RECIPIENT OF THE BROILES AWARD - Every year, 1,500 assistant coaches representing all 117 Division One college football programs vote on their peers in the world of college football, and the five Broyles Award finalists are chosen by the tally of these ballots. From these five, one is chosen and in 2014 it was Tom Herman. Late in 2014, Tom Herman landed his "dream job"...Head Coach at the University of Houston. He and wife Michelle have three children – a girl, Priya; and two sons, Maddock and Maverick.

Chase King '2008 As a Kingsmen Player, King was a three-year starter at linebacker for CLU and helped the Kingsmen to the 2007 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship. He was a three-time Academic All-SCIAC selection. A native of Gridley, Calif., Chase earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing communications from California Lutheran University in 2008. He completed work on a master’s degree in business administration (marketing) from CLU in 2011. Upon graduation he was hired as the Defensive Back coach for the 2011-2012 football seasons by St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, another NCAA Division III school. At St. Olaf he coached one All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference second team player, and three honorable mention choices. In 2012, the Oles’ pass defense ranked 15th nationally in NCAA Division III. In 2013 he accepted an offer from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, an NCAA Division II school as the Tight Ends Coach. Augustana’s tight ends accounted for 153 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 2013 and return two bookends that received extensive playing time last season. Nick Lee appeared in all 11 games last season, making seven starts, and was named Academic All-NSIC. Chase King begins his third season with the Augustana football program and is working to achieve some breakthroughs this season.

Tim Lins '85, M.A. '94, Years at Cal Lutheran: 1981-1985 Tim Lins arrived at Cal Lutheran from Cerritos College in 1980 and made an immediate impact on the football field. At CLU, Lins was coached by Bob Shoup. "Bob was a master of the passing game," he said. "I learned a lot about the passing game with him." During the 1981 and 1982 seasons, Lins caught 77 passes, scored 12 touchdowns and racked up 974 yards. His efforts helped lead those teams to back-to-back NAIA District 3 Championships.Lins was named to the NAIA All-America First Team both years as a Kingsmen and is one of only three two-time NAIA All-America First Team selections in CLU history. Tim has spent 27 years of his life in coaching high school football. After spending ten years at Encino Crespi, he moved to Coach at Moorpark High School at which he has now coached for 17 years and won over 100 games, taken Moorpark to the playoffs 13 times, including four trips to the CIF finals. He was also the first NFL-ABC7 High School Coach of the Week honoree this past year.

Joe Monarrez '88 As a Kingsmen, Monarrez was recruited out of Antelope Valley High where he was All Golder League as a receiver in football. "I got a letter from Cal Lutheran that said they passed 40-50 times a game," Monarrez said. "I told my high school coach about it. He said, 'at's the school for you.' " He graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and minor in Physical Education. Monarrez played on the freshmen team his first year and played sparingly as a sophomore. As a Junior he felt he had a good chance to start until the coaching staff decided to go with Gran. After Gran went down with a separated shoulder, he caught seven passes for 92 yards and a touchdown against Southern Utah. Monarrez's three touchdown receptions the following week against Azusa Pacific tied a single-game school record. In his final game as a Senior against St. Mary's, Monarrez was voted All Western Conference for leading the Kingsmen in receptions and setting team records for TDs in a game (3) and season (12) with 150 yards. Coach Monarrez returned to his high school roots after Cal Lutheran as a Wide Receiver Coach at St. Francis High School and has been on this coaching staff for 27 years. He is also SFHS Director of Admissions and Freshmen Counselor. He resides in Whittier with his wife Susan, daughter Marissa and son Andrew

Tony Paopao '80 Samoans, it seems, were born to play football. ey are large men with nimble feet and not shy of physical contact. ey play with intensity, an inherited trait from their South Pacific homeland of American Samoa where the warrior spirited is honored. Samoans attribute their nimble feet to cultural dances learned at an early age. Tony Paopao was indeed Samoan and football coaches can never have enough large men with nimble feet who love contact. Tony grew up in Oceanside, California where he first played for Oceanside High School. In one of his great games at Oceanside against their rival, San Marcos, Paopao had 246 yards in 35 carries - another 100 were called back due to penalties - resulting in his three touchdowns and a 27-18 win. Tony played one year at UCLA, two great years at Cal Lutheran, played briefly with the Seattle Seahawks and in the USFL which later folded. When his playing days were over, he pursued with passion a career that was built into his Polynesian genes: coaching. He has coached running backs for over 32 years in numerous high schools, including his Alma Mater, Oceanside High, and has been honored by the Southern California Interscholastic Football Coaches Association, the San Diego County Coaches Association and been the recipient of the Gib Dear Award for Coaching. He also coached running backs for San Diego State University and in Canada for the CFL, including the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the British Columbia Lions and the Ottawa Renegades.

The Beginnings

tice in the bus affectionately called “e White Tornado” and driven by Norm Denison, was an adventure in survival in and of itself. While the first team began its inaugural season with no home field, Orville Dahl, Bob Shoup, and representatives from the Los Angeles Times, were able to attract a new NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, to the campus for their summer camp. Working with the Cowboys, the University was able to fast track the development of better locker room and training facilities as well as the creation of the first home field and adjacent practice fields on the north campus. For the next 26 years these two organizations, the CLU Kingsmen, and the Dallas Cowboys, grew into very competitive and nationally recognized teams. Each team reached the pinnacle of

The Mystique of The Blue Slippers By John Leubtow

S

uperstition and ritual in sports is found in all sports venues. It is generally something initially developed in hindsight, almost by accident and then called upon in future events. Such superstitions arise when an athlete or team has an exceptional performance and then tries to establish “cause and effect” by trying to link any odd or unusual circumstances at the time with the performance breakthrough itself. After this link is made in the mind of the athlete or athletes, through visualization or guided imagery, which today is the very basis of sports psychology, the athlete or athletes call upon this “mojo” before each competition. e ritual mystique of the Blue Slippers at then California Lutheran College began early in the 1964 season when our three-year-old football program reached its lowest ebb. Going in to the season, the young Kingsmen had won eight and lost eight after two seasons of suspect competition. Now, after a stunning 13-8 win over La Verne College, CLC was in Cvijanovich summons the midst of a depressing losing streak. We lost to Occidental 28-7, were blanked by Southern Utah 26-0 and humiliated by Claremont- Mudd 28-13. e next game was to be our longest road trip to play a very tough Colorado College team, and it was their homecoming game. In early October, the team flew into Colorado Springs and was met by an old city transit bus. We were taken to the edge of town to a very tired, single-story motel. e extra bags were put in the garage storage area among beat-up furniture, lost-and-found articles and miscellaneous hotel supplies. It had been a very long day, and we were tired and did not have much spirit or enthusiasm. We had eaten on the plane so the next order of business was to get back on the bus and go five miles downtown where the campus was located for a practice session. Many players had to stand on the crowded bus. e college was on a beautiful site and the leaves had begun to change on the trees. We got off the bus below campus at the stadium field level in our game uniforms. e air was crisp and clean. As we began to loosen up and go through a light practice, our spirits began to rise and a vocal camaraderie began to assert itself. We were not intimidated but were like school kids on an outing. is scene was then overshadowed from above with band music and cheers. Colorado College was having its homecoming pep rally. Clearly we could hear from the PA system that …”this team from California is in the midst of a losing streak and we have beaten them before and we expect them to be an easy opponent.” With that, we Kingsmen began to shout and cheer and the entire Colorado College student body and alumni came over to the edge of the stadium to see what was going on. e next day was fabulous. Sunny, but cool. We cleaned out our rooms, loaded up our gear and got on the bus to go to the college to tape and dress for the game. at Saturday we controlled the Colorado College gridiron, and as we found out after our victory, the game was recorded for local television to be played that evening. For me personally

20

it was my best single game at Cal Lutheran, with over 120 yards rushing, a long punt return and one touchdown. e final score was 29-6. e line of John Paris, Fred Kemp, Jim Tschida, Cary Washburn, Roger Young and Jerry Palmquist, and Safety / Wide Receiver Skip Mooney and others was stunning. Everything went right. e holes were there for us on offense and not for Colorado on Defense. After the losing games we experienced prior to this game and as history has shown, this was the turning point in our team’s confidence and morale and set the stage for the Blue Slippers and the beginning of multiple years of winning seasons, national rankings and a national championship. at Saturday evening some of us on the team found a “local watering hole” for a little “imbibing” and to watch ourselves on TV. Although we discovered that we were not so welcome sitting there imbibing and cheering ourselves on as we “devoured the locals”, but, fear not, for when you enter an establishment with “the big boys”…nobody bothers you. e next morning as we boarded the bus to depart…the Blue Slippers…entered our lives. We were all seated and ready to leave when Coach Shoup and Coach Garrison entered the Mojo... the bus laughing. Standing in front of the bus, Coach Shoup honored us with accolades about his pleasure with the victory and then he held up this scummey, dirty, disgusting old pair of women’s slippers and told us the cleaning woman had found them in my room and wanted to return them to me. Everybody laughed, but with this bit of humorous injection from the coaches and the joy of a great upset victory under our belts, the appearance of the Blue Slippers became identified with a magic moment in our lives…a magic performance, and I became “the keeper of the Blue Slippers” until 1967. e next week, CLC routed George Fox 59-0. We then won 33-9 over Cal Tech and 14-8 over a very tough Cal State team. e following week, we went to Pomona but the slippers stayed home and we lost 14-8. e legend began. e last game was our Homecoming, and we beat UC Riverside 7-0. After that for some strange reason they became like a “mystical good luck charm”, even being hung up in the locker room with a white shoelace for players to touch or give homage to at game time. en suddenly, they mysteriously vanished. During the next 10 years, CLU won eight state championships and a national title in 1971. In 1975 the CLU Kingsmen were the #1 rated team in both the NAIA Division II and the NCAA Division III, and even today we virtually control our conference and are nationally ranked. POSTSCRIPT e Blue Slippers “good luck symbol” has been with the Kingsmen ever since they were found. Although no one is ready to “bet the farm” that they hold a mysterious power that transformed the Kingsmen into the powerhouse they have become, no one is also willing to question this possibility. e legend will continue…

The Tradition Continues

Coach McEnroe on 2015 Season In April 2007, Ben McEnroe (Class of ’93) became the first alumni football coach to lead the Kingsmen. One of the primary goals McEnroe set for the program was to embrace the rich history and tradition of CLC/CLU football. Alumni players are welcomed inside the locker room before every game, and Coach Shoup addresses the team before the Homecoming contest, holding an undefeated record since the establishment of this tradition. At the conclusion of the 2007 football awards banquet, Coach Shoup presented Coach McEnroe with a “new” pair of Blue Slippers that the team has embraced, and the Kingsmen have won approximately 75% of their games since the Slippers returned to the locker room. e last eight seasons have been the most successful in CLU’s NCAA era. During that span, the Kingsmen have won 74% of their games, including five Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) championships and the first four NCAA playoff appearances in school history. CLU is 43-8 vs. the SCIAC since 2007, and has claimed four of the last six conference titles. e 2015 version of the Kingsmen will feature a blend of experience with talented newcomers. CLU boasts two of the finest Tight Ends in the nation in seniors Connor Allen and Alix Moise. e Offensive Line, which gave-up fewer sacks per attempt than any unit since 1992, returns four starters and several talented newcomers will compete for starting jobs. e Tailback corps is four-deep with diverse running styles. ere is a lot of optimism surrounding a Defensive unit that returns nine starters, including the fastest Outside Linebacker in the nation in Ronny Camacho. Junior Cornerback Josh Bartley returns from injury and will receive all-star consideration. e re-built Linebacker group features EJ Edinburgh, last year’s starting Fullback, and transfer Cale Dester. Both Linebackers are 6’2” with great range. While there are only four home games on the 2015 schedule, several of those games are among the best in Division III football. e Kingsmen will battle their old rivals from the north, Pacific Lutheran University, in the first-ever home opening night game played on campus on September 12th. A month later, the Bulldogs from Redlands will be welcomed for Homecoming on October 10th in the fourth Battle for the Smudge Pot. e home schedule also includes night games versus Whittier and LaVerne. e highlights of the away schedule include the first road game of the season at Willamette on September 19th, and a visit to defending SCIAC champion Chapman in late-October.

Alma Mater Lyrics by: Orville Dahl Music by Rossini

Oh, summon your sons and daughters, Your banners and flags unfold, Call them to Alma Mater, The violet and the gold, California Lutheran, College of our dreams, Upon whose crested summits Sunbeams dance and gleam. Oh, summon your sons and daughters, The ‘circling hills enfold, Near deep Pacific waters, The violet and the gold. Your love of freedom cherish, Your love of truth prevails, Your love of Christus merit, Alma Mater, Hail! All Hail! All Hail!

Hail The Kingsmen Hail Kingsmen! Hail Kingsmen! Forward into battle go the Kingsmen! Roaring out again to meet the foe. Stand and cheer as they appear. Every loyal son will bid them go. Throughout the land our loyal band of Kingsmen raise their colors high for all to see. So! Give your all today And once again we’ll say It’s victory for CLU. Hail Kingsmen! Hail Kingsmen! Fight on to victory.

CLU Fight Song Lyrics by: Robert Zimmerman & Elmer Ramsey Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! On to victory show the C-L-U might! Dig in and take that ball right down the field again, send the foe into flight! We’re here right behind you and our mind’s made up to win! So, go! go! go! go! Go and get the score and our spirits will soar! Let’s count down! 10, 9, 8, cast off! 7, 6, 5, get set! 4, 3, 2, blast off! Go! and we are off to win the vict’ry today!
