Joe Sewall demonstrates his speed as he knifes through La Verne's line for a long run. LA VERNE T5--CAL WESTERN T4 Cal Western took their 3rd straight loss from a team they outplayed until the final 46 seconds. The Western eleven struck quickly for two touchdowns and a T4-O half-time lead left San Diego fans jubilant. The first score came after a 68-yard drive in which Larry Toledo hit on six of seven passes, one a 14-yarder to Terry Greeson for six points. Cal Western's second touchdown was the result of a 48-yard pass-run combi- nation between Toledo and fullback Tim Short. Terry Love booted both extra points. The second half was a different story, as Leopard quarterback Kurt Bullen be- gan to find his receivers in the clear. With only 46 seconds left in the game he hit Dick McAnulty with a 23-yard aerial to tie the score at 14-14. Jim Saladino's placement made the differ- ence. In the final moments Toledo made a gallant bid to score, but all hope ended when the gun sounded to end the battle on the enemy 24.
