Will students rally behind the O.C. universitys first football team since the 1930s?
ORANGE — The last time the Chapman University Panthers football team ran out onto a field, Franklin D. Roosevelt had just been elected and the New Deal promised relief to a nation mired in the Great Depression. Sixty-two years later, players will once again don helmets and pads and march onto the gridiron this September. This time, the team will play home games in Orange–not Los Angeles–and will no longer carry its old name of California Christian.
