This Year’s Hall of Fame Bowl Canceled

The 1991 Hall of Fame Bowl, San Diego’s one-time annual community college football bowl game, has been canceled, Southwestern College President Joseph Conte announced Tuesday.

The bowl, which was to match the winner of the Southern Division of the Mission Conference with an at-large team, was to have been played Dec. 7 at Southwestern’s Devore Stadium.

Palomar College, the winner of the Southern Division, announced Sunday that it would play instead in the Dec. 7 Elks Bowl at Merced College against Chabot College of Hayward. Chabot is ranked No. 1 in California, Palomar No. 2.

The Chargers acquired cornerback Tony Blaylock on waivers from the Cleveland Browns. Blaylock, a fourth-round draft pick by the Browns in 1988, played in five games this season before being placed on injured reserve Nov. 13 with a rotator cuff injury.

To make room on the roster, the Chargers are expected to place a player on injured reserve today.
