CALGARY -- Clifton Smiths CFL debut was memorable with a winning touchdown and 188 return yards for the Calgary Stampeders. Smiths five-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter restored Calgarys lead en route to a 40-26 win over the B.C. Lions on Friday. And with 130 yards in the game, Calgarys Jon Cornish broke his own single-season rushing record by a Canadian running back. The New Westminster, B.C., native extended his mark to 1,545 yards with three games remaining in the regular season. Calgary moved six points clear of the Lions atop the CFLs West Division to 12-3. The Lions (9-6) lost their second in a row. Smith signed as a free agent with Calgary last month and was activated from the practice roster this week. The 28-year-old running back-return specialist from Fresno, Calif., played in the NFLs Pro Bowl in 2009 as a returner for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Smith last played in a football game a year ago in the United Football League. "Every time I step on the field I feel like Im capable of doing something big and my teammates blocked great for me and made my job easy," Smith said. "Ive been preparing for this for a long time and I just cashed in on my opportunities." The Edmonton Eskimos (3-11) host the Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-5) in another West Division game Saturday. Calgary, B.C. and Saskatchewan have already secured playoff berths. The next three games will determine playoff matchups in the West. The Stampeders are in Edmonton next Friday, host the Roughriders the following week and finish in Vancouver against the Lions on Nov. 1. The Lions are at home for their final three games against Saskatchewan, Edmonton and Calgary respectively. With Fridays victory, the Stampeders are the front-runners to host the division final and earn the semifinal bye. "It does keep us in the drivers seat, so to speak," Calgary coach John Hufnagel said. "We have three tough ball games remaining and once its all over, the dust settles and we find out where we stand." An Edmonton upset of the Roughriders on Saturday would allow Calgary to clinch a home playoff berth. Trailing until the fourth quarter, the Lions tied the game 26-26 at 6:47. But Stampeder defensive back Chris Randle sealed the win after Smiths touchdown with an interception and 65-yard runback to score at 13:53. Smith was inserted into the lineup because non-import running back Matt Walter was out of the game with a concussion. Import Larry Taylor, the CFLs leader in total return yards, came out to make the import-non-import ratio work. "Even though this was his first CFL game, with his experience that he brought from the other league, I was pretty sure the game wouldnt be too big for him," Hufnagel said of Smith. "He took advantage of an opportunity, made some big returns and did a tremendous job on the touchdown catch." Cornish scored on a two-yard run and surpassed his previous rushing record of 1,457 yards in the opening quarter. He broke Norm Kwongs 56-year-old record in the final game of the regular season in 2012, so Cornish has time to make his numbers more gaudy. Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn threw touchdown passes to Marquay McDaniel and Smith. Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes made four of his five field-goal attempts, including strikes from 43 and 45 yards in front of an announced 26,115 at McMahon Stadium. Lions quarterback Thomas DeMarco, in his fourth start in the absence of the injured Travis Lulay, threw touchdown passes to Courtney Taylor and Nick Moore and scored on a one-yard plunge. DeMarco also threw a two-point convert to Taylor. B.C.s Paul McCallum was good on his one field-goal chance and contributed a punt single point. "Certainly the guys fought back to tie the game," Lions head coach Mike Benevides said. "We didnt make enough plays. Thats a good football team over there and we couldnt get it done. "Any time you play a game, all that matters is the result and winning the football game. Well take a look at the tape and see what we can take out of it." The Lions pulled even in the fourth quarter on DeMarcos six-yard touchdown pass to Moore and two-point convert throw to Taylor. DeMarco, now 2-2 this season, completed 23 of 39 passing attempts for 301 yards and was intercepted twice. Glenn was 22-for-37 in passing for 259 yards and picked off once. Glenn improved to 8-2 in his starts this season. Backup Drew Tate threw the ball once in the game and had three yards on two carries. Calgary dominated time of possession in the first half with almost 21 minutes with the ball, but led just 19-11. B.C.s ground game continued to struggle with just 56 rushing yards. "You dont want to keep giving the ball to their team, especially at home," DeMarco said. "You want to make sure that you put everybody in a good situation and I wasnt able to do that today in the beginning. "Weve just got to come out and fix our mistakes. Im sure were going to watch film and see a lot of stuff that we could have done differently." Youth Ray Lewis Jersey . American Hahn did finish after a 90-minute morning rain delay, and took just 28 strokes to come home after starting on No. 10 to go 16 under. He surged ahead of first-round leader Ricardo Santos, who shot a 5-under 66 to be 14 under overall. Baltimore Ravens Jersey . Canada finished second in its semifinal with a time of five minutes 32.37 seconds, guaranteeing a top-six finish.

Kershaw improved to 5-0 against San Francisco with a 2-1 victory on Tuesday night that pushed the Giants closer to elimination from the NL West race. Custom Ravens Jersey . Ribery, who won UEFAs best player in Europe award for the 2012-13 season, helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League and Bundesliga and German Cup titles. Messi, winner of the last four Ballon dOr awards in voting by coaches, team captains and media, was injured late in the season and could not prevent Barcelona from being beaten by Bayern in the Champions League semifinals. Youth Dennis Pitta Jersey . It was therefore fitting that, after he showered in the locker room, he put on a sweatshirt with the word "Reckless." "Thats me," Beal said. "Young and reckless." Teammates were razzing the rookie after the game, which was OK because the Wizards came away with a win despite wasting much of an 18-point fourth-quarter lead.MILWAUKEE - As drivers pulled up in their cars to drop off canned goods at Miller Park, Ryan Braun collected the Thanksgiving donations and offered a warm handshake with his gloved right hand.Spring training is still more than two months away, but this is a good sign for the Milwaukee Brewers and their star outfielder.Braun said Wednesday that his right hand feels good. He is cautiously optimistic that a medical procedure performed in early October will finally fix a nerve problem near his right thumb that has nagged him since the 2013 season.My hope is it gets back to 100 per cent. Right now, I dont feel anything and I havent been able to say that in two years, Braun said. It would hurt shaking hands, writing — doing everything activities — and I dont feel that at all. Im excited about that.Days after the end of a disappointing season, Braun had cryotherapy, a procedure involving the application of extreme cold. The procedure was performed at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles.Braun was suspended the final 65 games of the 2013 season for his connection to the Biogenesis doping scandal. The Brewers had hoped the extra rest going into last off-season would address the problem going into 2014.For a while, that plan seemed to be working. Braun got off to a hot start in spring training. The career .306 hitters average was up to .327 on June 1, though his power numbers were down. The average slowly dipped in the second half. His struggles at the plate epitomized Milwaaukees frustrating September, when a team-wide slump dropped the Brewers out of first place and out of the playoffs.ddddddddddddThe 2011 NL MVP finished hitting a career-low .266 with 19 homers and 81 RBIs.I really believe if I was anywhere near healthy the season would end up differently, Braun said. Hopefully this thing continues to feel good ... and I can get back to being one of the best players in the league.Braun said his hand felt amazing after taking swings in the weeks after the procedure. He is in his typical off-season routine now, and doesnt plan to resume baseball activities until late December.The Brewers began their off-season by trading for Adam Lind from Toronto for pitcher Marco Estrada. The addition of Lind fills two glaring needs since he is a left-handed hitting first baseman.Other than that, Milwaukee has been relatively quiet so far. The club picked up starter Yovani Gallardos $13 million option. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez is returning to the Brewers after the two sides picked up the $14 million mutual option.Manager Ron Roenicke is also coming back, while Darnell Coles is taking over for Johnny Narron as hitting coach.I dont think our failure had anything to do with (Roenicke) managing, it had to do with us playing, Braun said. So definitely happy to have him back.Otherwise, Braun is also enjoying life as the father of a 2-month-old daughter. He said he wasnt getting much sleep, but otherwise called fatherhood indescribably beautiful. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
