In one of the roughest games ever seen on the Honolulu Stadium turf, Fresno State College defeated the Rainbows 22-13. The game resembled a barroom brawl, as numerous infractions were spotted by the crowd but few were called by the officials. Aware of lax offi- ciating. the players took matters into their own hands to draw disgust from fans. 23

With the memory of the 8-6 upiet that Hawaii handed them last year, the Spartan of San Jose State College struck early and quickly to soundly trounce a travel- weary Rainbow team, 44-M. Winding up their three-game mainland jaunt, the men from Manoa gave it everything they had. Co-captain Nolan Ccorgc scored the first Hawaii touchdown on a 44-yard run. He set up the second score on a well- executed reverse covering 45 yard . Bob Hidalgo sneaked over from the one. That was all the scoring the Rainbows could muster up, as the fired-up Spartans had everything their own way after that. Stymied by Hawaii's rock-ribbed defrnsc, a highly- touted College of the Pacific team, with All-American Dick Bass, managed to sweat out a 6-0 victory in the Shrine Aloha Bowl game. The Tigers scored in the first quarter after capitalizing on a break but could do nothing against the Rainbow’s forward wall the rest of the game. Halfbacks Larry DcRego and Tennyson Lum did some fine hall-carrying, but Hawaii lacked a scoring punch. Dan Izuka did a tremendous job from his line- backer positon. Hawaii won its only home game of the season with a strong offensive output by defeating Los Angeles State College 27-6. Coach Bud Adams' Diablos, rated the COP guard Joe Malpatuto paced the winning tally by intercepting an erra' Hidalgo pats. Vandcrwall sneaked over from the 18-inch line to climax a 2J-ya drive and to win. 6-0. 22

Hawaii struck early and quickly and was on their way to a second victory only to be overrun by the mobsters from Fresno. Tennyson I.um pasted to Nolan George for 39 yards and the first tally. Fresno struck back for two quick touchdowns Reserve halfback George Ragsdale scored the second touchdown to put the Bulldogs out in front 14-13. Just before the game's end Ragsdale again scored, crushing any Hawaii hopes of salvaging the game. Hawaii’s second score came on a Schichtlc-to-Lum pass, covering 55 yards. The Rainbows .lost their second game, this time a heart-breaking defeat, to a strong Arizona State Uni- versity eleven. Border Conference champions. The Sun Devils finished their srason with a 10-1 won-lost record. The officials, apparently peeved by the adverse pub- licity received from the Fresno footbrawl game, seemed to throw players from the game if they even as much as snarled. Two Hawaii gridders and an Arizona player were asked to sit out the game. Had another player been dismissed they would have had a fourth for bridge. Arizona had to fight off a-determined fourth quarter rally for a hard-earned 14-6 victory. Hawaii scored its only touchdown of the evening when Bob Hidalgo passed to Nolan George. He caught the pass on the Sun Devils’ 40-yard line and did zig-zagged maneuvers through a mass of Arizona players to score. With UH trailing in the fourth quarter, Hidalgo tried desperately to rally his teammates to a score. He practically put on a one-man show with his passing and Hard running freshman fullback Irwin Kctiipueole rips through the center o the line dragging an Arijona Stale defender with him for 18 yards be- fore submitting to the Sun Devil tackier. 24
