A11 told, he completed 15 out of 27 passes attempted for 166 yard» and ran for 18 more. Guard Ken Kitagavva spearheaded the defense, which did an outstanding job of holding the high-scoring Sun Devils to only 14 points. Hawaii's season closed on a 48-6 rout by a strong Utah State College team. Completing a mediocre season, Utah was far from mediocre that evening. Fresh from a three-week rest and rejuvenated by the Hawaiian weather, the Aggies looked as if they could have taken on the mighty Syracuse eleven. Running reverse lefts and rights, the Aggie com- pletely befuddled Hawaii. Halfbacks Buddy Allen and Tom Larschcid tore the Rainbow defense to shreds. Larschcid, a sophomore reserve, scored four touchdowns. Despite the overwhelming Aggie showing, fans will never forget the performance by Nolan George, who played his collegiate finale in the Homecoming game. The little scatback ran and hurdled the 220-pound Utah linemen with a “What, me worry? attitude. He let out with the old college try and seemed to be the only one who thought the Rainbows still had a chance to win. George set up the only Hawaii score on a daring piece of running. He caught a pass from Bob Hidalgo on the Aggies 35-yard line and ran along the makai sideline toward the ewa goal. Risking injury, he tried to hurdle a Utah player, was knocked through the air and landed on his head on the end zone out-of-bounds marker. To the crowd’s disappointment, the officials ruled the ball out-of-bounds on the one-yard line. George was shaken up and left the field while given a fine ovation by the crowd. Hawaii’s superb defense couldn't stop the hard- charging Aggie line led by guard Bill Mcglen and tackle Len Rhode. Stellar linebacker Dan Izuka was injured early in the game to further dampen Hawaii's cause. In the annual Hula Bowl game, Hawaii was repre- sented by tackle George Naukana. N'aukana made a respectable showing, as he threw All-Americans Billy Gannon and Richie Lucas for successive lasses. 27

RAIN Song writer and poet have had a lot to tay about rain and rainbow»: “Just walking in the rain, I’m always chasing rain- bows, Fresh showers for thirsting flowers. UH students often find themselves walking in the rain. The University, situated in rainy Manoa valley, has its share of showers for thirsting flowers. The school name, aptly The Rainbows, is significant: the University is at the rainbow's end, is the pot of gold. The beige trench coat by necessity set the pace in women’s fashion on rainy Manoa campus. The French twist was the most becoming and practical coiffure for hair which had been straightened by rain. Students pitted intuition and experience against the un- predictable weather, but wrre often caught with their umbrella down. Generalizations were made about the weather: forgottet raincoats mean certain rain, remembered raincoats mean sunaj skies; cloudy mornings indicate bright afternoons, bright mom ings indicate rainy afternoons. But unlike scientific laws, thtst generalizations were illogical and unreliable. The safest this) to do was to bring a raincoat every day. Hence, the ubiquitoa beige raincoat. A downpour was often welcomed, for it meant the canceling of-ROTC drill or .an excuse for going late to class, and it w refreshing after hours of hot humid weather. But the stead] drizzle was a nuisance. It wasn't enough to stop one from goinf outdoors, but it was sufficient to make clothes damp and limpl It made lawns soggy. It made waiting in the Snack Bar lmtB drippy business. It was misty, moisty, and miserable. 28
