University of Hawaii grabbed a four touchdown lead and held on to edge a determined Denver University team 28 to 27 in a mud-spattered Pineapple Bowl football game today, before 12,000. Outplayed at the start, the Denver Pioneers got going late in the second period and dominated play throughout the second half.

Failure to convert points after touchdown cost them the victory, since a safety they scored late in the game could have spelled the difference between victory and defeat. The contest was played under a brilliant sun, but the turf was soft and sopping wet after three nights of rain. Hawaii struck early In the first period for three touchdowns two coming as the result of intercept ed passes. Bolero Is Winner Of $50,000 Event; Your Host Second ARCADIA, Jan. 1 () Bolero, holder of the world record at six furlongs, added the seven furlong distance to his laurels to- clav by beating 12 rivals in Santa Anita's $50,000 San Carlos handi cap.

Bolero's clocking of 1:21 flat bettered by two fifths of a second the mark set by Ky Colonel at Washington Park, Chicago, in 1940. The chestnut also trimmed three fifths off the track record set by Bed Roses three days ago. A New Year's day gathering of watcnea the thriller, in which William Goetz' Your Host was the favorite.

Waldorf also had words of praise for the 21-year-old Michigan senior from Chicago who with sharpshootlng Chuck Ortmann broke the game wide open in the final 10 minutes. "One of the best runners we've encountered," said Pappy. Chewing on a woebegone cigar, the California head man looked not quite as dejected as last year when Ohio State beat his team 17-14 with a closing moment field goal.

But Pappy wasn't happy. "It was two different games-all ours the first half, all theirs the second," he said. "No, I don't know what happened. Our boys realized at halftime that they were going to be tough. Their defense stayed about the same.

Fierce rushing of West Texas Buffaloes' line and a yard eating backfield punch clearly offset the dangerous, often spectacular passing- of the Cincinnati Bear Cats' Gene Rossi. And a missed try for extra point by the Ohioan's Jim Kelly provided the final difference. Play was rough enough to cost West Texas 80 yards in penalties and Cincinnati 70, and both teams swarmed into fist swinging one play before the game ended.

And with that Dufek's teammates and a majority of California's battered linemen agreed.
