Crawford Is Net Winner Over Quist (United Pwm by Radio) MELBOURNE, Dec.

15 Jack Crawford defeated Adrian Quist, 6-2, 8-6, 6-3, in the finals of the Victorian championships here today. The tourney was a feature of Melbourne's Centennial exposition and attracted many foreign players. Quist entered the finals by eliminating: Fred Perry, generally rated as No. 1 player of the world. Joseph Richards Where I live I see a lot of football every day during: the school series, but I never tire of the game.

See you again on Christmas Day. John J. Walsh I was glad I turned out to see the Hawaii-Denver game and I want to congratulate Otto Klum on the really fine little team he has. Mrs. Edward A.

O'Connor We took our little youngster to see the game. Any boy with' a head like his will make a football player ma-hope. H. P. Agee There is some thing in the climate of Hawaii that makes our boys fine football players.

H. II. Williams Henry and I and the youngsters all turned out to the game. Hawaii surely made a wonderful showing against the visiting Denver team. Senator Joseph L.

Fernandez I am sure this University of Hawaii football team, of ours would make a good showing against most of the grid teams over on the Mainland. Bill Sproule The way Hawaii put it over on Denver made me proud of our boys. At the same time I sot to say that the Denver players were mighty good, clean sports. Luke L. Ukauka The Hawaii- Denver game was one of the cleanest I have seen in Honolulu Scenes from the University of during the first half.

Over 18,000 fans, probably the greatest throng ever to witness a local game, saw the locals turn the game into a track meet, an- nihil3ting the Colorado visitors, 33 to 14. RAINBOWS HOT 1 The Pioneers fought a game battle but were no match for the Rainbows who enjoyed their biggest day of the season. Everything clicked with clock-like pre-' cision. Denver claimed that Ha-: waii's passing in Colorado last fall, was the greatest they' had ever witnessed. They hadn't seen anything compared to Hawaii's air raid of yesterday.

The Rainbows fired an even dozen shots and hit the bull's eye seven times for a total of 109 yards a per-' centage of over 60 percent. Hawaii went through, over and around Denver for 15 first downs during the game, compared to eight for the visitors. Hawaii's total from scrimmage was 273 yards compared to 57 for Denver. HELD ON 2 LINE Things looked rosy for Denver In the first five minutes of play when Bill Young, fleet quarter- back Intercepted a pass by Fur-. tado on his own 34-yard line and streaked down the makai sideline behind brilliant interference, all the way to the 10-yard stripe before he was finally checked by Furtado and Augustine Ahuna.

The run was good for 56 yards. Lorin Berry promptly smacked right guard for six paces to the four mark and hit the same spot on second down for two yards to the two line. Denver then attempted an end run with Ernie Rossi carrying at the right wing that cost them six yards. With the ball on the eight line, a pass on fourth down was incomplete in the end zone and the ball went to Hawaii on her 20 line. A bad kick by Deveraux that travelled but 14 yards out of bounds on the 50 stripe with three minutes to play in the first half started Hawaii on her way to victory.

HAWAII SCORES Tommy Kaulukukui, 145-pound halfback and the greatest individual performer of the afternoon, picked up nine yards at left tackle. George Aki followed with six and first on the 35 line of Denver, spinning through right tackle Tommy carried on the next play for six at left end, mov- ing the ball to the Denver 29. Tony Morse made three and then two at center for first down on the Pioneers 24 mark. It was on the very next play that Kaulukukui bolted off right tackle for 24 yards and the first touchdown of the game. Claire Bacon, end.

Espinda made a beautiful catch in the right flat and raced to the Denver 45 mark before he was downed. Kaulukukui followed this with an 13-yard gallop around right end to the Denver 27 line.

Mike Gonsalves then caught the Pioneers napping on an end around play at right end, running all the way to the Denver six-yard line before he was forced out of bounds. However, Hawaii was penalized for holding on the play and the ball set back to the 43 line. Captain Jack Johnson punted into the end zone after one pass had failed and Denver took the ball on her 20 line. Joe Fena dropped back from his tackle berth to punt but Denver failed to take care of George Zane, Rainbow guard, who blocked the attempt. The ball deflected over the goal line and out over the end line, out of the field of play for an automatic safety.

This gave Hawaii 15 points to nothing for Denver and the score remained as such for the rest of the half. Just before the end of the half Denver moved the ball from their own 48 line to the Hawaii 22, employing several sweet passes. George Aki stopped the drive by intercepting a pass. DENVER SCORES A blocked punt early in the third period paved the way for Denver's first touchdown. A.

62-yard kick by Bill Young, put the ball on the Hawaii 22 line. Captain Jack Johnson immediately moved into punt formation only to have Tom Fena, great Denver tackle crash through and block his attempt. The ball deflected out of bounds on the Hawaii 13 line. Coach Percy Loeey immediately injected Charley De Lacy into the fray in place of Ernie Rossi. De Lacy smacked right guard for two and.

Berry hit the same spot for one. De Lacy then tried right tackle, gaining one. On third down with five to go and with the ball on the nine-yard line, De Lacy passed to Orme Hering for six and first on the Hawaii three line. After De Lacy picked up one at center, Lorin Berry charged right guard for touchdown. Two penalties occurred during the try for the extra point.

First Denver was nicked for five yards when center Ben Anthony at-temoted to draw Hawaii offside by faking an attempt to pass the ball. After the penalty was inflicted, Bill Young failed to convert, his kick falling just a couple of yards short of the cross-bar. However, on this play, Frank Judd, Hawaii tackle, was caught roughing one of the Denver boy's faces with his paws and Hawaii was penalized to the one-yard line. On the second attempt, Emil Panek converted and the score stood 15 to 7 for Hawaii. BRILLIANT RETURN Dick Furtado nearly got away for a clear field on the next kick-off.

Only Bill Young remained between him and the goal line and Young brought him down with a brilliant tackle after a return of 54 yards that placed the ball on the Denver 35 line. Tony Morse picked up 10 yards in two plays and after Morse added nine more on a reverse, Furtado collected six paces for first down on the Den- pCcntinued on Page 13) Ladies. 75o Ladies. $1.10 Ladies 91910 for Reservations 3Co 50c 60c AFTERMATH OF AUDITORIUM BOXING SHOW YOUNG TONY took his first one on the chin he can't box a lick and the sooner his brother-manager finds this out and places the kid under a man wrho can teach him somethinf, the better. kid under a man who can teach him something, the better that knockout did Tony a lot of good, it showed up his faults.

K. O. Kuratsu should fight more often. He was a lucky boy to get a draw with Pasmore. The Japanese battler actually put out during this scrap and did no back pedalling.

it might also be mentioned in passing that Kuratsu gave away something like five pounds, altogether too much for a boy in his weight division. Anson Rego came into the ring hog fat and slow. Gildo's blcws were fast as lightning. Rego could no duck that long left that sent him sprawling, neither could he see where Gildo's right came from. The blows were not particularly hard, but perfectly timed and landed on the well known "button." The show was one of the best presented here in a long time and deserved a bigger crowd.

COLLD2RS ALL-AMERICA FOOTBALL TEAM COLLIERS All-America football team started by the late Caspar Whitney more than 30 years ago has made its appearance according to a news dispatch from the United Press and printed in these columns yesterday. Whitney conceived this All -America business, to be followed by the late Walter Camp and at present, Grantland Rice, a logical successor. Rice has quite a system in naming bis choice. He is person-nally known from Coast to Coast by sports writers and coaches. He writes to them for their opinions and after all returns are in, compiles his team.

The Colliers All-America may not represent the best mythical football team that could be named, but it represents honest effort on the part of Grantland Rice to see that everybody gets a square deal. Outside of Reynolds and Grayson of Stanford, none of the other teams of the Pacific Coast conference placed players oa the Colliers first team. The University of Minnesota, of course, leads with three players, and the Gophers are entitled to this break, because they are rated as the best university grid team of the 1934 season. INDIVIDUAL YARDAGE regon Is --Beaten-: in Louisiana Huey Long's Team Takes Intersectional Game; Score 14-13 (United Frtas by Radio) BATON ROUGE, Dec. 15.

Senator Huey Long's football team, Louisiana. State, had a narrow squeak from defeat in their Intersectional clash with Oregon here this afternoon. The local eleven won, 14 to 13, by virtue of a touchdown in the closing minutes of the game. Trailing 13 to 7 as the game neared an end.jFather Ree, Louisiana's right halfback, tucked the nigikin under his arm and evaded the entire Oregon eleven to sprint 39 yards to a touchdown. Seago, fullback, booted the extra point that spelled victory.

Van Vliet paved the way for Oregon's first score in the opening period when he received a lateral pass and galloped 46 yards to the Louisiana nine. Michek then punched his way over. An attempted pass for conversion failed. Van Vliet broke loose in the second period for a 27-yard run to score. Walker converted.

Before half time, Louisiana took a short Oregon punt on Oregon's 25-yard line. A series of passes, the last of which' was from Mickal to Barrett for five yards and a touchdown. Mickal kicked the extra point. From this point on the game went scoreless until Ree's spectacular touchdown gallop in the closing minutes. Dick Hanley Resigns At Northwestern (rrltcil rr by Radio) EVANSTON, 111., Dec.

15 Dick Hanley resigned today as head football coach at Northwestern University. It was generally believed Ossie Solem, presently coach at Iowa University, would replace Hanley. The latter was indefinite regarding his future plans beyond the fact he will coach the east's team in the annual east-west classic at San Francisco New Year's day. It was reported Hanley resigned because of his inability to play the role of politician in dealing with faculty committees. Northwestern's failure to renew Hanley's contract, it was believed, was largely due to the team's Gain FURTADO (HAWAII) 46 AHUNA (HAWAII) .......85 KAULUKUKUI (HAWAII) 63 MORSE (HAWAII) 21 BERRY (DENVER) 23 PANEK (DENVER) 15 LINEUPS HAWAII pos.
