SECOND SECTION EIGHTEEN THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1947. TOO 26 RAINBOWS CRUSH LEILEHUA MsmFSem Brocks WJflS7f7e Resordl Passes PaveWay For We are wondering if the Senior Football League did the light thing in threatening to boycott the University of Hawaii, with the ultimatum that the Rainbows play all the teams in the circuit next year or none at all. We fail to see the wisdom of the action.

Cards 63 University Triumph It all developed after the UH board of athletic control decided at its last meeting that the Rainbows would hereafter be permitted to play only three local club aggregations because of a heavy inter collegiate schedule. In Practice Round The board felt that the Rainbows would be playing too many games if they took on all the Senior league teams in addition to collegiate Collegians Click 19 Passes To Score Once In First And Fourth Periods, Twice In Second Quarter; Mamiya, Dang Lead Attack By MONTE ITO Advertiser Sports Writer University of Hawaii's Rainbows, loadea for bear and sharp as a tack, overpowered the Leilehuas of the Hawaii Senior Football League for a 26 to 0 victory last night on a muddy Stadium greensward. Heavy rains late in the afternoon and threatening weather held the attendance down to about 10,000 for the long-heralded Former Open Champion Is Nine Strokes Under. Par Lloyd Mangrum, 1946 U. Y-V A Open champion, set a new noncompetitive course record at Waialae when he registered a brilliant 63 for 18 holes while playing a practice round yesterday after noon with Dai Reese, British Ryder Cup star, Jimmy Thomson, Law- son Little, and Harry Cooper.

Nine strokes under par, Man To Play Army Leahy Drills LujackAt Left Half Fears Rain Will Cut Dowji Efficiency Of Irish grum shattered a record held by Arthur Bell and Arthur Arm strong at 64. Armstrong carded his 64 last August, while playing in the Hawaii sectional qualifying opponents. We do not believe the Senior League is in a position to dictate terms to the University. The Rainbows can do it more good than it can for them. Playing among themselves, the top teams in the league can do fairly well at the gate, but they can do much better if they were to meet the University eleven.

On the other hand, the public is not interested in watching the second division clubs play the collegians, for it is a foregone conclusion that they would be outclassed. Games played thus far this season bear out this contention. Last week the UH eleven defeated Kaimuki Alumni, 65 to 0. Previously, the Rainbows had taken the measure of the Olympics, 40 to 15 and downed the Moiliilis, 18-6. Only the Moiliili game drew a fair house.

As can be discerned without difficulty, only the Moiliilis and the Leialums are capable of offering the Rainbows any kind of a ball game. Such being the case, it is our suggestion to the Senior league officials that they reconsider their action, if it is not yet too late. It would be to the league's benefit to draw up a working ment with the University to have the three best teams play the Rainbows each season. The clubs for the UH games could be selected from the showing they made the previous year. The league should also realize that, if necessary, the University of Hawaii can schedule intercollegiate games for October and November here and these games would certainly shove the senior league tussles into the background.

In fact, the Rainbow officials are at present seriously considering inviting collegiate elevens for early season games next fall, as reported earlier in the week. This is in line with an announcement last year by the University of Hawaii that it will in time adopt an all-collegiate schedule. Buddy Abreu is proving a most pleasant surprise to Coach Keith Molesworth of the Hawaiian Warriors who play the Sacramento Nuggets again Friday night. "Abreu has been improving and getting better each week," Molesworth said yesterday and he displayed a big smile as he recalled the great ball carrying exhibition Abreu put on last Thursday night. "He has a good pair of legs and is hard to bring down," Molesworth added.

"Moreover, he is developing into a fine open field runner." Molesworth, who played for years with the Chicago Bears, also said that Scooter Scussell is one of the fastest backs he has ever seen. "He combines speed with driving straight ahead running power and this makes him invaluable as a ball carrier," Molesworth added. round for the U. S. Amateur championship.

Mangrum in shooting his sensational round registered a 31 on the first nine and a 32 for the second nine. He birdied the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and eighteenth holes. Only the last hole Mangrum barely missed an eagle when his putt was short by a couple of inches. Rees had several birdies and he had a card of 68. game between the two local gridiron powers.

The muddy field proved no handicap to the hard-charging Rainbows and their powerful ball carriers, especially John Dang, who ripped the Leilehua line to shreds on quick opening plays. Coach Tommy Kaulukukui came up with a dazzling passing attack with Richard Mamiya, quarterback who moved to' tailback on a shift from to short punt formation, hitting his mark ponsistently and Ken Nakamura, right end, giving a superb exhibition of snagging. Passes setup three of the Rainbows' touchdowns and was responsible for a fourth, The collegians scored once in the first quarter, twice in the second and once in the third period. Fullback Dang took the ball over twice, Hirota scored once and Mamiya, passed to Harry Kahuanul for another tally. Center Bob Shibu-ya converted after the last two touchdowns.

The Leilehuas were far from outclassed and they gave? the Rainbows a stiff battle. Their line held the Rainbows to only 99 yards on the ground, but the secondary fell down on pass defense as the collegians completed 19 out of 32 passes for 197 yards. On offense the Leis reeled off 58 net yards from rushing and clicked 11 out of 26 attempted passes for 152 yards. Their running attack bogged down in the second half and they were held to only nine yards from rushing. Twice the Leis threatened to score, but each time fumbles frustrated their efforts.

Louis Collins, a strong defensive left end, both of these fumbles, the first on the 1-yard line and the other on the 18. The Rainbows scored their first touchdown the first time they gained possession, marching 75 yards with Mamiya completing three passes to Nakamura and one to Rocky Sugino. Jyun Hirota returned a punt 15 to his 25 and the collegians were on their way. Mamiya clicked to Nakamura for 17, 18 BREAKS WAIALAE. RECORD Lloyd Mangrum, former V.

Referring to the passing attack which has carried the Notre Dame eleven to five successive victories this season Leahy said that until today, when he sent his team through a lengthy dummy scrimmage in the rain, the Irish had not practiced on 'a single rainy day this year. The Notre Dame coach told visiting sports writers that he is facing a terrific psychological problem in priming his squad for the. Army game. He said the Cadets would be ready to "shoof the works' with one defeat and a tie already on their record.

Leahy also said that Johnny Lu-jack, outstanding Notre Dame passer, had been working out at left halfback offensively and as safety man defensively this week. The disclosure led to speculation that both Lujack and his understudy, Frank Tripucka, will be in the same backfield against Army. Taylor Signs WithBrowns ST.

"Pappy" stood aghast when informed hu high-riding, once-beaten Golden Bears had been installed 14-point favorites over Washington Saturday.

"Let 'em have their fun," he sputtered," "why, those guys from Washington could beat us. They're big, fast and improving in every game, and I'm not kidding." This, Waldorf admitted, in spite of the fact that California's "worst team in history" of 1946 now ranks as the number two grid powerhouse on the Pacific Coast the best siqce the Bears' unbeaten "thunder team" and Rose Bowl champions of 10 years ago. Pappy had his troubles, at that. His best guard, All-Coast candidate John Baker, was out of action for the season with a leg injury.

And Tackle Hank Borghi, another casualty of the Bears victory over UCLA last week, was on the sidelines recovering, from a leg wound. "All these troubles, and we're still favorites?"
