Rainbow coach Dick Tomey cleared his bench in this one, but the reserves struck for two touchdowns against a dead-tired Panther defense in the fourth quarter to complete a record-setting rout. It was the second straight win for the Rainbows, restoring them to .500 with a 3-3 record. However, their Western Athletic Conference record remains at 1-3. Tailback Gary Allen scored three touchdowns and rushed for 112 yards on only six tries in leading a Rainbow barrage that produced a record tying nine touchdowns in all, plus a school record 65 points against a college foe.

But, in overwhelming defeat, the Panthers drew a big hand from the fans when they stopped one Rainbow threat late in the fourth quarter. BORSCH Sports Writer The game quickly turned into a rout in the first quarter when the Rainbows exploded for four touchdowns and a 28-0 lead against the 29-man mini-team from central Texas. It then became a matter of how much as the game dragged on. By halftime, it was a 44-0 runaway. Quarterback Mike Stennis fired up the early scoring thrusts, scoring one touchdown and passing for another.

but Steve Rakhshani and freshman Tim Lyons also directed the Rainbows into the end zone. But the Panthers were feeling nothing but tired and it has to be a long trip home for them after the Rainbows made several long trips against them on the rain-slick Astroturf playing surface of the stadium. Allen accounted for more than half of his 112 yards on two touchdown romps, one a 52-yarder in the first quarter and the other a 13-yarder in the second quarter. He also hauled down a 26-yard scoring pass from Stennis, who completed 5 of 6 aerials for 55 yards before yielding Tomey: 'We had more 3 athletes than they did' Advertiser Sports Last night's game at Aloha Stadium was living proof that football may something similar to baseball's 10-run ruling. But the often-used baseball ruling for hopeless mismatches was not invoked and the torture continued as the UH Rainbows went on to destroy the out-manned and Panthers of Prairie View, 65-0, be before 28,839 witnesses.

UH coach Dick Tomey, however, did not kick the Panthers when they were down. He himself has experienced such frustration. experienced that kind of game from both sides of the field," said Tomey UH's second rout in successive weeks. I have a lot of empathy from Prairie View's standpoint. We just had more athletes than they did.

But I think they showed good spirit, character and good coaching by coming out in the second half and playing much better." But most of the fans would have preferred euthanasia, a mercy-killing. Many wanted to see no more and left midway through the fourth period. Some may have left at halftime. 1 By CURTIS MURAYAMA But for most of the players, who were hand-slapping and jiving on the sidelines, the game was sheer enjoyment, especially for those who usualMy run the scout squad during practice and sit on the bench during the game. a great thing to have.

It will make them The runaway gave one playerthird-string tailback Russell Valente -a chance to play and score his first collegiate touchdown. "It's good to have a couple games like this," said the freshman from St. Louis High School.

"When we get a game like this we gotta be ready." He was. Valente finished as the Rainbows' second-leading rusher in the game, gaining 86 yards and scoring a TD. Tailback Gary Allen, the game's leading rusher and Offensive Player of the Game, was happy for Valente, and for all those who played. "I like to see everyone else get See A TEAM on page 1-3 An old friend shook his head in bewilderment when he read the account of Cincinnati's stunning 34-10 upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers. "It's hard to believe," he said.

"How could the best team in pro football have nine turnovers--seven fumbles and two interceptions -against rumdummines like the Bengals, who were winless up to that point? Maybe there's something to those gambling rumors that crop up now and then." Possible-but not probable. The National Football League had a major scare in 1946 before the championship game between the New York Giants and Chicago Bears. Rumors of a fix floated around New York and Commissioner Bert Bell called in two Giant stars, Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes, for questioning. When he suspended both of them, the rumors appeared to be based on facts. Shortly before the game-won by the Bears, 24-14 -Filchock was reinstated and starred in a losing cause.

Hapes dropped out of sight. Bell beefed up NFL security, hiring investigators in every league city. As pro football has become bigger and more important over the years, Commissioner Pete Rozelle has enlarged upon Bell's efforts. In 1963 Rozelle suspended indefinitely Green Bay halfback Paul Hornung and Alex Karras, Detroit defensive tackle, for placing bets on their own teams and other NFL games. Five other Detroit players were fined $2,000 each for betting on a game in which they did not participate.

The Detroit club was fined $4000 for not reporting information promptly and for permitting a nightclub owner to be on the sidelines. Telephone conversations dan. Mcguire Advertiser Sports Writer Gambling and sports In 1970 Kansas City quarterback Len Dawson was questioned about telephone conversations he had with a fellow who was known to have gambling connections. Dawson was cleared and led the Chiefs to a rousing 23-7 upset of the Minnesota Vikings. NFL players are constantly warned of their associations.

Rozelle forced quarterSee DAN McGUIRE on Page 1-8 Writer to Rakhshani and Lyons. Rakhshani also enjoyed good success through the air, making good on 3 of 4 passes for 53 yards. One of them was a 13-yarder to Dewayne Jett, who took it into the end zone for his 13th career touchdown, thus improving his school record. Starters George Bell and Stennis got the Rainbows off to a quick start by scoring touchdowns separated by 1 minute and 33 seconds in the early going. Bell hit the left side for two yards and the first score to top off a quick 54-yard drive and, seemingly only moments later, Stennis rolled right for one yard and another touchdown after Steve Lehor recouvered a Panther fumble.

And, fittingly in a bench clearing game, two freshmen wrapped up the scoring for Hawaii tailback David Toloumu became the last known name to score on a 25-yard run for the lone touchdown in the third quarter. The two freshmen gaining touchdown glory in this one Russell Valente and Duane Coleman, who accounted for much of the running in the final period. Valente broke away on a 14-yard sprint into the end zone early in the final quarter and finished the night with 86 yards. Coleman closed out the scoring with 3:23 left on a one-yard dive and had 30 yards to his credit. Michael Lau, still another freshman, carried 12 times for 48 yards in the fourth quarter spurt.
