Barney Joy was opposed to viii
liams on the slab. and the game was
unusual In that both hurlers cracked
in the middle of the contest, but were
excellent In the first and last part of
it. Williams allowed 10 hits and
Barney nine. the latter keeping 10 of
the IA frames clean OF safe hits, while
the Hawaii twirler pitched eight hit

The game got better as IL progress
