Mixed Races to
Play Football
iy United Press Leased Wire


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18.--With
rain threatening to mar the open
attack both teams are noted for, the
red skinned football warriors of
Haskell University and the tanned
veterans of Honolulu S all-star team
were to meet this afternoon i'll what
promises to be one of the most uni
que intcrsectional contests ever wit
messed here.
Both teams are undcfeatcd on the
gridiron this season, but the In
dians from Lawrence, Kansas, enter
the game slight favoritcs because Of
thcif recognized scoring power. The
Haskell team has run up 51S points
against opponents this year, 1870
points more than any other collcg-
late team in the country.
Among other unique aspects of
the game are the fact that Char and
kaakua, who do the kicking for the
Hawaiians, boot the ball with their
bare feet, the Haskell war cry
shouted by the entire team as each
play goes into execution, and the
mingling of four races, white, red,
brown and yellow on thc two teams.
