Some dock operators fought hard against the settlement, finally gave in at the insistence of the hard-hit Matson Navigation Co. (with 18 freighters and the luxury liner Lurline immobilized) and sugar planters (plagued by $61 million worth of raw sugar piled up in the islands). The strike had cost the islands an estimated $100 million loss in business and wages. Even with the settlement accepted by both sides, Hawaiians had to wait a while before normal shipping was resumed: the union insisted on clearing up some fringe issues before letting its stevedores go back to work...

The only thing that stopped them was rain, and that for only 24 hours. Next night, against a supposedly strong Boston College team, Halfback George Thomas ran the opening kick-off back for 95 yards and a touchdown. By game's end, Oklahoma's split-T formation had rolled up 358 yards on the ground and another 48 by passing. Final score: Oklahoma 46, Boston College...
