A series of games sponsored by the Shriners as a charity event in Honolulu in December 1941 and referred to by some as the Shrine Bowl was interrupted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Willamette University Bearcats and the San Jose State University Spartans travelled to Hawaii to play against each other and the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. The Willamette team lost to the Hawaiians in the opening game on Saturday, December 6, but other games were cancelled when the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941. The teams were among the first civilians evacuated in a convoy to San Francisco a couple of weeks later.[2]
