HONOLULU – Richard "Dick" Ueoka, the co-captain of the 1955 University of Hawai'i football team which upset Nebraska, 6-0, in Lincoln, Neb., will serve as the Rainbow Warriors' honorary captain for Saturday's game against UC Davis.
 
Kick-off is 6:07 p.m., at Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium. Ueoka will accompany the UH captains for the coin toss.
 
This year marks the 60^th anniversary of the 1955 season. The victory over Nebraska was considered the biggest upset in school history. Ueoka, an end from Hanapepe, Kaua'i, co-captained the squad along with Hartwell Freitas, who scored the game's lone touchdown.
 
One year after losing to the Cornhuskers 50-0 in Honolulu, the 40-point underdog Rainbows travelled to Lincoln with a 27-man squad. In 95-degree heat and 26-mile-per-hour winds, the "Roaring" Rainbows went ahead 6-0 in the fourth quarter with Freitas' touchdown and Skippy Dyer broke up a pass deep in UH territory in the waning moments to preserve the victory.
 
Members of the 1955 team will join the UH football team for a team dinner, Friday, and speak with the team pre-game, Saturday. The team will be recognized to the crowd at the first timeout of the first quarter.
