Fourteen-year-old Hawaiian marble champion Francis Kau traveled across the United States to compete in the 1926 National Marbles Tournament. Accompanied by reporter Curran Swint, he paid a visit to Hawaiian Delegate William Jarrett on his way to the games in Atlantic City. Although he ultimately lost the contest to a Kentucky boy, Kau met his Territorial Delegate, traveled by train, and saw snow for the first time in the Rockies.
