Paul McDonald A Google News Archive search for Drake University and the Aloha Bowl comes up with this
[1] which has nothing to do with the supposed cancelled game. Here's another search
[2] for the Aloha Bowl getting certification. All the articles say it took place in 1982 and none make mention of a cancelled 1981 game. This article has the smell of a hoax or at the very best the work of someone's misguided memory.

Merge - This was a college football bowl game that was cancelled. This game gets no presumption of notability as a bowl game that was never played, and including the infobox with empty box score is gratuitous and a little bit bizarre. About two sentences of this history (with added sources) need to be merged to the history section of the
Aloha Bowl main article, and the rest can be consigned to the editorial dustbin.

Delete - I've changed my !vote. I've conducted multiple Google searches, and reviewed all of the sources in the 1981 and main Aloha Bowl articles, and I can find no reference to the actual scheduling and cancellation of the 1981 Aloha Bowl. In the absence of any reliable sources, this article needs to be deleted rather than selectively merging content to the main article.
