COLORS: Cherry-red and Navy Blue. F you will carefully observe the above pictures you will notice several peculiarities. The Cayuse Staff was puzzled, and being unable to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the mystery, went to the psychology teacher with it. . Mr. Evans examined it from every angle and at last said: This is evidently a mutant, that is, a spontaneous deviation or a sudden variation from type. It is called discontinuous variation. These are certainly photographs of the freshman class. Yet the characteristic traits of Freshmen are not present. They show no evidence of freshness or greenness. The absence is strikingly mani- fested. The secretary-treasurer of the class was apparently un- moved by the threats, entreaties, and commands of the Cayuse Staff to have a picture taken for the annual. However this shows originality and may be indicative of genius. This mutation may be a fortunate thing as the class may prove to be a credit to Columbia. We are looking for this class to be an honor to the school. The freshmen have loyally supported student activities. Their motto, Steering, not drifting, is a creditable aim. Watch in the coming years for the class of '27, Page Thirty-Eight

As the season developed enthusiasm ran higher and the men realized that in Coach Pontius, former Kansas City University and Missouri Normal football' star! they had a man who could teach them many tricks of the grid- iron. First the fundamentals of the different positions on the line and in the backfield were taught thoroughly and as a result the team play- ed real football as the season wore on. The Columbia team won its first game of the sea- son Saturday, Qctober 12, from the Umatilla Indians at Pendleton, Oregon, on Round-Up Park. The Indians were unable to get within 30 yards of the Cayuses' goal line, while the Col- legians at several stages of the game took the pigskin within 5 vards of a touchdown. Vimont kicked a pretty field goal in the third quarter and the Game was without further scoring, end- . . ?' mg Wlfh the ball in Columbia's possession on the 3-yard line. Coach Pontius Friday, October 19, the team played Dayton- VVashington, there. The Cayuses remembered the stinging defeats administer- cd them by Dayton during the two years past and went on the field with a determination to partly even up the score. Dayton - - elected to kick off. Both teams tried hard to score in the first half and carried the ball deep into each other's territory. VVith M.
