on exchange of punts and Captain T. Bennett's end runs, carried the ball once more close to their opponents goal where Vimont booted a nice drop kick between the' bars from the 20-yard line. The Cayuses were determined to make the score as big as possible and took the ball again to the 30-yard line where another kick was tried but fell short. Game ended 10-0. On Friday, October 26, the Cayuses journeyed to Athena to meet a much heavier aggregation. Athena elected to kick off and during the first half neither team was able to get closer than 20 yards to a touchdown. The second half opened with Columbia receiving the kick-off which was returned 10 yards. After this the Cayuses began a steady march up the field. A long completed pass put the ball on Athenais 2-yard line. A line bucknetted l yard! but on the next play, a bad pass from center, and a fumbled ball resulted in Athena recovering, after which the ball was punt- ed far down the field. Columbia had lost her chance to score and had to tighten her defense for the remainder of the game in order that her goal would be safe. During the last quarter Athena pounded the Columbia line hard and had visions of a possible touchdown. But eyery play was met gallantly by the Columbia forwards with Vimont, Metcalf, Henninger and Campbell bearing the brunt of the attack. Columbia held and took the ball after which a series of passes worked the pigskin to Athena's 40-yard line. The next pass was intercepted by an Athena back on his own 20-yard line which he returned to Columbiais 30-yard line, where he was stopped by a furious tackle from Metcalf. Once more the Columbia line was pounded and Harden broke through but was stopped dead in his tracks by M. Bennett, Columbia's right defen- sive half. Thus ended one of the most spectacular games of the season. - LINE SHIFT RIGHT? Page Forty-One

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.
