He intercepted a pass and raced 40 yards to a touchdown. Captain T. Bennett as usual did some excellent kicking and was not to be stopped when he raced around the ends and twisted through the tackles for more than his share of the scores. During the last half Columbia made 4 touchdowns while the Umatilla team did not get within the Cayuses' 30-yard line. Game ended 41-O. The l923 team was the most successful ever turned out in the history of Columbia, having only 3 points scored against it and going through the season without a defeat.

HAROLD GILLIS I End Gillis was light but fast and could be down on a Safety before he had caught the punt. Harold could catch passes and block an opposing e11d. He played part of the time in 'two games. MARVIN BENNETT Quarterback Marvin's first year at quarter prov- ed that he could handle the job. He chose the right play at the right time, could carry the ball for good gains and run excellent interference. Page Forty-Four EARL BREWSTER Fullback Brewster was an excellent passer, could run good interference and was a real defensive man against aerial attack. Captain THOR-SON BENNETT was one of the most consistent ground gainers on the team. His runs with the ball were many and long. He was good at receiving passes, calling Signals when needed and kicking. He earned special mention .fagiainst the strong Kennewick team by having carried the hall back for a touchdown on the kick-off. DWIGHT VIMONT Captain-Elect Right End Vimont could take passes and make yardage, too, but above all could be depended upon to put a drop kick be- tween the bars from any position in- side the 40-yard line. In him Colum- bia has a good leader for the next football season. WINSTON SAUNDERS Left End Saunders found himself i11 the last game, and the opposition could not stop him. He was fast and a hard- hitting defensive back. He will be an excellent man for the team next year.
