Columbia Courier
Enjoys Rebirth
By Ralph Reed

Way back In the les0's the
first Columbia Courier was
published in Walla Walla for
circulation in this area. which
was even then showing prom.
ises Of becoming the busfling
region we have now developed.
But time was too young. The
founders were just too far
ahead of their time. 80 the
publication languished for q
period and then passed out.
The Columbia Courier was
reborn on March ~. 1902. with
E. p. Greene acting as godfather
for the lustY infant which be.
came the communitY's Courier
Reporter Of this day and date.
Shortly after Mr.. Greene sold
the paper to G. q. Anderson,
the name was changed 70 The
Kennewick Courier. which last
ed until 1914 when the contoli-
dalton with the Reporter took
place.
The big river skirting the
area being covered by this re-
born publication provides q
fitting name for the section.
Its growth and expansion are
certain. thus the old . name
really fits.
Il would be hard for a pre-
sent day resident Of the River
Road area 10 realize what the
district looked like when the
early day Columbia Courier was
circulated. The river was the
highway and steamboats, piled
its waters. Before the time Of

the farm wagons used by the
scattered settlers who lived iso.

the river bank.

One Of the early day land

the river bank some three miles

poplar trees-the only trees. by
the way. east Of the Yakima
river mouth. Strange. too. e

Young Patterson
Star In Rose Bowl

Pasadena, Cal, (NNPA). = Col
ored gridiron stars stole the show
in one of the nations greatest grid
spectacles here last Wednesday
with Buddy Young dancing for two
touchdoWns and Paul Patterson
ploughing for a third as Illinois
swamped the University of Califor-
MIA at Los Angeles, 45-14, before
$4,000 fans in the thirty-third an
nual playing of the Tournament
of Roses.
Ike Owens an end, and Helfback
Bert Piggott also turned in brilliant
performances as Coach Ray Eliot
turned loose his entire road squad
of forty-two men against the
Uclans. sFsa
In the most brilliant performance
of his brilliant career, Buddy car
ried the mail twenty times for the
Illini and picked up 103 yards for
better than an average of five yards
a try. Although he ran the Uclan
ends and tackles silly in his usual
manner, Buddy, weighing only 161
pounds, scored both his touchdowns
on plunges through the center of
the California line.
Young set up the first Illini score
with a dash from his own 16 that
carried to the eight yeard line and
followed it up with another run that
ended on the two-yard marker from
where Rykovich dived for the
score.
In the second period he spanked
a drive from the Illinois 40 that
ended with him plunging center
for his first touchdown.
A minute later, he alternated with
Patterson and Rykovich to real
off another 81 yeard drive that
ended with Patterson crossing the
last stripe.
Near the end of the third quar-
ter Buddy turned in his most bril-
liant performance of broken field
running on a lateral that at one
point found him % yards behind
his own line of scrimmage. The
play ended in a 19-yard gain for
Illinois, and set off another 51-yard
drive that ended with Buddy plung-
ing center for a touchdown on the
first play of the fourth period.
