As the Memphis paper stated, one OF
the best basket ball games ever seen in
Memphis was played Saturday night,
March 6, in the West Tennessee Nor
NAL gynasium between the girls OF u.
G. II. S. and the Normal sextette. The
game was fast throughout, each team
struggling for victory. The game en-
ded in a tie but it was quickly decided
to play the tie off. Then the real bat
tie began. The ball was shot to the
forwards on both sides time and time
again, only to be hurled back by the
opposing guards. This struggle con-
tinued for about ten minutes, until the
Normal succeeded in caging the final
goal which won the game for them by
two points, making the final score 16
to IA. The U. G. H. S. girls are to be
complimented on holding the Normal
team to this score.
Our centers, Kathleen Burdick and
Bernice Flack, played remarkable
game against overwhelming odds, the
Normal centers being SO much taller,
could easily tip the ball to her for
wards, but their swift passing was
stopped time and again by one of our
centers. Louise Peery, altho her guard
was twice her size, shot several goals
and Edna Wilbanks played her usual
fast game OF ball scoring two field goals
in 80 seconds. The playing for the
guards never ceased and often when
goal seemed inevitable the Normal
forwards we're thwarted by some swift
play by Nell Dahnke or Thelma Jordan
Nell Dahnke played her best game and
her passing was especially brilliant.
The star player OF the Normal team
was blocked on every side by our in
vincible little guard. At the last OF the
game it was aim Jst pitch battle be-
tween these two players.
Another game is to be played here in
the local gym. with the Normal, Fri
day night, March 10. II U. G. III. S.

will decide the championship, will be

1t is an astonishing fact that nine
Of every 10 young women who apply
for screen work are deeply, almost I'M
alterably, convinced that they are par
ucularly fitted by nature' and by their
own cleverness to succeed as motion
picture actresses.
Apparently they have taken unto
themselves the famous reply of the

My face is my fortune, sir, she said!
Most of the girls who apply for work
are, as a matter of fact, pretty, but
mere prettiness is not, unfortunately,
guarantee Of success ip motion pic
lures.
A successful actor before the cam
era must, as a general rule, have regu-
lar features and a graceful carriage.
But success absolutely depends upon
two fundamental characteristics--inte
ligence and an ability to work hard.
My experience leads me to believe
that at least five years of work before
the camera, accompanied by hard study
OF technique, are necessary before the
average player may be called "a good
actor"
The leading motion picture actors be-
came such only after many years of
comparative obscurity, but it is very
ghard to persuade the average candidate
that she or he must also work and
wait.
For instance, it is difficult for a So
ciety woman, accustomed to the exact
requirements of the drawing room or
the dinner table to understand that this
does not, necessarily, fit her to act
in drawing room or dining room scene
for the films. Such scenes are faith
full to real conditions, but must be
carefully staged in order to suggest
reality.
Therefore, my advice to the begin
