Edna Ferber, Novelist, Hits Ten

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 17.-Persons
who would achieve success must 'be
themselves" even at the risk of being
thought "goofy," Edna Ferber, the nov
elist, told the graduating class of the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts
Tuesday.
Americans, said she, are a little in
clined to be rubber stamps, perhaps be-
cause we are not quite sure of our
selves. And so, to avoid being laughed
at or talked about or pointed out, we
try to conform a little too much. We
try to be like somebody else, because
we are afraid of being called 'goofy.
Well, think being goofy' is very i'm

The Army Team.

~ the Army team has made a dis
tinct advance since the Pittsburgh

The Army line and the Army back

power, but it has speed and smartness
and a high spirit Of competition. II
also has high-class kicker, passer and
ball carrier in Ken Fields, with two OF
the best ends in the gene in King ano
Kopchak.
And no one is going to see many
guards this season up to Summerfelt's
caliber.
You can figure from this that Yale
had to face a first-claSs foot ball team
but even this hardly excuses an attack
that could make so little headway-an
attack that actually carried a net loss
of 20 or Is yards through the last two
periods.
An attack that makes Is yards for
the enemy and nothing for itself in 80
minutes of play needs quick and de-
cisive change. This condition is plainly
evidenced when the attack comes from
a big line, with such backs as Crowley

which city he went into the majors.
He's gray now, is Cozey. You will
recollect that Dolan and Jimmy
O'Connell of the Giants were bar
red from base ball for life by Judge
Lands in 1924, when it was charged
that O'Connell, at Dolans behest,
had approached Heinie Sand of the
Phillies to throw game.
Few in base ball could believe that
Dolan ever asked O'Connell to do
such a thing, and few could imagine
O'Connell taking the whole thing
seriously.
However, Lands took it seriously
enough and tossed the pair out OF
base ball. O'Connell lives at Fort
Baynard, N. Mex, part of the time
and in his native San Francisco at
other times. He is q carpenter at
the Fort when there is any carpentry
to be done, and stevedore on the
docks when work is available in San
Francisco.
Dolan was a great second base
man in his day, and now he is done.

Auburn's decisive victory over

could accomplish the feat because of
the charge and power of the Tulane

As the game was played, the
Green Wave did not have chance
to function. decisively. Hitchcock
of Auburn ran Sc yards for touch
down after intercepting pass, and
another IS yards to the enemys
goal on wide end run. These are
the things by which great back
proves himself brilliant, scoring in
the critical games.
Hitchcock was ably assisted by a
