BIG MARGIN

Leading from the starting whistle,
the Crimson Bears last night
trounced the Dolphins by one
sided score of Sc to IA in the High
School gym. Dapcevich, forward,
and Mead, center, lead the Bears
in tallying. The latter, freshman,
played his initial game on the first
string, and if he continues to inn
prove, will prove formidable to Ju-
neau High opponents in the future.
Dapcevich went in for Scott, who
was taken out after three fouls,
end did a good job of filling
SCOTS shoes. He chalked up five
field goals with apparent ease.
The Dolphins had bad luck all
around-all their attempts to score
were hurried, and they never got
into their stride. Perrone is credit
ed with the majority of the visitors
count, making good on five free
throws and one field goal
An unscheduled match between
the Bears and Bankers materialized
out of nowhere, catching everyone
by surprise including the Off as
Donald Anderson and Herbert Mead
volunteered as referees, and five
minute quarters were played. The
Juneau Reserves were on the floor
tor most of the time, and took the
Bankers measure to the tune of 10
to 49,
Following are the box scores:

PURCHASING AGENT TO SELECT AUTO
Board Gives Henry J. Bowling Full Authority
 to Obtain Car

Prolonged discussion was con- conducted by members of the Board of Education last night on pur- chase of a car for the assistant truant office when 1t was revealed three bids had been presented but only one of the cars conformed to specifications made in the Boards advertisement.
 The bids were made as follows: Waterbury Nash O., $1,309. .95; Moody Wilcox Motor O., $1,282.73; William J. Fitzpatrick, $l,275.
 It was pointed out that the bids had been requessed for a Chevrolet coach and only one of the cars in the three bids was a Chevrolet. Commissioner Harold Parkinson stated he saw no reason why 8 limitation should have been made to one make of car and said if the board had advertised just for a coach there might have been other bids.
 Attention was called to the fact that all three bids were in the vic- inity of the announced $500 ap- propriation for the car, and one of the commissioners commented 1t was unfortunate the amount of the appropriation had to be known.
 After discussing the pros and cons of letting the Board select the car, the commissioners voted to refer the bids to Henry Bowling, pur- chasing director of the city. subject to confirmation of such action by the corporation counsel. It was pointed out that purchasing agent could view all cars offered and be in position to purchase the best car for the available amount of money.

Mexican Movies Menace Mastery IOf Latin America By Hollywood
U. s. STUDIOS PLAN PRODUCTION SOUTH OF BORDER

Independents who saw the light early are Norman Foster, we'll known Hollywood director, and Dudley Murphy. Lupe Velez speaks of directing Emil Zolais Mana" Frank Borzage, the director, and Lloyd Nolan, the actor, have in- vested in a Mexico City production. COMIC HAS OWN COMPANY
 There are three major Mexican companieS-Clase, Azteca and Mundiales Films. Mario Moreno Cantiflas Is Mexico's No. 1 come dian and has his own company.
 Mexico City has modern studios and equipment which turned out 68 pictures in 1043, will make 100 this year. Pictures can be made in Mexico for one-quarter of their cost in Hollywood. This country has its own stars. There is no labor trouble, and wages are low.
 Bryan Toy estimates that he could make six pictures a year here at 8 cost of $80,O00 each, and that they would net $150,0OO apiece. That's a greater margin of profit than most Hollywood productions show.
 Jorge Negrete, six feet three, handsome and moustachioed, Is Mexico's outstanding male per- former. Hollywood would like to grab both him and the great Can- tinflas, but no dice.
 Negrete, who blocks trafic in Central and South America, speaks perfect English, and has splendid voice, but failed in Hollywood sev- eral years ago and refuses to re- turn. He feels that he was not treated right in 8 thing Hal E.. Roach called Fiesta"
 STARS MAKE BIG MONEY
 Negrete, the Clark Gable of our neighboring republics, gets S0,000 pesos, or more than $16O00, plus percentage privilege. for personal appearances.
 Cantinflas is a rough comedian who appeals to the mob. Dialog puts him across, and he outgrosseS all American comedians.
 Maria Felix is Mexico's first lady of the screen. She and other outstanding feminine stars such as Gloria Marin, Mapy Cortez, Maria Elena Marques and SuSana Guizar, also cause trafic jams.

By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Staff CorresnOndenk

Mexico City, Feb. 29.-Mexican movies are usurping the Central and South American markets so rapidly that Hollywood producers are moving in to protect themselves.
 The loss of the Latin American field would mean from $750,00 to $1 100000 2 year to each Amer ican company, say Hollywood ofn- cials and producers who are here now. That would total between $6,00O, 900 and $8.OO0,0OO a year to the industry, and in normal times it could be the difference between profit and loss. For a long time. Hollywood's profits were about equal to its revenue from foreign markets. Home consumption merely paid the freight.
 Peter RathboI1e, president of RKO. is in Mexico City inspecting building sites. Joseph Schenck plans to make fiickers here. So does Bryan Foy of 20th Century Fox. Lou Anger, head of United Artists Theaters, and Charles Skourasf president of Fox West Coast Theaters, are looking into the situation.
