chance to make your contract-if
certain cards are in some particu-
lar position-you should try for
that break. Maybe the odds are
heavily against finding them that
way. But isn't IL better to take a
shot at the long shot than su-
pinely accept defeat? Even II the

Conference
Near Climax

Chicago. Feb. 10-AP-The West
ern Conference was a step closer to
showdown in it's complicated bas.
ketball title race today.
Ohio State, which had some diff
Guilty subduing Wisconsin at Co
lumbus last week, romped over the
Badgers last night, 1894, to stand
alone, temporarily at least, at the
top. Northwestern, beaten five
straight, was in sixth place after
hating a Michigan threat last night
by trampling the Wolverines, 1894.
The Wildcats climbed from tie
for the cellar by beating Michigan.
But the showdown on what to
expect probably will develop to-
night when all three leaders-Ohio
State, Iowa and Illinois-play.
The Buckeyes, fresh from their
victory over Wisconsin at Madison,
meet Northwestern in the first
game of a doubleheader at Chicago
Stadium. Iowa, tied with Ohio for
first place until last night, play
Indiana at Bloomington. Illinois
goes to Minnesota.
Despite the records OF the top
three teams, the topsy-turvy Con-
ference race offers nothing as a
background to assure them OF vic
tories tonight. Minnesota, Illinois
foe, holds victory over Purdue,
early conqueror OF Ohio State. In
diana, entertaining Iowa, also has
beaten Purdue. Minnesota, meet
ing lllinois-Iowa's only conquer
or-has beaten Indiana.
In the only other conference
game. Michigan plays at Wisconsin.
Last night, Ohio State had little
trouble dumping Wisconsin. Led

way, too, in handing Michigan

Attorney Of it and Of her finger
prints on the drawer Of the desk
where Conrad had been accustomed
to keep the missing medicine box
(that to me was anything but miss

Soper ordered an immediate and

she got out the window and it was

little row Of shoes. No matter what
the police said, knew it wasn't
escape. Craig knew it, too.
Lieutenant Nugent gave orders
that started q hurried search by
telephone, radio and police cars,
with alarms sent to neighboring
states and hurriedly reinforced
squads of state troopers searching
the hills.
Much Of the inquiry itself took
place in Craig's room; Soper
phoned frantically in a dozen diff
ferent directions; he believed that
Drue had escaped. He suggested
that she'd got a ride with passing
motorist. And he blamed Nugent
for letting her get away.
1t was horrible day. Yet things
happened. The police inquiry, for
instance. Nugent's questions when

heard that, too, for the Lieuten-
ant had Nicky come to Craig's
room. And the curious thing was
the fatness and holiness Of Nicky's
denial. It sounded true; his eyes
were bright and inquisitive, but no
wasn't frightened, even when Bee
vens. summoned also, said he
couldn't have been mistaken and
seemed very nervous but certain.
Nugent finally dismissed them both.
Sometime that morning (think-
ing Of what knew and what | only
guessed Of the attempt upon Craig's
life) it occurred TO me that if tho
person who tried to kill Craig was
not the same who had killed his
father, then an abb for the time
Craig was shot did not automatic
ally constitute an abb for the time
Of his fathers or Claud Chivery's

alone, l asked Craig again about

garden just before he was shot
After q moments thought he said,

Latin Film
At Cinema

IF "DONA BARBARA" cur
rently showing at the Cinema
Theater, is Mexico's prize winning
film as publicized in the ads, then
there's fortune waiting for some
enterprising Hollywood pic
ture producer who will take the
chance of turning out celluloid
stories in that Latin country.
BY far one of the better south
of the border film products to
come this way, "Dona Barbara"
nevertheless has too many faults
which keep it down to a "B" level
movie.
The acting abilities of Maria
Felix and Julian Soler, leading
characters, are above question.
There's quite a few tense dra-
matte moments and the continuity
is beyond belief. But, the cutting
room experts must have taken a
SieSta because its running time
ruins its chances for any film
greatness.
1t is strange. too, that Latin
folks can babble so fast and
furious in Spanish and say so
little in the English subtitles,
many of which were omitted at
the height of interesting Sc
quences. 1t is frustrating to those
of us who only understand Eng
hSh.
With locales in Mexico City and
Venezuela, the film is a story of
a beautiful girl who develops a
hatred toward all men after being
forcibly seduced by a group of
viSciOuS Seamen. She rises TO
wealth and power in the ranch
country. wreaking her vengeance
on males who oppose her. But
she meets her Waterloo in the
person of handsome, brainy
cowboy who proves that a woman
dictates only from her heart.
