In almost any situation short of stark tragedy, they can see the comical side of their troubles. To this happy trait is attributable the apparent paradox that finds one of the funniest movies of the season based on America’s prime postwar headache—home building. The movie is “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House,” a film version of the novel which Eric Hodgins wrote from his own build- ing experience in Connecticut. It tells the story of Jim Blandings, a New York advertising man with a wife and two daughters, who de- cides to escape the confines of Man- hattan by building a home in the country. This feature opens at the Capitol Theatre Sunday. The problems which then beset the Blandings range from windows that don't fit to a budget that fits less. A variety of major mishaps drives the Blandings almost to dis- traction and the audiences almost to hysterics. With wry i wit and the expert j comedy technique for which they are famous, Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvyn Dougl make gay theater of their tribulations. Warned by such personalizing influences, the amusing whimsy of Hodgins’ best-seller comes alive on the screen in a blend of hilarious episodes and sparkling dialogue. The building in- dustry gets its expected share of digs, but the ribbing is always good- gets hurt. SKAGWAY 5 BEATS JUNEAU BY #1-32; VISITORS FLASHY Things got “moocho” hot for the local prima donnas in the basket- ball opera as the blue and gold garbed invaders from Skagway ran rampant in a wildcat first quarter to build a lead which thereafter could never seriously be considered in danger of being overcome. On the top, Hansen-to-Ninnis-to- | Sperling caged 2 points. For Skag- way, Tunley potted a duce for the | keyhole. “Welch, who dat?” Robert Welch is a five-foot nine-incher from Skagway High School and due him is a lion’s or should we say Panther’s size share of the credit for last night's Early in the first period, working drews (a whale of a ball-hawk) and Jim Beitinger (equally adept), he slashed the hemp with three beauti- ful set-shots from the far court, which apparently shattered the Ju- neauites zone. With the J-Hi de- fense smashed, the Panther horde went into action. Lanky Art Tun- ley, working under the basket, net- ted four points and Andrews came through with a looping push-shot. “Itch” Hansen, the Bear's satellite, whose grit and grind was holding the fast crumpling Juneau quintet together, sneaked in a cripple. Jim Beitinger reinforced the already preponderant lead with a well-ex- ecuted jump-shot from ten feet out. At the quarter: Skagway 17, Ju- neau 4. Starting the second period, Lloyd Sullivan sparkled for the Panthers. Twisting and leaping into the air he registered with a set of spectacu- lar shots. Elroy Ninnis, Jr., got 4 points in a slow scoring second quar- ter during which only 5 FG's were garnered. The Panthers increased their lead by one point as Welch again came through with a set-shot from mid-court. At the half: Pan- thers 24, Juneau 10. Focusing on the latter half, the Juneau boys were in the driver’s seat. Davy Graves, Bear forward now earning his third letter, potted 4 of the 5 field goals ascribed to his team this quarter. Skagway’s scor- ing action, due to a resolute defen- sive barricade, was confined chiefly to charity tosses. Center Art Tunley cropped a pair of these and flashy Lloyd Sullivan sunk the lone Pan- ther FG in this quarter. Skagway 31, Bears 21. J-Hi's squad entered the final period, resolved to conquer, only to find an equally resolved Skagway pack, with the scent of victory in | their nostrils, who were not to be denied. The Skagits matched the Bear clan point for point but no- thing matched the last quarter victory by Skagway.| off of screens by Capt. Willle An- | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRFE—JUNEAU, ALASKA performance of Dick Hansen whose tireless efforts and dogged tenacity kept an outstyled quintet in the running until the final minutes. His board work, defensive play. and offensive contribution of 12 points made hir outstanding in last night's field of basketballers. The horn blew to catch a desperate Juneau mob picking up speed, but still 9 points behind a banner Skagway Panther team. Final: Panthers 41, J-Hi 32. Tonight a wiser and tougher team from the Bear’s den will square off against a strong Panther array, steel-braced and determined to make it two straight and gain the championship of the northern di- vision, Southeast Alaska. It's sure to be a thriller. Don’t miss ig! Last Night's Box Scores Skagway Panthers FG FT TP Andrews % ) 3 Beitinger 4 Tunley 12 Gordon 2 Welch 14 Sullivan Total Personal Fouls: 16.

The Cougars went in front early at 5-4, stretched their margin as high 14 points a few times, sagged at the three-quarter mark, then rallied to score a 54-46 victory over the University of Washington Huskies in Seattle. Idle Oregon State College moved into second place ahead of the once dominant Huskies who must come back against the Cougar tonight or kiss their title hopes goodbye. BOB FELLER PREDICTING ON BASEBALL ARLINGTON, Tex., Feb. 18— Bob Feller, Cleveland Indian hurler, sees the 1950 American League baseball campaign as a four-club scramble, “I'm not saying whether the In- dians will win the pennant,” Feller said today. “Of course, the Yankees and the Red Sox will be tough clubs. Boston has had a good club for the past two seasons.” The Cleveland fireballer begins his 12th campaign with the Tribe this year. SANTA ANIA ARCADIA, Calif., Feb. 18—(M— Your Host, with a tremendous load of public fancy on his back, dom- ! inated pre-race speculation today as a field of one dozen awaited the start of the $100,000 Santa Anita Derby. Prospects were excellent for -an ideal day and a fast track for the thirteenth renewal of Santa Anita’s rich wintertime classic for the three-year-old division. The track looked for upwards of 50,000 fans but there was doubt that attendance would excel the| record derby throng of 61,000 which witnessed the 1948 edition.
