DESPITE FINAL LOSS
Season Profitable in Every Way
Enjoyed by Basketers Who
Bow to Blackbirds.

THE Heurich Brewers knew today
the day after" feeling of all but
three Of the basket ball teams which
have played Long Island University
during the last two years, but with
it all we're turning their backs on
a court season which has proved more
than kindly to them.
Despite . 1920 setback in their
last game at the hands of the Long
Island Blackbirds, who were playing
their first professional game. the Brew
ers may contemplate with satisfac-
ton q season which has been as
profitable financially as in compe-
tition.
A record Of l6 victories in 2l games
is the boast of Washington's leading
professional team, and an average at
tendance Of close to 1000 has put
extra bucks in the pockets of Ralph
Bennie. Ev Russell. Tuffy Leemans
Whitley Wilson. Waldo Wegner and
OTIS Zahn every week since mid
December.
Yesterday was the only time during
the campaign that the Brewers lost
a Sunday home game and the Black
birds not only broke that record, but
also a 10-game winning streak
Only three Brewers were able to
score from the floor and only Capt
Bennie did so more than once
Rinaldi proved too good for the
Eastern High School team of 1856
winning an extra period thriller ir

A defeat for Temple would give Pitt
its chance, provided the Panthers

way you look at it. Temple is only one
game from the championship, q VIC
tory for it or defeat for Pitt putting

created Saturday night when Penn
State pulled an upset by nosing out
Pitt, 24-2l.
Only one other change in the cur
rent standings Is possible. George
town can tie Carnegie Tech for fourth
place by beating Penn State at Wash

lose. the Nittany Lions will retain
their third-place berth. If defeated,
G. U. could drop into the cellar only
by West Virginia beating both Temple

COLLECTING OF any kind has its

kinds of collecting that particularly
appeal to the dog owner One Is the

or cocker spaniels, the collection is in
teresting and not particularly difficult
But If one should be interested in
collies or shepherds or Dalmatians OF
Borzois or almost any other breed

worthy of a dog fancier's collection
And what q triumph 1t is to find a
wood or metal or china model that
has points"
Yet one sees . statuette just
often enough to keep up interest
in the chase.
Another kind Of collection Of spe-
cial interest to the dog fan Is that OF
old dog books Some of these are rare
and some are very valuable. This
collection may be limited to books on
the care of dogs. dog stories. Legends
about dogs and many other phases oi
literature about dogs.
A side line is the collection Of dog
show catalogues or stud books or
both. These have . very definite value
in compiling modern histories and
records about dogs, and are often ir
demand by publishing houses ant
