Terp Quint Regains Buscher. HE court contest between George- | town and Maryland is a stand- out only because of the local | rivalry angle. Both schools will be | winding up one of their poorest basket ball seasons in recent years. A vic- tory for Maryland would give it only | an even break in 18 starts. George- | town has triumphed in only 5 of 17 games. | Both Georgetown and Maryland have erratic quints, which occasionally | play over their heads. It is not be- yond the realm of possibility that both | will do that very thing tonight, spurred | on by the natural desire to win from | a local rival. | Georgetown, in spite of a poorer ! record, was a favorite to win until | Maryland regained the services of Bernie Buscher last week and scored | a victory over Johns Hopkins. Easily the best floor man on the squad, Buscher makes a great difference in the play of the Old Line cag- ers and with him in the line-up Mary- land stands an even chance of whip- | ping the Hoyas, Georgetown, of course, will bank on | Capt. Ed Hargaden for the bulk of its scoring. Playing against the toughest | teams in the East all season with only | a mediocre supporting cast to back him up.

These victories, | plus Maryland’s five and the half | dozen compiled by Catholic University, give Washington colleges a record of 14 dual meet triumphs as against three losses. Two of these defeats were sustained by American Uni- versity, which sponsored boxing for the first season and dropped its only | two meets. | In basket ball seven local colleges | cannot show a .500 percentage, al-| though Catholic University, George | ‘Washington and the Wilson Teachers | wound up successful seasons. The | Teachers. with a record of 13 wins and 5 losses, topped all the schools, closely followed by Catholic Uni- versity with 12 and 5 and George | Washington with 14 and 6. | American University was able to win only one game in 15 starts, while | Gallaudet triumphed in only 3 of 13| intercollegiate starts.

One lad who is keeping the pre-season night- mare away from Ever’s couch is Bill Saunders, a crack hurler, who pitched a no-hit game, one-hit game and four- hit game last year as a sophomore. Julian Lindsay is a capable southpaw hurler. Capt. Paul Kelsey is slated to share the backstopping with Dave Jones, a sophomore. Both are capable. McEver plans to develop Walter Dunbrack, an outfielder, into a hurler. Louis Fittro, Franklin Harris and Bud Price are untried mound recruits. Walter Gee, at first base; Joe Russell at second and John Mills and Jimmy Price at short or third, are likely in- field candidates. John Garrett is a promising outfielder: The schedule: April 3.

By the Associated Press. EXINGTON, Ky., March 11. —A champion cime home today, turning his back to the track, on which he gal- lcped to gold and glory, and hun- dreds of horse lovers of the Ken- tucky blue glass turned out to do him honor. Equipoise, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney's great thoroughbred, sec- ond leading money winner of all time, was back from the turf wars, in which he had won $388,610— back from Santa Anita, where he tasted defeat in his last race but lost none of the prestige that was his by right of repeated triumphs. ) el;:omed Home Hundreds of Turf Folk An elaborate homecoming recep- tion awaited him this afternoon at the Whitney farm, participated in by Mayor Charles R. Thompson and County Judge W. E. Nichols, with George A. Bain, nationally known horse auctioneer, as master of ceremonies. The gallant parents of old “Ekky” also will be introduced to the crowd—his sire, Pennant, and his dam, Swinging. Weather per- mitting, the champion will make a farewell gallop on the private train- ing track at the Whitney estate. The reception to Equipoise will be comparable to one given another superhorse, the great Man O' War, when he was retired to the stud 15 years ago. BOXING DEADLINE HERE All Entrants in A. A. U.

In sentimental \/ \/ value, it is often priceless. But so, too, is its humble brother, the mongrel purp. The pedigreed dog, however, does have a definite, cash value, based like other merchandise, on the costs of produc- tion and distribution The value of the occasional “fiyer” or sure show winner is based on rarity like a genuine cbject of art or an- tiquity, and like them its cash value is very high. But it is frequently a matter of great surprise to the unini- tiated dog purchaser that an ordinary, ASPIN HILL WEDIDIT HAGERTY, The puppy that won the blue ribbon in the puppy bitches class at Madi- son Square Garden and again at Canton, Ohio. She, with her ken- nel mate, High Time II, who won reserve winners at Canton, have a date with the Southern circuit. They plan on bringing home a bunch of blue ribbons and some purple ones, too. run of the kennel, pedigreed pup is priced at from $25 to $100. S. 8. Van Dine, who went in for Scotties in a big way, figured that each puppy that he bred and raised to the age of 4 months cost him ap- proximately $200. And he had figures to prove it! But Van Dine imported much of his breeding stock, fed his dogs on the most expensive of foods, had elaborate and expensive kennel equipment and very expensive kennel help. The average breeding kennel does the job at considerably less expense. Yet Harbison, the well known dog writer and kennel editor, placed the cost of raising a cocker spaniel to the age of 4 months at $45. OWEVER, the most common age for selling puppies in this neighborhood is 8 weeks. In order to arrive at an average cost of raising a puppy to that age I inter- viewed a breeder of Great Danes, one of Boston terriers, one of Scottish terriers and one of collies. Averag- ing their figures one gets a stud fee of $30, the cost of keeping the mother dog for nine months (that means two litters in 18 months, common breeding practice with the better breeders), $40; cost of keeping the pups from weaning time to 8 weeks, $12; veterinarian’s fees, $15; advertising, $4. Total, $101. Average numbet of pups raised to the litter, three. Average cost of raising each pup, $33 plus. This does not take into account original investment in kennels, equip- ment, breeding stock, etc. It does not take into account kennel help or one’s own labor. It does not take into ac- count the inevitable kennel catas- trophes like scourges of distemper, sterility in high-priced stock and w of missing with the best of ‘matrons.

She was picked | up in a deserted house when her babies were scarcely dry. Her expression as | she licks her little brood in the pres- | ence of terrifying strangers is one of | fear that they are going to deprive | her of her family and hope that they | won't. Ebony is a collie that insists on mothering something. Since the new baby has come to Beach Tree Farm, he has been her special charge. But the other day Ebony was in an awful | plight. One of the farm sows had stolen away and had a litter of pigs in the woods. One of the piglets was | found wet and chilled and brought into the house to be placed on an electric pad and warmed. There was the baby at one end of the living room and the new pig at the other. | Both were making infantile noises and both needed to be guarded. Which end of the room needed her most? Things were not so bad while the | mistress was home, but when she left matters got desperate. All the other dogs had to be kept away from botn babies. How to do it? When the mistress came home she found a liue | of collies and Scotties sitting in the living room door, gazing wistfully to- | ward their favored spots near the ;flrepllce. while Ebony paced back and forth before them. | Sometimes the fame of a dog is so | great that he is known even to the | postal authorities.

The hazards of dog raising often are physical as well as mental and financial. Mrs. N. McBeth, cocker spaniel breeder, stumbled as she en- tered her kennel yard to feed her dogs and broke her ankle. She is recuperating nicely, but somebody else feeds the dogs these days.

Hamas' Arm Injured. LTHOUGH Hamas declined to of- AA fer any alibis, saying simply. “1 ran into a better man.” his mana- ger, Charley Harvey, declared Steve had sprained a ligament in his left arm a week ago and still was suffering from the effects of the injury. A German physician said he had treat- ed the American for five days.

He was a 3-1 favorite at the outset, but few ex- pected he would win so easily. Hamas, slow and uncertain, never | had a chance against the short, ac- curate punching that marked Schmel- ing’s masterly performance.

The round barely | had opened when Schmeling’'s right crashed home and Hamas went | down for a count of nine. Twice more ! the Jerseyman went down, each time taking a nine count, and only the bell | saved him. Hamas scarcely could raise a glove | in his own defense in the last two | rounds and his face scarcely was rec- ognizable at the finish. lF you have Eczema, Ringworm or Athlete’s foot CLAYTON will give you immediate relief.
