Forward Captures Top Dogs Pitted In The Feature At Track, Tonight F. B. Stutz’ Forward cap- tured an easy win last night in the feature race at the Key West Kennel Club when he romped over the 5/16 mile course in just 32.1 seconds. Turning Point was the se- cond place dog while Last. Summer ran third. Running in the post posi-} tion, the winner gained the lead at the halfway post and came in to pay 6.00, 4.00 and 2.60. Turning Point paid 6.20 and 3.60 while Last Summer | returned 4.40. Tonight in the feature at the Kennel Club, some top| talent will go to the post in the feature with Buddy’s Re- ward, Keen Kut Adams looming as the favor- ites. The balance of the field will show Falcon Claw, Some Mix, Reckoning, and Captain Rebel.

New Vandy Mentor | and ° Kris| 9° Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, February 14, 1953 i\Conchs Actually (Won The Ballgame In a dramatic sidelight, which escaped the attention of the fans last night, the Key West High School cage squad won a ball- game in the regulation time and then sacrificed the verdict, in the interest of good sportsmanship, when they went on to drop a two point decision in an. over- time period. This is how it happened; Key West actually owned a one point on the basis of Bob Saw- 's successful foul’ shot in the third period, but the scorekeep- er (not the official, however) failed to post the point on the score board. At the end of the regular time, a check of the book by the of- yeni Dutch Schultz and Steve Atkins, revealed that the Conchs were the winners, although the fans and the opposition thought e ‘notted, 45-45. er, the Conchs agreed to d and play the overtime in which they “lost” the ball- game. 1 BASKETBALL RESULTS COLLEGE BASKETBALL By The Associated Press EAST 58 Rhode Island 81, Vermont 65 Hartwick 70, Scranton 66 Bates 68, MIT 62 Fairfield 92, Neward College 53 Hillyer 94, Binghamton (NY) |Tech 77 Rio Grande (Ohio) 116, Mountain !

The pup is | Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK # — The dog show has come to the Garden and gone without our having sought expert advice on a problem which threat- ens to leave lasting scars on one of the best bred pooches on Long | Island. What we had in mind to ask was whether a dog which is happy and well adjusted to begin with should be taught such tricks as fetching the morning paper off the lawn. There’s probably something about it in the book. The dog which is in danger of becoming unhinged is a cairn ter- rier, not much bigger than a break- fast food box. He’s young and sur- prisingly bright—or was until this thing happened to ‘him. Well, a couple months ago a younger member of the family spent the better part of a Saturday teaching this bundle of nervous energy to tear out and bring in the paper. Once he got it through more pleased with himself. Then one morning there was no paper. Full of vim, our canine igy gave the yard a thorough ~|frisking and returned a crushed dog. He was assured there wa: ed, but he still crept into the most isolated corner hé could find and whined softly through breakfast. What happened, it developed, union had gone out on strike and that the tieup might continue in- hand, end overnight, the principals | indicated. As paperless day followed paper- less day, the nerves of our pixi- lated pup became steadily more ragged. Telling him to relax did no good whatever. He insisted | upon looking, and each morning | his considerable length of tail, which normally staads erect as a | flagpole, was lower when he finally gave up. Fearful that a complete break- down was imminent, the family considered ways and means, One | suggestion Was that a fake, or de- coy, paper be planted the last thing each night until the crisis had’ passed. This plan was discarded after considerable argument. The upshot was that nothing was done, and our frustrated fido was Sigg to go until a few days igo losing weight from his body mee luster from his eyes. There wasn’t a really dry eye in the house on the memorable morning he came wagging in with his mouth full of newsprint again. The strike is ended and the lit- ery, but there still remains the | question we had hoped to propound to some of the more important Should we attempt to break him | of this paper fetching fixation now or risk a recurrence? Who knows but what the paper delivery will dry up again a couple young enough to shake this ex~ | perience: off. Will he bounce back the next time?
