Quite a Relief. Westminster immediately brought Simon a windfall in dog food testimonials and television appearances. It also assured the West Highland terrier breed of an upsurge in popularity, though that can be a questionable blessing. "Popularity is a curse," says Handler Larry Carswell, a spaniel specialist. "People want to be able to say, I got one like the one that won at . . .' or 'This is a distant cousin of the one who won at . . .' There's indiscriminate breeding right away.

...Frank Martin, 6 ft., 5 in., both ve potential as good pivot men. Crichton started at center this year and Martin s sixth man on the squad. The fifth starter, 6 ft., 1 in. Barry Dym, trailed off in scoring after a good start, but remained a good ball-handler and rebounder. They're always saying, "Walt till next year," but this time it could be true...
