Post-Season Prime. The fastest, roughest basketball of all comes in the post-season games of the N.I.T. and N.C.A.A. championships, whose finals were played off last week. When perennially inept New Mexico suddenly got ept this year and landed in the N.I.T., Albuquerque kicked in $6,000 for a special single-city telecast of its heroes.

The cat and the terrier tag along, perhaps vaguely aware that they are going back where they belong but certainly unaware that in order to get there they must somehow cross some of the roughest country in Canada...
