ONE RUNWAY WAS CLOSED SO, RWY 5-23 WAS BEING USED. PRIOR TO DEPARTURE, THE WIND SOCK AT THE RWY END INDICATED THAT THE WINDS WERE FROM 090 AT 8 KTS. THE TERMINAL WIND SOCK SHOWED WINDS FROM 140. THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, ACCORDING TO THE PIC. DURING THE FLIGHT, THE PRACTICING PILOT COMMENTED THAT THE CROSS WIND WAS INCREASING. ON THE FINAL LANDING THE AIRPLANE VEERED RIGHT, OFF OF THE RUNWAY, & COLLAPSED THE LEFT MAIN GEAR. THE PILOT SAID THAT AFTERWARDS THE WIND WAS NOTED TO BE ABOUT 190-200 DEGREES AT ABOUT 18 KTS.
