There's a kiikj ot tunny situa-
tion in the Pacific Coast Conference
this fall
As >ou know, the conference has
dissolved effective next June The
breakup came in part because of
heavy penalties imposed on some
of the schools. California. UCLA

paith because the California
mhoots were balking at playing
the northern colleges They wanted
lucrative uitersectional games in-
stead
However, with one last confer-
ence title to be decided it looks as
though it will go to a northern
school

Washington State has 2*> letter-

Crawford Picked
To Beat Ortega
iBy ASSOCIATED PRESS)
A quir k rematch will pair Gaspar
Citega the Mexican Indian and
Mickey Crawford, the Michigan
Irishman, at New York's Madieon
Square Gr.rden tonight.
They fought as recently as July
ilth at the big Manhattan Arena
and Ortega won a split decision.
■ -If- Gaspar wins again he just
might giaduate into a shot at Vir-
gil Akins the champ ot all the
welterweights
Crawford, of course, has his own
ideas on the subject. Mickey can
talk as fast as he can box . . and
that's quick quick, quick.
Mickey, an artist by trade, says:
"I'll bring all my paint brushes
this time He'll gel hit so many left
jabs he won't know whether he's
a fighter or a retouched Rem-
brandt."
Actually, these are two good
lighters. Both are veiy willing.
Neither is a rearing puncher. But
both can throw quick combinations.
Crawford probably is a shade
faster and Ortega is more exper-
ienced and possibly strongei.
Ortega has had three tights this
