Three minutes after they went back at it Stojack took to the rougher stuff and came through with a Boston' crab hold to clinch the finale and the match.

That is. until Matchmaker Tex Salkeld began billing such biggies as the Kahut-Zander and Snapp-Hostak battles for the Rose City, squeeze ing out the not-so-bespangled smaller gladiators. State Feather Champ Richards and the Vanport comer produced a torrid six-rounder in Portland a few weeks ago, and immediately earned a rematch over the longer route. Ortega won that fight via close decision, and rather than hold up the rematch any longer, Salkeld booked it for Salem.

Should Oregon defeat the Bea vers Saturday, which the Ducks have done twice in three games so far. the chances are thaOSC will wind up in a tie with Wash ington for the division gonfalon. Washington is expected to take two wins over Idaho this week end at Seattle. A playoff would be necessary should a tie result in the final standings. 'Bev' Hindered By Leg Injury ST.
