' UCLA Sure Of Tie For SD Diadem By UNITED PRESS The smoke cleared away and it looked like the UCLA Bruins are a cinch to win the southern division basketball crown, and the right to meet Oregon State for the Pacific Coast Conference championship. The Bruins came from be hind Friday night to defeat the University of California, 55-48, and were assured of at least a tie in the southern loop when the second-place Stanford In dians were dumped by USC, 73-63.

Riverside Sunday. February 20, 1953 Ez Charles Easy Victor Over Norkus By JACK CUDDY New York (U.R) Ex-heavy weight champion Ezzard Charles, somewhat ring-rusty in his latest comeback start, declared today. "I'm still after that title, and I'll be glad to fight either Nino Valdes or Archie Moore next They were the two prospec tive opponents offered as a re ward for Friday night's lopsided decision victory over ninth-ranking Charley Norkus before 5,304 in Madison Square Garden. Norkus was floored once. His left eye was nearly closed. And two front teeth were knocked out in the eighth round, .along with his mouthpiece. None of the three ring officials gave the prematurely gray-haired ex-Marine from Port Washington, N.Y., more than two rounds one on a foul. Face Gashed ' Ezzard's next bout must be no earlier than March 25 because a two-stitch gash at the corner of his right eye and- a bruised left knuckle-bruise had handi capped him in his first fight singe last September's knockout by champion Rocky Marciano in their second title brawl. It was a comparatively dull bout in which 33-year-old Ezzard and 26-year-old Norkus missed too many punches. Norkus fought a one-armed man. He concentrated on left hooks and rarely used his right. Charles used long left hooks, right up percuts and short, chopping rights to the face. The ex-champ displayed some of his old-time power at the start of the ninth round, when he dropped Norkus to his t knees with a straight right to the chin. Charley was up at the count of five, but took the mandatory eight-count.
