By , HAL WOOD - San Francisco (U.R) Wash ington and UCLA clash in the southland tonight and tomorrow in what may be the tell-tale series for the Pacific Coast Con ference championship and a berth' in the NCAA play-offs. Although both, teams have been bounced around more than somewhat in non-conference en gagements, : they look powerful inside their own loop.' UCLA, with an over-all record of 10 wins against five defeats, has a perfect 4-0 record inside the conference; the Huskies, win ners of nine and beaten seven times over-all, have a 5-1 mark in league play. ..'This clash is expected to steal some of the thunder from the upstart California Basketball Association race, which will feature the University of San Francisco Dons going after their 42nd consecutive triumph, to night against Loyola of Los An geles. New Star UCLA fans who have , been used to watching such great per formers as Moorie Taft and Willie Naulls in action, will get to see something new in Bruno (Bonco) Boin one of the finest young hook-shot artists to come along in recent years. ' Boin is only 18 years old and a sophomore, but he stands six feet, eight inches tall and still is , growing. He has developed an overhead hook, shot from the corner, of the floor that is tre mendously successful and so far this season tie has averaged 16 points per game which isn't bad for just a beginner. But the Bruins, playing in their own back yard, are slight, favorites to win and help Coach Johnny Wooden along toward an other championship. In his seven previous years at UCLA, Wood en has led his club to five divi sion championships , 1 and two league crowns.

The Syracuse Nationals, de fending champions in the Na tional Basketball association, were ready to launch a drive for a playoff berth today now that team - Captain Paul Seymour is back in harness. y Fully recovered from a broken wrist suffered early last month, Seymour came off the bench Thursday; night to spark the Na tionals to a comeback 97-89 vic tory over the Rochester Royals. . It was the Nats' first victory in their last four games and moved them to within three games of the third-place. New York Knickerbockers, who drop ped an 88-87 verdict to the Phil adelphia Warriors on the same bill at Syracuse.

Still, Trying , Southern California, which also is in the running for the tilte with a 5-1 record in conference play, takes on Oregon on the Webfoots home floor. Oregon has a 2-4 record inside the loop but in this league, it always is hard to win a game away from ahead for Tony Psaltis and corn home, so there may be trouble pany. In other conference series of the week-end, California plays host to the defending champion Oregon State Beavers and if the game goes according to Hoyle, it will be a surprise. So far at California there have been the penny throwing and deep freeze episodes so Coach Pete Newell probably would just as soon 'play some straight, old-fashioned race-horse basket ball. The Bears will be favored. Bob Baker, Jackson Vie New York; '(U.R) Burly Bob Baker and lanky Tommy (Hur ricane) Jackson, two high heavy weight contenders with sharply contrasting styles, will fight to night m a TV-radio elimination 10-rounder at' Madison Square garden. The winner can continue to campaign for a September title shot at Rocky Marciano. "Rocky definitely will not be ready un til September," Manager Al Weill said today. Baker of Pittsburgh is favored at 9-5 to beat clownish Jackson of Far Rockaway, N.Y.,-because of his 13 straight victories, his superior boxing skill and his harder punch. Also big Bob is ranked second among contend ers; Jackson, third. However, Tommy's admirers claim the 22-year-old hurricane has just the style to beat lethar gic, 29-year-old Baker, a plod ding counter-puncher who lacks aggressiveness. inson, Olson Bout on April 27 Los Angeles (U.R) Tru man Gibson, executive secretary of the International Boxing club, was expected to .arrive here to day, to complete arrangements for a middleweight title fight between-champion Ray Robinson and ex-title holder Bobo Olson, April 27. Robinson already has signed for the return bout but . Olson and his manager, Sid: Flaherty, asked to review the terms of the match. Robinson, who won the title from Olson by . a " knockout, would be guaranteed $75,000 and the privilege of taking 30 per cent of the net gate should the percentage exceed $75,000.

Harrison Clarke, are visiting each of the high schools to ad minister physical fitness index tests to 100 boys and 100 girls. Following the testing, the pupils with the lowest PFI scores will be selected for special develop mental activities to , improve their physical fitness. Individual Needs - This program will be adapted to meet the individual needs of pupils based upon studies of the cause of the low fitness of each pupil.

At the end of three months, retests will be given at each of the schools to determine pupil prog ress and program effectiveness. The testing will serve to check on the physical fitness of boys and girls in Oregon high schools, This check is regarded as par ticularly important at this time in view of figures on the com parative 'fitness of American and European children appear ing in the national press. Dr Hans Kraus of New York City reported from his studies that The '56 Ford is truly a fine car in every sense of the word. It's the only car with Thunderbird inspired lines.'
