March 8, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVXlf Three Quintets in Running For Coast Conference Toga By NEAL CORBETT United Press Sports Writer The Pacific Coast conference j basketball season closes this week end with three teams still hoping for at least a share of the conference title. The University of California presently holds the lead with a 12-2 mark, but the Bears will have to take the sizzle out of the red hot Southern California Trojans if they want to go to the NCAA regional playoffs in Cor vallis as the best in the loop. California has already cinched the Corvallis berth, but will have to down Southern California twice to go as the champion. UCLA and Washington, both barred by NCAA edict, still have a chance to share the spotlight. Bruins Finish UCLA has completed its sea son and boasts a 13-3 record. Washington has an 11-3 mark and is a heavy favorite to sweep its series this week end with Washington State. That means the Bears can't settle for a split In Southern California and certainly can't afford to lose two. A double in means the championship, a split and a Washington sweep in Pull man would mean a three-way tie, and a double loss sends Cali fornia to Corvallis as only third best in the conference. And the Bears may not find the Trojans easy. USC made an unimpressive start this season, but finished with a flourish which included a victory over UCLA.
