Coast Crown In Doubt After Friday By MIKE HUDSON United Press International The basketball champs of the West Coast, Far West and California Collegiate confer ences have been determined, but the issue was still slightly in doubt in the Pacific Coast Conference after Friday night. The two pretenders to the throne, California and Wash ington, each won their tenth straight games Friday, but Washington's hopes grew dim mer. California had a chance to clinch at least a tie for the title with a win over tail-end Washington State last night and could take it all if they take care of Oregon State next week, too. Washington, which was idle last night must conquer both USC and UCLA in Los Angeles next week end to stand even a chance of copping the crown. The Bears downed stub born Southern California 70 64 Friday to run their loop record to 12-2. Big Darrall Im hoff meshed 18, but it was three key second half baskets by sub Bill McClintock that cinched the win. Washington vented its frus trations on Idaho with a 74-51 battering. Earl Irvine bagged 2 points, Bruno Boin 17, and the usually high-scoring Doug Smart had to settle for 12. The Huskies are 11-3 in league play. UCLA and Stanford moved into a tie for third with 8-6 marks by capturing victories in their PCC contests. Torrence Scores 91 - The Bruins chopped Oregon St. 71-59. Stanford dropped Washington St. 59-58. St. Mary's has already clinched the West Coast Ath letic Conference title and the Gaels fattened their lead with a 60-46 thumping of San Jose State Friday. Santa Clara grabbed a tenuous grip on the runner- up slot with a double overtime win over College of Pacific. In one of the night's best tussles, Los Angeles State grabbed off its first CCAA championship with an 84-73 win over San Diego State in the losers' gym. Sacramento State has salted away first place in the Far West conference, with an 8-2 mark. Ace Armstrong Victor in Bout New York -(UPD- Unbeaten Gene (Ace) Armstrong was so impressive while registering his 17th straight victory on Friday night on a near shut out decision that he will be matched with Spider Webb, third - ranked middleweight contender, at Madison Square garden, May 15. Slender, lightning - fast Armstrong of Elizabeth, N.J., beat chunky Italo Scortichini, champion of Italy, by an of ficial 9-1, 9-1, 9-1 score in their 10-round TV fight at the Gar den. All three ring officials gave only the second round to the wild-swinging, black-haired Italian, who weighed 161 pounds to Armstrong's 1573i. Armstrong was favored at 4-1. Poison Oak?

Get a bottle today at WESTERN THRIFT Ice-Skating Featured At Games Squaw Valley, Calif. - (CPD -Norway and Sweden ran away with the trophies in the speed-skating and cross-country races of the North Ameri can championships Saturday but young Bill Disney of Los Angeles captured the hearts of-the 400 fans at the big ice rink when he beat Russia's top 500-meter man in a match race. Disney, who wasn't sup posed to have a chance, won by inches over Genadii Voro nin, the world champion So viet sprinter. Both men were clocked in 41.1 seconds which gave Disney second place. The winners were: 500 -meters Alf Gjest vang, Norway. 500 meters Knut Johan nesen, Norway. 30-kilometer cross-country Sixten Jernberg Sweden. The anticipated smashing of world marks on the artifi cial ice rink failed to mater ialize as a hot sun again melt ed snow and ice and slowed up the speeds. At that, 24 out of the 26 skaters turned in the best times of their lives in the 500-meter event. Gjestvang's clocking was 40.7 only half a second off the world mark. Johannesen's time for the 5000 meters was 8:12, compared with the world mark of 7:45.6.' Sven Laftman, vice presi dent of the internation skat ing union and referee of the race, said the track was "ex cellent" in the morning for the 500, but it was very bad, very1 slow and heavy for the 500-meter run." "The Olympic races will have to be held between six and nine o'clock at night as a result of what we learned today," said Laftman. "In the 500-meter race the skaters were slowed by 15 seconds or more between 10 and 11 a.m." The skating races were run on the European plan two men on the ice at a time, with the race against the clock . Disney, 26, had been slated to run alone at the end of the race, at the odd man in the field. But when Austrian Arthur Mannsbarth withdrew because of illness, Disney was moved up into his place against the great Voronin, who is the 1959 world 500 meter champ. There was a false start, and then the two, flashed away at a blinding pace. It was nip and tuck all the way around with first one, then the other in front. They came to the final wire together in a photo finish with the judges mak ing the final decision.
