NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-While

whether Great Britain and the
United States can afford to stage
cup matches annually, the tour
ing pros are bound to have a big
international season. Some of
them hope to make as much
money out Of 1t as Bobby Locke
did last year. In addition to
Locke, the South African, Nor
man Won Nida Of Australia and
Roberto De Vincenzo of Argen-

in the Los Angeles Open. Dai
Rees, the Welshman, is coming
back and Henry Cotton, who has
gone to take his winter post at
Monte Carlo, will return in March
for the Augusta Masters Tourna-
ment and an exhibition tour.
Cotton likely will team up with
Locke, Byron Nelson or Babe

The District Recreation Christmas
basket ball tournament, which came

their respective divisions, involved
1000 boys on 116 teams.
More than 500 fans crowded into

ticular interest was the unlimited
unrestricted title game, won by Gal

More than Is schools have

including Greenacres, a school
which Jimmy was told goes only
to the third grade. Little Sandy
Wolf had his dad calling in
correct answers every morning
and when Gibbons was forced
to limit each individual to five
answers per contest, other adults
began calling in and giving
credit to Greenacres. But the
adults apparently don't rate

this business.
Leland Junior High School

ended with the playing of the

Lawrence Cockerille Of Wilson.
John .Ourand had 8 and John

Leland had 7 each. Jimmy had
correct answers from girls, too,
including Ruthie French and
Nancy Berquist OF woodrow
Wilson and 10 Ann Curran of

are a little late-as usual, Jimmy
says.
All this goes to show what

the gloves here tonight, but just for

Charles, rated by the National
Boxing Association as the logical
contender for the light-heavy crown,
will be at ringside, but Promoters
Sam and Benny Becker said 1t was
uncertain that he would be intro
duced.
It was the Becker brothers who
reported signing Lesnevich for a
championship fight here in June.
George Rein, one Of the Cincinnati
puncher's three managers, said his
fighter was in the process Of signing
when the Lesnevich-Fox bout was
announced. ..
Early last year Sam Becker re-
ported Lesnevich was ready to sign,
but said Charles stalled of" on
the fight pending the outcome of
his scrap with Heavyweight Elme,
Ray In the Garden. Ezzard was
decisfoned by Ray. the only fight
he has lost since leaving the Army

was George Washington's football
record in 1882" and Who
coached Georgetown before Jack
Hagerty?" and How many East

Redskins won?" It was like toss
ing sardines to hungry@om cats.
"They ate it up" said Jimmy,

I started asking tough ones and
discovered they had the answers

Dempsey, the Manassa Mauler,

takes on an experienced foe tonight
at Turner's Arena. The 1s-year-old

with Orlando Fernandez of Tampa

A co-feature eight-heater pits an

wall jackson, in q return bout
against Charley Bennett. There's .
revenge motive In this bout as it was
Bennett who handed Stonewall his
first pro defeat after stonewan had
run up a string OF 10 or more tri-
umphs.
Cooper, q light featherweight, has
all the speed usually associated with
the smaller boys, and particularly
is sharp with 9 left jab. He also
boasts a lot of punch for one so light
and won his last two bouts with
knockouts. He stopped Puggy King
In four rounds, something nobody
else had been able to do, and then
chilled Lucky Johnson in five on the
last show of the 1947 season. John
son gave Cooper a lot Of trouble in
the early going in that last bout,
but Cooper managed to survive the
first few rounds of mauling and
came back strong enough to floor
his opponent three times before the
end.
Stonewall probably will be IA
vorite to even things against Ben
nett tonight. Young Jackson has
been winning consistently since his
bout against Bennett last summer,
and several weeks ago turned in an
excellen victory by topping Willie
Cheatham in Baltimore.

what happens? Georgetown now

not certain. The Hoyas play Notre

their disastrous swing around the
country, then return to Washington
to play Maryland on Thursday night.
Loss No. 6 came in Chicago last

Loyola, a team they previously beat
in Washington. Loyola proflted
from its previous experience against
the Hilltoppers and this time was
particularly careful to keep an eye
