Fans Demand Remafch
After Cooper Clever
Victory Over LIanos

The customers are hollering for
o rematch Of last nights Turner'S
Arena scrap In which Jimmy
Cooper Of Washington outpointed
favored Art Llanos Of Puerto
Rico in 10 blistering rounds. Their
young war gave the fight game q
big boost here and ct the end had
the 901 customers standing on
their chairs and filling the arena
with cheers.
Lanos Unexpectedly was fioored
for counts Of eight In the first and
third rounds and ut the end was
covered with blood from a cash
beside his left eye as he absorbed
his second defeat in rs pro battles.
A rematch would pack the
Arena but Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez might not be able to
make 1t. Llanos, ordinarily q
bantamweight, built himself up to
122 pounds last night while Coop
er, q genuine featherweight, dried
out and went without eating on
Sunday to get down to 1874. In
early talk Of o rematch Llanos'
manager was insisting that Cooper
make 1872 next time. Jimmy
probably couldn't do that and
anyway q fight loser usually
doesn't dictate terms.
Cooper's next fight might be
with Danny Petro. q bout that
could be billed as for the District
feather title.
At the start it looked as though
the classy Llanos would give
Cooper q good boxing lesson. But
late In the first round a sudden
left hook fioored the Puerto Rican.
Again in the third lightning struck
and O looping right again had
Llanos on deck. Odd part about
these early heats was that except
when he was surprisingly on the
floor Llanos was looking better
than Cooper. In the fourth. how
ever. Cooper took over and beat
Llanos all over the ring and
started the blood flowing in
earnest.
SO it went the rest Of the way
with Llanos generally showing well
in early part Of each round and
Cooper finishing stronger and
faster. Llanos' best round was
the eighth when he battered
Cooper onto the ropes with a
series of right crosses. Cooper
was rubber-legged and hanging
on, but Llanos lacked a finishing
punch.
In a five-rounder after the main
event, Johnny Holt. local middle
weight. decisioned Harvey Jones.
In another five, Roy Writ earned
O split duke over Billy Coefield,
while In four FOUNDERS Puggy
King decisioned Jackie OKeefe,
Scott Richardson topped Dick

BALTIMORE. Feb. 22.-Cath-
olic University's basket ball team
once this season stopped the bril-
liant Jim Lacy Of Loyola with only

as the Greyhounds topped the
Cardinals. $3.50. for their 10th
Mason-Dixon Conference victory.
Lacy still has two more out-of-

leader with 2.161.
The setback left the Cardinals
with an 81 conference record, but
they'll be favored to clinch place
in the tournament by defeating
Washington College tomorrow
night.
The Greyhounds never were in
serious trouble last night. They
piled up a 1923 falftine lead and
went on to win handily. Bob
Anderson came behind Lacy to
contribute 10 points to the victory
while Jim Losty and Gene Szklarz
