Robinson Picked to Replace Neyland as Tennessee Coach KNOXVILLE, Tenn. 4D—Harvey Robinston was picked Monday to replace his boss Gen. Boy Neyland, as the University of Tennessee's head football coach for the 1953 season. Robinson's selection by the athletic board came as no surprise, as he had been hand-picked by Neyland, coach at Tennessee for 21 years, as his successor. Anaheim Girl Loses Semi-Final Net Tourney Tilt Mary Flynn of Anaheim reached the semi-final round of the Third Annual Mayfield Girls' Tennis Championships before losing to Nancy Dwyer of Marlborough 6-0, 6-3, in the tournament staged annually at the Mayfield School in Pasadena for girls enrolled in private girls' schools throughout Southern California. On Saturday, Miss Flynn drew a first round bye, then went on to defeat Sharon Buckingham of Mayfield School, 6-4, 6-0 and Sue Porter of Westridge School 6-2, 6-4. In the semi-final round on Sunday, Miss Flynn faced Miss Dwyer, who holds the unusual distinction of ranking third in Southern California girls singles as well as an additional honor not common for a youngster, of being ranked also in the women's division. Miss Dwyer justified her top seeding with an easy 6-1, 6-3 win over Ann Morrissey of Marlborough in the final round on Sunday afternoon. Next tournament for local netters will be the Ninth Annual Fullerton Invitational Tennis Championships starting Saturday and Sunday on the Fullerton High School court. The board also approved Neyland's request for a year's leave to try to regain his health. The 61-year-old retired brigadier general will leave Friday for Walter Reed hospital at Washington for treatment of a mysterious blood ailment. The 42-year-old Robinson, a Tennessee quarterback in 1930-32, said he had no "feeling of elation" over being selected to succeed Neyland. "I know that I am succeeding the greatest coach in the history of American football," he said. "It is a sobering experience and one I approach with a deep feeling of humility."

Gazette New Government Ending Law MEXICO CITY (AP)—Don't be sure that Mexico City would lose or be in a position to handle the 1936 Olympic games should Bourne lose the chance of host to the world athletes. Inauguration of the new Mexican government on Dec. 11 brought a vast change in the central attitude toward sports. The former lavish financing has erased and the government is using money and time saved in its efforts to lower the cost of bread. Rumors of New Host There have been numerous reports that Melbourne lost the 1956 games and that new host will be selected at meeting of the International Olympic committee here on Aug. 17. In all these reports Mexico City, Los Angeles and Rome have been listed in that order as possible sites. Mexico City was an original leader for the 1956 games but out to Melbourne. This city already has awarded the central American Caribbean games for 1954 and Pan-American games for 1955—a huge stadium has been completed. However, there now is doubt that Mexico will be host to eight of these. Changing Picture Not only is the new regime caring concern on the international sports front but it also is changing the sports picture inside Mexico. The Mexican Baseball league CALIFORNIAN TAMES ‘Big Game’ to Open National Indoor Tennis Crown BY WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK UP—Canny Art Larsen of San Leandro, Calif., tamed Kurt Nielsen’s “big game” on sparkling net exhibition Monday and whipped the handsome Dane, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, for the National Indoor Tennis Championship. The 150-pound Californian was never better as he scampered over the Seventh Regiment Armory boards by blocking Nelson’s mighty service and turning the champion’s attacking weapons to his own use. Larsen, 1950 United States Grass Courts champion and now third ranked nationally, was seeded 1 in the tournament but was an underdog this afternoon against the six-foot Scandinavian, and taken his measure twice this winter in European competition. Prevents Sweep In prevailing, the 27-year-old Larsen prevented a sweep of the indoor singles titles by visitors from overseas. The women’s championship was won by Mrs. Thelma Long, sturdy Australian matron who rallied to turn back Mrs. Barbara Scofield Davidson of Boston, 5-7, 6-0, 9-7. Mrs. Long trailed 0-5 in the final set and twice she was two points from defeat. Larsen took command of the men’s situation shortly after yielding the first set to Nielsen, 7-5, on a service break in the deuced 12th game. Dashing to the net and scoring placements with volleys and half-volleys, Larsen won the second set by cracking Nielsen’s service in the ninth game and then holding his own. Broke Delivery The bandy - legged California didn’t drop his service after the opening set. He broke Nielsen’s delivery in the seventh and ninth games of the third set and in the sixth game of the fourth. GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE DRAWS UP SCHEDULE FOR ‘53 Representatives from Orange county’s two most widely traveled softball teams, the World Champion Orange Lionettes and the Buena Park Lynx recently met with other members of the Pacific Coast women’s softball league to draw up a schedule for the 1953 season. Present at the meeting were such softball illuminaries as Fresno’s All America shortstop Kay Rich; Buena Park’s own All American, third baseman Lu Mahoney; Dot Wilkinson, ‘All American catcher, and Virginia Dobson of Phoenix. Members of the San Fernando Valley team were at the meeting to apply for admittance to the league. Changing Picture Not only is the new regime causing concern on the international sports front but it also is changing the sports picture inside Mexico. The Mexican Baseball League which only a few years ago lured U.S. major leaguers accrue the border with fantastic salaries is limping along. Its box office woes are mounting and now must also pay at least half of its 15 per cent business tax when the former regime always waits out to Melbourne. Kwikset Defeats Grace Lutheran Kwikset Locks defeated Grace Lutheran church basketball team 47-37 last night at the H School gym in a practice game Don Hall, “Robbie” Robins Elmer Potts and Reed Dixon hit 10 or 11 points for the Kwikset five. Referee Jim Wright stepped up for the game when some of the churchmen failed to show Wright garnered 17 points in game honors. The Lutheran five led up to the last quarter, but at that time the Industrial league boys jumped out-ran and out-scored the Lithuanian men to the tune of 17 to 3 to go away.

Dashing to the net and scoring placements with volleys and half-volleys, Larsen won the second set by cracking Nielsen's service in the ninth game and then holding his own. Broke Delivery The bandy - legged Californian didn't drop his service after the opening set. He broke Nielsen's delivery in the seventh and ninth games of the third set and in the sixth game of the fourth. The 22-year-old Nielsen, son of a Copenhagen business-man, became a strong gallery favorite for the title after his impressive seminal victory over Billy Talbert Sunday. He was expected to blow the little southpaw off the court with his powerful service and tremendous net attack, both doubly effective on the hardwood surface. But Art., once known as the "problem child" of tennis because of his on-court and off-court antics, never allowed the Dane to gain the offensive. Larsen blocked Nielsen's service brilliantly, and beat his foe to the net where his heady and steady stroking paid dividends. Confidence Wanes Nielsen's stout confidence, obvious at the start, soon began to wane and the man from Copenhagen constantly chided himself for missing easy shots. He became unnerved by Larsen's faculty for getting his racquet on almost every shot and turning a defensive stroke into a placement. Larsen lost his service only once. That was in the last game of the first set. The men's doubles title went to Larsen and Nielson, who defeated Noel Brown, Santa Monica, Calif., and Grant Golden, Wilmette, Ill. 3-6, 12-14, 6-3, 6-3. Sea birds flying inland in great numbers can give warning of an approaching storm. Some party!

In their last game 6'6" Stricklin outpointed Cook 21-7. The Colonists are looking forward to their coming game with the Oilers as they are out to regain some of the prestige lost in the last lopsided encounter.
