Journal Sports Editor Spring will do more than bring showers and flowers to the University of Tennessee campus it will afford the younger collegians to bud into athletic giants to carry on a mammoth sports program And never before in nationally prominent athletic history has the accent been focused to a greater extent on the inexperienced and first-year athletes Success of 1953 teams in football baseball tennis track and golf will depend to a great degree on the performance of the younger corps Many of the luminaries of 1952 teams have departed in all branches of Tennessee athletics Tennis stars like Bill Davis Tommy Bartlett Gavin Gentry and John Cullum have left Missing from the track team will be the nationally-ranked miler Alf Holmberg plus the absences of two of the greater high jumpers Herbie Neff and Doug Atkins The baseball and football teams have taken great losses Neyland Wtill Get Back To His Way Of Coaching After a siege of illness Bob Neyland will get back to coaching in a couple of weeks and it will be a return to his type of coaching that labeled him one of the all-time greats Some time during the week of Feb 23 Neyland will start Out to construct a football team for the 1953 season He was a member of the rules committee that did away with two-platoon football a month ago Neyland is now in Florida but will return at an early date to get spring football practice plans in operation Thirteen members of the team that participate in the Cotton Bowl against Texas will be missing His first concern however will be to get things organized for a return to Ten of the are from graduation They are: Andy Kozar Ed Morgan John Davis John Michels and Frank Alexander of the offensive team Doug Atkins Joe Maiure Francis Holohan Andy Myers and Gene Moeller of the defensive outfit THREE WITHDRAWN Three others have withdrawn from Tennessee They are Tackles Darris McCord and Bob Ussery and Line Backer Bob Griesback MCCord was to enroll at Southern Methodist while the other two did not say if they would enroll at another school Several members of last freshman crop will be given the opportunity to play varsity ball next year They are: Bill Spoone of Morristown Ed Godzak of Webster Pa Dave Griffith of Oak Ridge Bob Williams of Raleigh Dick Disbrow of Mt Vernon Ted Schwanger of Sandusky Bob Kirkpatrick of Starkville Miss Bob Scott of Cleveland Tenn Ed Cipic of Jefferson Pa Tom Tracy of Birmingham Mich Jim Beutel of North Tonawanda Ray Chapman of LaFollette and Gus Harrell of Clarksville Freshmen will again be eligible next Fall and a big question if any of the first-year members get varsity billing Members of the varsity counted on to report for spring work are: Capt Mack Franklin Alternate Captain Hal Hubbard Bob Fry Ed Nickla Roger Rotroff Dan Sekanovich Bill Taylor Dan Butler Bob Fisher Ed Halliday Tom Hensley Gary Herrmann Charlie John-aon Dick Mayock Colin Munro Bib Zumstein Ralph Adams Joel Kenley Frank McCroskey John McWilliams Martin Paris John Powell Bernard Ballick Bob Cloninger Bill Barbish Lamar Leach-man Bob Brengle Pat Shires Hugh Garner Pat Oleksiak Jimmy Wade Ronald Gust Stan Lis Billy Jack Cunningham Jerry Hyde Ray Martin Bob Neyland and Ray Byrd 6Big Four9 To Be Missing From Vols 9 Tennis Squad Big of recent tennis fame is missing and Coach Buchanan faces a severe task this spring Tommy Bartlett John Cullum Gavin Gentry and Bill Davis have completed their play During their SEC days they put Tennessee tennis at the top for the first time in conference history Bartlett completed his varsity days without losing a match to a SEC foe Davis at one time was the top singles performer Six Knoxvillians will form the nucleus for the 1953 team They are Jimmy Robinson Lee Abraham Phil Farrow Tommy Davis Kyle Testferman and Lewis Neyland The latter two will not be able to participate in early workouts until the basketball season is completed Pat Hogan Cincinnati Charles Warden of Huntsville Ala and George Edis of New York City are the other members Most of the boys have been working out for the past few weeks at Cherokee Country Club A strong schedule is being mapped for the net squad which will Include conference opponents and call for participation in the SEC tournament Freshmen To Hold Fate Of Strong Links 9 Team A host of freshman stars headed by former National Junior Champion Mason Rudolph should make the UT golf team the strongest in the history Rudolph a Clarksville Tenn native has been among the top young stars for the past three years The bespectacled youngster is considered a great prospect for professional honors in future years Ed Brantley Chattanoogan who was medalist in the Smoky Mountain tournament last year and winner over Goosie in the state tourney is another freshman star Others are Pier Morgan of Chattanooga and Barry McKinnon Jimmy Walls Jr and Jerry Sayres of Knoxville Another Chattanoogan sophomore Carroll Armstrong heads the holdovers Armstrong reached the semi-finals of the state tournament last year Burton Spraker also of Chattanooga is another soph returning The only senior on the squad is Charles Pehle of Tullahoma Coach Jimmy Walls says that barring unforeseen happenings should be the strongest team ever Track Team May Continue Strong In Distance Races During the past few years most of success of the track team has been secured through the brilliance of its distance runners Some of the lustre will be lacking this season because of the departure of Holmberg the Swedish miler- Affable Alf did not return to the States to complete his final year of college work But Coach Johnny Sines expects to mould his 1953 track team along the strength of his distance stars who are now engaging in daily workouts at Shields-Watkins Stadium WON CROSS-COUNTRY TITLE He learned the strength of his distance runners during the crosscountry season when Frankie Albertson set just about every kind of record for Southern tracks They again won the SEC cross-country championship Albertson a diminutive youth who may now find his true ability because of the departure of Holmberg heads the distance contingent The Atlantan has been overshadowed for the last two seasons by the Swede A1 Kuykendall of Oak Ridge George Ogle Sam Hill Rob Reeder Dick Gamble and Dick Kidwell all of Knoxville and Charles Short of Bon Air give Coach Sines depth in the distance events They are capable of retaining proud position at the fop of the field when it comes to distance events Sines will be hurting in the other event The only other veterans returning are Jimmy Wade Hal Hubbard and Ed Nickla in the weight events Newcoriiers will form the balance wheel for the dashes hurdles high and broad jumps and the pole vault HAVE STAR HURDLER Leading this list will be Dave Critchlow a transfer student from Sewanee Critchlow once the champion high hurdler for the state will run the high and low hurdles and also participate in the high jump Last season Tennessee had Neff and Atkins for the high Jumps They shared points all season with Papa Hall the champion from Florida Neff has completed his eligibility while Atkins decided on CITY LEAGUE At East High School Thursday
