By the Associofed Press

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. IL
Dick Savitt and Art Larsen have
withdrawn from the 10th Ma
tional tennis doubles champion
ships which begin here next week.
Savitt was described in a tele-

date.
Gardnar Mulloy and Bill Tai
bert, who had been champions
four times, were seeded first among
domestic men players.

man, playing with Jack Brom-
wich, won the doubles title last
summer.
Doris Hart and Shirley Fry.
winners of both the Wimbledon
and French championships this
year, are seeded first in the wom-
ems competition. They probably
will receive stern competition from
Nancy Chaffee and Pat Todd.

first after the perennial cham
pions, Louise Brough and Mar
garet Osborne DUPONT withdrew
because of an injury to Miss
Brough's right arm.
The Brough-duPont team had
held the title nine successive years
and last year the Misses Hart and

Cain, WeIker Likely
To Back Others Bills
For Boxing Inquiry

Senator Cain, Republican. Of
Washington. said yesterday that
he and Senator Welker, Republic
can, of Idaho. may support two
other measures calling for Con-
gressional investigations of boxing
rather than introduce a third
measure Of their own.
Earlier last week the two Sen
ators announced they were pre-
pairing resolution asking for an
investigation of the monopoly as
.pect of boxing and mentioned the
International Boxing Club. Before
their measure was ready, Senator
Magnuson, Democrat, Of Wash
Iington, filed a proposal calling
for an investigation of both
monopolies and narcotics in box
ing.
Earlier, Representative Clem-
ente, Democrat, of New York, had
asked in the House for an in
vestigation of possible connec-
ton between narcotics and box
ing.
We don't care who makes the
investigation, just SO one is made, "
Senator Cain said yesterday. An
investigation is certain to hit pay
dirt. 1t appears that the Inter-
national Boxing Club is a closed
society that has what amounts to
monopoly of some 80 per cent of
the boxers in the country.
Senator Welker and I will
study both of these (the other
proposals. over the week end and
we may decide to support them."

Frank Burns Named
Johns Hopkins Coach
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Aug. 11.-FranE
Burns. former Rutgers star, wa,
named head football coach al
Johns Hopkins University today
and said he is happy for the
chance to coach where football
is played as a game and not as a
business.
Johns Hopkins has an unusual
approach to intercollegiate ath-
letlcs. Students are admitted
strictly on their academic ability
and if they also happen to be
varsity-calibre athletes, that is
fine. If not, they can have their
fun in the university's intensive
intermural sports program. Every.
one is required to participate.
Burns quarterbacked at Rutgers
for four years and H. last two
years has been freshman coach
there. He played in the annual
East-West All-Stars game at Sar
Francisco in 1949 and the same
year was quarterback of the East
ern All-Stars in their game against
the New York Giants.
At Hopkins, Burns succeed.

Browns here Friday night in the
annual game between recently
graduated collegiate football stars
and the professional champions.
The game will be under the
floodlights of Chicago's Soldier
Field before more than $4,000
fans. The Browns, who have lost
only six games in five title-win-
ming seasons, doubtless will be es-
tablished as solid favorites in the
All-Star battle.
In the past the pros have won
nine, lost six and tied two. How
ever, the Collegians have won
three of the last five, the ALI Stars
a year ago defeating the Phila-
delphia Eagles. l7-7.
Rote Is Powerhouse.
This time the All-Stars' hopes
center around Rote. the dashing
Southern Methodist halfback
who weighs a solid 200 pounds
and White, the wraith-like runner
from Arizona State, who never
weighed as much as 160. White
led the Nation in rushing last fall
gaining 1902 yards in 10 games.
