The Yankees nipped the

potential double-play grounder
in the eighth hoped over Felix
Mantilla's head for a single,
moving John Blanchard to
third, and Bill Skowron deliv-
cred the winning ruin with a

Lefty Jack Curtis went the
distance in the Cubs rout of
the Indians, pitching an eight
hitter. Ken Hubbs swatted two
homers for the Cubs while Lou
Brock poled a homer and a
single. Another southpaw, Billy
Hoeft of the Orioles, permitted
only two singles in his seven
innings against the AS.
Dodger righthander Stan
Williams held the Phils hitless
for six innings before yielding
a run in the seventh. The Phils
managed three unearned runs
against Larry Sherry in the
eighth-but it was too little,
too late.
The Angels beat the Red Sox
on the pitching of George
Witt. Dean Chance and Jack
Spring-who gave up a total of
five singles-and some breaks.
They cashed in one unearned
run, got two more runs on a
long fly that fell in for a triple,
and added their fourth on
three walks and a wild pitch.

NEW ORLEANS, Mar. %
(AP).-Gen. Robert r. Neyland,
who built the University of
Tennessee's mighty football
empire and trained some of
the Nations top coaches, died
here today after a long illness.
He, was 70.
. Neyland, who had been hos
pitalized at Ochsner Foundation
Hospital here since January IA,
succumbed to the liver and
kidney ailment that had forced
his retirement from active
coaching after the 1852 season.
Since then. he had continued
in his lifetime post as athletic
director at Tennessee.
Neyland gained Nation wide
prominence as a master builder
of football teams at Tennessee.
An Army engineer, he took
over the coaching job there in
1926 and in 81 seasons SPAN
ming the next 81 years-Army
assignments caused interrupt
tions-his teams won I'll
games, lost 81 and tied IL. 1t
was q record no other coach
was able to match.
Developed Top Coaches
When he stepped down as
coach, he could look back on
a career that included develop
ment Of some of the games
topflight coaches, a number of
All-America players and the
1851 national collegiate cham
pionship.
A non-conformist, he never
yielded to the razzle-dazzle,
wide-open style of play that
swept football in the 1940s.
While other coaches were
swinging to the T-formation,
he clung to his solid single
wing attack. He amassed vic
tories on a mass production
basis through alert defense and
crushing power generated by
devasting downfield blocking.
Neyland once summed up his
basic football philosophy in
these words:
Hard tackling, hard block
ing: make as few mistakes as
possible; magnify your oppo-
nentS' mistakes and turn them
into scores"
Neyland was satisfied with
nothing short of perfection. He
rehearSed each play at least 500
times before using it in a game.
For nine years after becom-
ing head coach at Tennessee,
Neyland combined the careers
of coaching and Army engineer
ing work on the Tennessee
River. Then in February, 1886,
after a years engineering as
signments in the Panama Canal
Zone, he retired from the Army
to devote his entire energies to
football.
Built Super Team
During his absence in 1885.
Tennessee had lost all its major
games. Neyland began rebuild
ing and in 1888 came up with
a. brilliant sophomore studded
team that went through three
seasons undefeated and united
and played in the Orange, Rose
and Sugar Bowls. He was the
first coach to take a team to
the three major post-season
bowls in succession.
The War Department recalled
him to active duty in May 1941,
and he spent the next five years
in service. rising to the rank of
brigadier general during World
War II.
He won the Distinguished
Service Medal for his work as
commandant of the Port of
Calcutta, a job that involved
the handling of huge quantities
of supplies for the China-Bur-
ma-India theater of operations.
After his discharge in 1916,
Neyland returned to Tennessee.
He. soon found the football,
and its rules, had changed a
great deal during his absence.
Tennessee fell on bleak years.
The Volunteer teams of 1947
and 1948 won 9 games, lost 9
and tied 2. These were the
worst years of Neyland's career.
Reluctantly. he decided it was
time to try the platoon system.
