A Roundup Of The Sports Information Of The Week

SKIING—Austria's GERHARD NENNING won the Arlberg- Kandahar trophy, the unofficial world's championship this year, at St. Anton, Austria by taking a first in the slalom and a second in the downhill for the lead in the combined standings. The downhill winner was Nenning's countryman and four-time trophy-holder, KARL SCHRANZ, while Heim Messner, also of Austria, was third. The women's trophy went to MARIELLE GOITSCHEL of France for the second year in a row after she finished second in the ladies' downhill to ANNIE FAMOSE of France and second in the slalom to HEIDISCHMID-BIEBL of Germany. Mrs. Schmid-Biebl was runnerup in the combined standings, and Austria's Christl Haas third.

TENNIS—JOHN NEWCOMBE, a young Australian Davis Cup player, defeated Owen Davidson, also of Australia, in the final of the Tasmanian Tennis Championships in Hobart 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Australia's No. 1 and No. 2 singles players, Roy Emerson and Fred Stolle, were eliminated in early rounds but teamed to win the doubles 8-6, 9-7.

TRACK & FIELD—The eastern indoor track season opened in Boston with the Massachusetts Knights of Columbus Games but a blizzard held the attendance to a disappointing 6,794. It also prevented the appearance of Olympian Billy Mills in the mile, which was won by JOE LYNCH, a Georgetown senior, in 4:06, the fastest time of his career. RAY TUCKER, 17, of Hamilton, Ont., who is the Canadian junior champion at 1,000 yards, won that event in 2:12, and his countryman BILL CROTHERS equaled the meet record (1:10) in the 600. RALPH BOSTON won two events by a foot—the broad jump with a 24-foot 10-inch leap and the 45-yard high hurdles in 5.6 seconds. MEL PENDER of the Army held off his teammate Paul Drayton in the 50 with a time of 54.4, while PAMELA KILBORN of Australia broke the 50-yard-dash record she set a week earlier in San Francisco, with a 6.0 clocking.

Ron Clarke of Australia, who finished ninth in the Olympic 5,000-meter run, set a new world record at that distance in an interclub meet in Hobart, Tasmania. His time of 13:34.6 broke Vladimir Kuts's seven-year-old mark by .4 second.

MILEPOSTS—HIRED: TOMMY PROTHRO as head football coach at UCLA after compiling a 63-37-2 record in 10 seasons at Oregon State.

PURCHASED: For more than $7 million by the National Broadcasting Co., television rights to American Football League championship and All-Star games for the next five years. NBC earlier paid $36 million to televise the AFL's regular-season schedule.

RETIRED: After nine years with the New York Giants and five with the Los Angeles Rams, ANDY ROBUSTELLI, 38, an All-Pro defensive end on eight championship teams (two with the Rams, six with the Giants), to attend to his business interests.

TRADED: San Francisco's WILT CHAMBERLAIN, the highest-scoring, highest-paid player in the NBA, to the Philadelphia 76ers for three players and less than $50.000.

DIED: WALLY PIPP, 70, the American League home run champion in 1916 (with 12) and 1917 (with nine), after a long illness, in Grand Rapids. Pipp was the New York Yankees' regular first baseman for 10� years, played in three World Series and had a lifetime .281 average, but he is best remembered as the man Lou Gehrig replaced. He was unable to play on June 1, 1925, and Gehrig, a rookie, took over for the day. Pipp never played again for the Yankees, while Gehrig stayed at first base for the next 2,130 games. At the end of the season Pipp was traded to the Reds, and in 1929 he retired from baseball.
