Tom Brown Jr., the San Fran
cisco player who waited until
December to produce his best
1957 tennis, has been boosted
from 14th to seventh in the
national men's singles rank
ings.
The U.S. Lawn Tennis asso

Brown, 35, went up seven
notches into the select 10 be
cause he won the National
Hardcourt and Sugar Bowl
tournaments last month.
Tentative rankings for 1957
were announced in November.
The association's delegates ac
cepted the ranking commit

changes without objection.
Bill Quillan of Seattle,
Wash., was moved from 11th
to 10th. Noel Brown of Santa
Monica, Calif., advanced from
15th to 14th and Myron
Franks of Los Angeles from
16th to 15th.

"This feat was accomplish
