The Weyandmen were never headed after those two buckets, holding a 13-7 quarter count. In the second session the Eagles started out with a fielder by Rhea, hut that was all the scoring they did except for a pair of free conversions as the Red and Black rang up a 24-11 advantage by the intermission.

James M. Tatum has been appointed head football coach at the University of Oklahoma, succeeding Dewey Luster.

President George L. Cross announced the selection late Saturday and it was reported that he had been given a three year contract. Tatum, a 32 year old discharged naval lieutenant, coached the Jacksonville, naval air station during the past season. Prior to the war he was on the coaching staff at the University of North Carolina. Tatum succeeds Dewey Luster, who resigned at the close of the 1945 season because of failing health, after a five year tenure.

Luster remains in the Oklahoma intramural department. Dr. Cross said Tatum will re- I ceive $8,000 for the first year, $9,000 for the second and $10,000 for the third.

The final round will be played Sunday.

The other two men given a good chance to overtake the wiry little Ohio shotmaker are Jim Ferrier, the former Australian open champion now hailing from Chicago, and Mark Fry, professional Oakland, Calif. The finest round of the day was turned in by the hot-and- cold Ferrier, who fashioned a 32-35 for a 67 to vault out of nowhere into a contending position. Ferrier trailed Penna by 10 strokes Saturday when play started, but picked up six to trail by only four counts Saturday night. Penna started out apparently headed for oblivion when he went three over par on the first five holes.

But he recovered nicely to go on over one each nine and retain his leadership. THE LEADING amateur continued to be Charles Stolhand, Ponca City, who faded to The beginners, some 20 strong, accomplished the following: Fritz Ware, former Omaha Benson dazzler, hustled to victory in the 60-yard dash in the respectable time of 6.6 seconds. He edged another freshman. Bill Moorehouse, Naval R.O.T.C. student from Chicago, by a step.

Moorehouse, running for the first time in organized track competition, turned in another good performance in the quarter mile run. He ran a close second to Dean Kratz, who displayed his usual smooth form in posting a winning time of 53,1. Moorehouse finished in 54 seconds flat. Don Yocum, North Platte distance ace, ran a 4:41.5 mile, best time he has recorded this year. He finished well ahead of Don former state class mile champion from North Loup, after spotting Babcock a 20 yard handicap.

It was the first time this year that the former state high school champion had vaulted for height. Rex Hoy, Lincoln freshman, showed real promise as he ran a close second to the versatile Kratz in the 60-yard low hurdles. Hoy posted a time of 7.6 seconds, tenth of a second slower than winning mark. Orville Glass of Beatrice hit 5 75 after great opening rounds feet 934 inches in the high jump, of 69-68 for a 212. He had a six-stroke margin over the next closest amateur, Ralph Hall, Oakland, Calif.

Still up within striking distance each with 212, were a trio of good professionals: Ed Oliver, Taunton, who had a 72; E. J. Harrison, Little Rock, 73, and Denny Shute, Akron, 71.
