The patio of Oakmont Country Club's picturesque resort will be the scene of the coronation of a new Pennsylvania state amateur golf champion tomorrow evening. Lloyd Beyer, the youthful Penn State student and the 1931 title-holder, failed to qualify in the 36-hole qualifying round yesterday. The Philadelphian, who is an entry from the Aronimik Country Club, failed by a dozen shots of making-the select flight with ruinous rounds of 90-SS ITS. Will Gunn, the southern lad, an entry from the Spring Haven Club, near Philadelphia, romped off with the medalist honors with brilliant rounds of 75-74 149, establishing himself one of the prime favorites in the match play competition which gets under way today with the disposal of the first and second rounds. Trailing the pace-setter by three shots, was Fred Weppner, the Stanton Heights siege gun, who posted rounds of 79-73 152.

Weppner's 73, incidentally was the low round of the day and was made possible through a birdie three on the last hole, where he sank a 175-yard approach from in back of a bunker. Two Tied for Third. Weppner's tee shot going to the home hole hooked into a ditch. He had to play a safe shot out, and followed up with a perfect iron shot that landed inches from the pin and continued into the cup on the first bounce. Maurice Lebosquet, Highland, and Ray Eabcock, Oakmont, both former West Tenn amateur champs, were stymied for third place with 154's.

Lebosquet started out with a 78, but did better in the afternoon with a 76. Babcock played consistently good golf to bag a pair of 77's. The other qualifiers in the championship flight were Fred Brand, Shannopin, 76-79 155; Chris Brinke, Philadelphia, 78-77155; George H. Flinn, Fox Chapel, Sl-74 155; Denny St. Clair, West Penn amateur champion of Indiana, S3-74 157; J.

Dr. Stanger, Critchlow and Wilson Marks, eastern inter-scholastic champion, of Kiski, played oft for two places. The extra match went to the second hole where Marks was eliminated with a six, two over par, while his opponents both got down in fives. The only sub par golf shot during the day was a 36 on the first nice, one under, by Gunn on his morning round, while Flinn clipped a shot off the back in the afternoon with a 34. Dickey's Story.

Aside from the defending champion to fail in making the grade, another disappointment was the failure of George McClure, former Northwestern Pennsylvania champion, to get into the charmed circle.
