It’s Now Official ~ Jim Tatum's Our Football Coach, May Bring Chapel Hillian to Assist Him For the next five years—God and the alumni will-' jng—Jim Tatum will coach the University’s football team.

They have three children, Reeky who is in the fifth grade, Jimmy who is in the third grade, and another daughter, Reid, who is three years old. Mr. Tatum also is an alumnus of the University, class of 1935, its football coach in 1942 and director of freshman athletics. He is regarded as one of the nation’s] best defensive coaches, possessing much energy and great organizational ability. It is believed that Mr. Tatum may bring Emmett ( heek of Chapel Hill with him as an assistant coach, and that Marvin Ra.ss and Steve Beiichick, two present assist ant coaches, may be retained. Another factor influencing his decision to leave Maryland was his holding down two jobs. “Every time 1 catch up on nfy coaching job, 1 find myself buried in athletic director work,” he said* “I’ll now have some time to play golf, fish and go hunting. It’s like an old br’er rabbit going back, to the briar patch."
