(Tulsa-AP) -- Tulsa's putting two former football players and a former baseball coach into its Athletic Hall of Fame this week.

New inductees include Bob Brumble of Tulsa, N-A Keithley of Miami, Oklahoma, and Gene Shell of Tulsa.

Brumble was called Bustin' Bob when he played for the Golden Hurricane in the late 1950s. He set three school records for rushing and finished his career with more than 14-hundred rushing yards and 14 touchdowns.

Keithley was on Tulsa teams that went to the Sun Bowl and Sugar Bowl. He led the team in rushing in 1941 and 1942.

Shell coached Tulsa's baseball team to seven Missouri Valley Conference titles and seven District Five playoff appearances. He was conference coach of the year three times.
