Big Bill Chandler, of Marquette University, would baniSh the four-time fouler from a game only for a period of three or four minutes— during which time his substi tute could carry on, while he cools off in the penalty box. The present rule, Chandler con tends, discourages the better play ers who are naturally more "ag-: gressive" than the mediocre. Imagine fora moment—if you can—a gaine in which the penalty box theory were installed. •In the first place, there would have to be a 'strong-armed "cop" to sit between rival inmates of the "!box" to prevent 'disturbances' of the peace.

Hockey Team Members Clear, Flood Courts For Skating Rink With the announcement that ice hockey will definitely not be aban doned as a varsity sport, hockey coach Art Davis stated yesterday that members of the team are so anxious to get regular practice un der way that they have even gone to the extent of Clearing the ten nis courts and giving the rink its first flooding. New equipment has been pur chased for the team and Coach Davis said, "All team traveling will be done by train in an effort to cooperate as much as possible with defense authorities.;' Plans are being made by Ray Conger and Dean Schott so 'that the rink, in addition to being used as a varsity hockey rink, will he open to students for a small fee, probably five or ten cents. The fee will be used for purposes of up. keep. Cooperating with the plan, Grounds and Buildings have sup plied a limited amount of labor and some pipe to be used in flood ing the courts. There is a possibil ity that 'the rink will be available for use this weekend. - Mat Hopes High For Season's First Meet at Syracuse Starling Lineup Lists 4 Returning Lettermen What looks to be the first Lion mat win of the year looms just ahead for Penn State's wrestling team when it meets the Universi ty of Syracuse at Syracuse to morrow afternoon. Starting line-up for the match was announced last night by Coach Paul Campbell after final intra-squad bouts. In the 121 pound slot for Penn State will be Kryder Mattern with Charlie Ridenour holding down the 128 pound division. Sam Harry and Al Crabtree will wres tle at 136 and 145 respectively. Ed Lindzey fills the 155 pound position by virtue of his win last night over teammate Charlie Dip ner in a • fast and rugged two pe riod overtime bout. Fred Reeve wrestles at 165, Conrad at 175, with Bob Morgan in the heavyweight spot. Four men in the State line-up, Crabtree, Harry, Morgan and Ridenour are returning lettermen and should "come through" for Nittany wins. With the exception of Norm Wierdersum, Syracuse's prospects are rather dark. The remaining members of the team suffer from . lack of experience.. 'Widerilun, who wrestles in the 4 14 potimi bracket, is one of the best mat. men Syracuse has had in a l9ng time and stands a good chance ot winning a title. • In spite of the general inexpert* ence of the team, Syracuse sports authorities believe that the team should do no worse than last Woe Aerire4ni year's record of three victories, one tie, and five defeats. Delta Chi Beat Betas; Win IF Bowling Crown Winning by a margin of only 24 pins, •Delta Chi's bowling quin tet defeated Beta Theta Pi last night to win the first half of the Interfraternity bowling tourna ment and the trophy that goes to the champions. Art Christmas and Kenny White were high scorers for the Delta Chi's and the Beta's as well. Both men gained a total of 493 pins in three games. Kershner was high man for the Beta's with 490 pins. Line-ups, individual and team totals are as follows: Delta Chi See . Christman Moore ..„. L. White . K. White Totals . Kershner Chrispy . Sutherland Stiner ... Giles .... Totals . Richards will hold down the 165 pound position. In the first bout tomorrow night, Houck has little to think about in his choice of Jackie Grey to fill the 121 pound slot. Grey's in fine condition and should show ring side boxing fans a good fight.
