The proposal was broached
by a basketball coach, of all
persons! 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.

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.

Cooperating with the plan,
Grounds and Buildings have sup
plied a limited amount of labor
and some pipe to be used in flood

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 .
