Weather— Windy with Snow Flurries VOL. 54, No. 77 Mat men Pin Maryland/ 22-6, Extend Winning St reak to 33 By SAM PROCOPIO With more than 1800 spectators looking on, Penn State’s fabulous wrestling • team pinned Maryland at College Park last night, 22-6, to successfully hurdle its~fourth ob stacle this season and its 33rd opponent in succession. The win, which rewrote the Penn State record books once again, was more impressive than the score indicates. Bill Krebs and Joe Humphreys did exceptionally well in handling the two highly regarded Fischer brothers, Bob apd Ernie, despite losing. The only falls gained by Coach Charlie Speidel’s wrestlers were gained by sophomores Joe Krufka and Bill Oberly in the heavier weights. Krufka, wrestling his ini tial match for the Lions, pinned 177-pounder Bob Drake in 5:47 with a three-quarter nelson; while heavyweight Oberly had his Maryland foe, Carl Everly, flush with the mat in 7:08 with a half; nelson and grape vine hold. Hal Byers started the Lions off to a 3-0 lead as he captured his second victory of the season, de eisioning Frank Alfaro, 8-3. Trail ing 3-1 late iri the first period, Byers gained a take down.

HANOI, Indochina, Feb. 10 (A*) —-Advance rebel guards pressed within six miles and sight of Lu ang Prabang’s golden-roofed pal ace and pagoda tonight, but the defenders expressed confidence they could throw back any Com munist-led Vietminh assault on Laos’ royal capital. Reports received here indicated the advance . rebel units 'were mostly regional troops, recruited to pave the way for Vietminh’s crack Division 308 still about 30 miles to the northeast. The divis ion, which covered 120 miles in four days, was believed'resting and gathering fresh rice supplies. About 1100 of the rebel regional troops had made some contact with Luang Prabang’s defenders about ten miles from the city limits, the French said. Qualified observers here believe that the Vietminh, if it really plans an all-out assault on Luang Prabang instead of pulling away from its approaches as it did last May, likely will not be able to attack for another week. The rebel advance units slashed their way through jungle and banana and coconut groves and drove within sight of the royal capital during the last 24 hours. But these units were described as too small to launch any frontal attack. French and Laotian troops were reported strongly entrenched with artillery on hills overlooking the entrances to Luang Prabang. ttty?

In the 130-pound battle Bob Homan remained unbeaten this season when he easily defeated Rony Carroll, 7-1. Although there wasn’t any action in the first period, Homan escaped from Car roll’s hold and then took him down. The Maryland grappler escaped in the third period for his only point but he was taken down. Homan received two points for riding time. Speidel’s 130-pounder, Larry Fornicola, who has moved up’ one weight class for the third time this season, got back into the winning column. ’He decisioned Dan Little, 7-2. Little found the Bellefonte matman a little hard to handle. Little’s only two points came in the final .period when he took down Fornicola; however, the Maryland 137-pounder had control for a short time as Forni cola reversed him.

The report, which was tabled at the last cabinet meeting to allow more time for study, wil: be submitted by William Shifflett, co-chairman of the Freshman Customs Board. Shifflett was ap pointed at the last cabinet meeting to replace Thomas Farrell, who was graduated. Lack of Funds Delays Return Of 'lineman' Lack of shipping funds and dif ficulty in securing trucking fa cilities are the reasons for the failure of the removal of “The Lineman,” Harry Archinal, presi dent of Pi Gamma Alpha, fine arts honorary society, said yester day. The decision to return the sta tue was brought about by a lack of interest in its possibility as last year’s senior gift. Permission was granted ly its sculptor, Wil liam Zorach, to keep it on. display indefinitely in Old Main. Pi Gamma Alpha paid shipping charges to have the statue brought on campus and will de cide at a future meeting the ex act date of its return. “The Lineman,” a large figure of a kneeling football figure, was originally done as a part of a sports series. Because of its high quality the statue was exhibited at the 1932 Olympic Games ■in Los Angeles, and at the. Newark Museum. It is priced at $5OOO. STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSbAY MORNING.

Nevertheless, .in the third period State’s EIWA champion permitted Hartnett to escape five times, only to take him down each time. The final score read, 16-5. At this point Penn State, took a commanding 12-0 team lead. How ever, the Fischer brothers were not to be denied. Krebs, wrest ling in his own class for the first time lost a hard-fought 4-1 battle in the 157-pound division. Fischer had two minutes riding time and a reversal, while Krebs scored an escape m the third period. Joe Humphreys, who like Kruf ka wrestled his first match for the Lions, was edged out 3-1 by one of the finest matmen in the 167-pound class, Ernie Fischer. There ' was no action in the first period.

A. Mark of the Campus Patrol yesterday called for a change in parking regulations to make them apply to faculty and staff members and graduate students, and 200 cars were tagged and $l9 in fines was collected on the first day of operation of a new fine-collection system. Mark called the present system of enforcement of parking regula tions “unfair to students” because students are fined and other vio lators are not. . James Dunlap, Traffic Court chairman, commenting on Mark’s statement last night, agreed “There is a great inequality in the present system. It is unfair to slap a fine on students and not on oth er violators,” he said. Dunlap pointed out that changes would have to. come from the ad ministration, since faculty and staff members and graduate stu dents are not under the jurisdic tion of student government groups. Traffic committee recommenda tions are on the agenda for to night’s meeting of All-College Cabinet. Graduate students who violate the regulations are generally warned by the Dean of Men’s of fice or the dean of the College in which they are doing graduate work. Deans of colleges are told when faculty and staff members in their school violate regulations. En forcement or disciplinary meas ures are solely in their hands, Mark said. He said he thought this leads to unfair and unequal punishment for the same violations. “A facul ty man’s car takes just as much room as a student’s car,” he com mented. If the administration is inter ested in easing campus parking problems, it should “clean its own house first,” Mark commented. Eight students were fined a to tal of $l9 yesterday at the Patrol office.

Mc- Coy, Dean of the College of Phys ical Education and Athletics, said yesterday. . Rumors that a hockey team would be formed had been circu lating on campus after plans were announced to build an ice skating rink soon. * 1 Cost of supporting an ice hockey team was listed as the chief rea son for there being no team 1 planned. Few universities and : colleges outside of the New Eng land area maintain intercollegiate ; teams in the sport. Construction of the rink will get underway as soon as plans are completed and the weather permits, McCoy said. Admission charge for students will probably be set at 25 cents, McCoy said. The charge will cover one ,session of skating, he said, and not one day. Several skating sessions a day are planned. . On weekdays, an afternoon ses sion, from 3 to 6 p.m. and an eve ning session, from 7 to 10 p.m. is being planned. The rink will probably be open all day on Satur days, and from 1 p.m. on Sundays. Men’s physical education classes in ice skating are also being plan ned, McCoy said. Skating will be to music. Light ing facilities will be installed for night skating. The rink will be built by mid- November, McCoy said. Until plans are completed, no estimate of the cost can be made, he said. Skating will be halted period ically to allow workmen to re surface .the ice. This will be done by sprinkling hot water on the surface, which will melt the sur face of the ice, and fill cuts and scrapes in the surface. This pro cess will assure ’an even surface at all times, McCoy said. The University will build the 32-by-65-feet building on the west side of the rink and will do pre paratory work. A refrigeration firm will install equipment for the rink. The rink will be built in the tennis court area east of Nittany dormitory 44. It will accommodate 800 skaters at one time.

Previously, McComb had said the periodical stacks might have to be closed to students due to heavy losses of unbound maga zines.
