Death Plot Charged Officers said Penney planned to kill Mrs. Penney, then take his own life if she refused to come back home with him. Penney claimed the trouble started when Bridges, former Detroit pitcher who hurled for Portland last year, tried to pre ( vent him from talking to Mrs. Penney. After an argument, Mrs. Penney said: "Why don't you fight it out like men and I'll go home with you if you can whip Bridges." But Pennev said Bridges wouldn't go any place where they could fight. .

Television Fight Turns Into Real Thing Los Angeles, Jan. 14 (U.R) A fight viewed on a television screen became a real fight in the parlor and ended up today with the jailing of Donald Mulche, 19, on suspicion of as sault with a deadly weapon. In the hospital, the victim of a stab wound, was Donald Stout, 19. a high school student. Mulche told officers he was watching the fight performance of Rocky Slater last night at the home of Elizabeth Farris, Slat er's girl friend. Besides Miss Farris, and Mulche, several oth er youths were present. When Slater lost the decision, Mulche said, Miss Farris became so upset she requested Mulche to clear the others from the house. The action angered Stout and his friends, Mulche declared, and when Mulche left, he said the youths were wailing outside for him. "They began roughing me up, declared Mulche, "so I went over to my car and got something to fight with. When Stout went down, everybody else disap peared."

The NCAA also put the so called "sanity code" into virtual abeyance for a year by voting, 87 to 71, that no further penal izing action be taken pending a study of the regulations, Schmidt In Plea The seven Virginia, Virginia Military, Virginia Tech, Mary land, Villanova, Boston college and The Citadel beat expulsion by a vote of 111 to 93, a two thirds majority being needed to oust them. Those favoring expul sion thus fell 25 votes short de spite a plea by Pacific Coast Conference Commissioner Victoi Schmidt that "we wear the red badge of courage instead of the white feather of despair." Yet despite the failure to ex pel, Dr. Karl E. Leib of Iowa the NCAA president, said tha "the decision will not material weaken our principles." Leib insisted that leniency was indicated because all seven had admitted that they were violot ing the "sanity code" limilini aid to athletes and most of then were attempting to comply. Vil ianova, Boston college and Mary land announced that they had fulfilled requirements and the others defended their stands. May Revise Code The general opinion among the delegates was that this "pardon" would not open the way for a new wave of college subsidiza tion but that the sunlly code would have to undergo some sort of revision because now it is too general to govern all situations. C. S. McAlister of The Citadel pointed out, in defense of his school and VMI and VIPA, all military institutions, that the cadets, because of drills and other regulations which prevent ed them from holding extra-curricular jobs, had to be assisted.
