 Tn sudden reversal of form, CoSn~ missioner Coskey announced after c conference with podoloff that team wrestling would be permitted = but without supervision of the state Athletic Department, and without state referees.
 This prohibition didn't disturb podoloEf in the least, end he aIl- nounced Q short time later the first team wrestling performance would be held at the Arena next Thursday night.
 The preliminary wrestling bouts between two contestants will be supervised by the state commission, but the team wrestling to follow wAll " uAtugE u0 C0ntrUi.
 Unexplained
 Coskeys sudden reversal was, Ulns explained. For weeks, he has been adamant against permitting team wrestling. The wrestling rules of the state were changed to say that only two contestants could be in the ring ct the same time. His opposition poe sition remained the same until about c week arc.
 Then, it was reported, State Pc. lice Commissioner Edward J. Hickey was asked whether he would super. wise team wrestling exhibitions if they were held, Hickey reportedly it was outside hls providence, that supervision of theater performances were more within his 4ield.
 Late yesterday, Coskey, Deputy Maurice Landers and CommiSslon Secretary John Healey came here from Hartford, and, after c two. minute conference, granted Poao. loR permission to stage the battle royal" wrestling shows.

Army Aerials
 May Beat Navy

Philadelphia, Nov. 90 - (UP.) -- The Army.Navy football game, which won't be played until tomorrow, was fought cut on hundreds of street. corners today and the conclusion was that victory vii go to the team which controls the air.
 Although the Middies are firm tavorites ct odds lowering around 2.i, the sentiment in this city Of bFotherly love doeSnt back up the price. Philadelphians have seen too many service school games to fall prey to fancy figures, Their oplnlor iS that there's game to be played -and It's outcome dependS on the passing.
 If Little Hank Magur can hit his targets with the accuracy he has shown previously, the Army can't be counted out, For while the Navy has the edge In power, depth and weight and at least an even break in speed, the Middies are weak on aerial defense.
 Both coaches, swede Larson of the Navy and Earl Blaik of the Army, are aware of this flaw in the naRai arinor and they've mapped thElr plans accordingly.
 At Temple Stadium, q few miles rom the Navy camp, Larson stress. cd pass defense in his final light practice ct Merton Cricket Club early today and 1t was an open sec- ret that the l69-pound Magur was the key Co oil his strategy.

Mrs. Sib|ey Is Found
Guilty Of Murder
In Second Degree
May Receive Sentence
Ranging From 20 Years
To Life in Prison

After celebrating nearly seven
hours, District Court jury of one
woman and IL men last night found
Mary Elizabeth Sibley guilty Of Sec
ond degree murder in the Staying of
Oscar S. Rush, jr., September 16 as
he was seated in an automobile on
a parking lot on Good Hope road
Sc.
The defendant showed no marked
emotion at the verdict, in contrast
to the scenes she had made during
the trial. Defense Counsel Charles
E. Ford said today that he has not
decided on his future course
whether to ask for new trial, to
appeal, or make several other legal
moves.
The case went to the jury at 4:20
pm. yesterday and the verdict was
announced to Justice Jesse C. Ad-
kins about 11:05 pm. Prosecuting
the case was Assistant United
States Attorney John L. Laskey.
The defendant, who was on the
WlUllCSS SJdllu 4UI dUUuI IllllC llUuI D,
! contended the shooting was an ac-
cident, that she did not know the
gun was loaded and that she had
no intention of killing Mr.. Rush
She was merely demonstrating, at
Mr.. Rush's direction, she said, how
she had handled the gun earlier at
his landlady's house. Mrs. S. Bley
testified she had gone through a
marriage ceremony with Mr.. Rush,
an automobile salesman, before she
was legally separated from her first
husband. -..
Officials explained today the wom-
an, under a second-degree murder
conviction, will receive a sentence
that can extend from 20 years to
life imprisonment. If she receives
a 20-year sentence, she will be elig-
ible for parole after serving one
third of the time If life sentence
is given, she will be eligible for
parole after serving Is years. In
any event, she will receive a straight
sentence-either a definite number
of years or life imprisonment.
