With" each football opponent,
Coach Rip Engle has ironed out
the Nittany Lions’ errors—pass

today for their final home game
against' the Rams
Engle’s chief objective will be to
find a cure for Penn State’s touch
of fumbilitis.
Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. An
attendance of- 20,000 is expected..
Although Penn State has played*
exceptionally well in its last three
outings, it has been apparent that
the Nittany Lions’ fumbles have
almost ruined them.
With Fordham—not considered
as pushovers—possessing a fine
sunning and passing combination
and a strong line, Engle’s gridders
must hold onto the ball in order
to make the experts correct. Penn
State is only a six point favorite.
“I don’t see how they can rate
us the favorite,” Penn State’s
mentor said. “They (Fordham)

Syracuse coach admits they were
lucky to win it. We were lucky
to beat Syracuse, so I don’t see
how they add it up.”
Undoubtedly, it is the potential
throwing of co-captain Tony Ra
dos, the pass-snatching of Jim
Garrity, and the open-field run

the Lions the slim edge. Neverthe
less, Fordham has a passing com

Final Say
Depends on
Court Action
Approval to change the name
of the College to The Pennsyl
vania State University was grant
ed yesterday by the State Coun
cil of Education.
The action, reported by the As
sociated Press, leaves only one
step before the College can begin
to use its new title. It must be
approved by Judge Ivan Walker
of the Centre County Court of
Common Pleas.
Walker told a-Daily Collegian
reporter last night that he will
act on the request as soon as the
petition is. returned to him from
Harrisburg. ' He said he expects
that will be Tuesday or Wednes
day.
The coun'cil in similar action
approved a petition from Villa
nova College for university sta
tus. Villanova now must also
await final word from the local
court in which its original charter
change was filed.
Formal presentation of the Col
lege’s petition was made Monday
a week ago by College attorney
Roy Wilkinson Jr., of Bellefonte.
The action was ordered with the
unanimous approval of the Board
of Trustees and preliminary pro
ceedings were begun Sept. 9.
After the petition for title
change was presented to Walker,
he, hearing no objections to the
new' name, presented it to the
council for approval. Now they
will have returned it to him
approved and his final action will
set the date on which the new
name will become effective.
If Walker sanctions the univer
sity status, the College will join
the ranks of many academic in
stitutions who have changed their
names to fit their changing sta
tus. Examples in the state in
clude the University of Pennsyl
vania, Temple University and the
University of Pittsburgh.
It also will mark the third time
the College has had its corporate
charter changed to fit the stand
ing of the institution. This was
done when the name was changed
from The Farmers’ High School of
Pennsylvania to The Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania in 1862
and subsequently when its pres
ent name was adopted in 1874.
The Board of Trustees in earlier
releases explained that they had
three basic reasons for request
