Lion Nittany Lions One TD Favorite PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26 —One of the oldest and most colorful grid rivalries in the nation'will - erid - tonuiridw when Penn State meets Penn here at Frank'in Field. Kickoff time is 1:30 (EDST). Radio Station WMAJ will broadcast the game with Mickey Bergstein handling the play-by-play. This will be the 47th meeting between the two clubs in a series that dates back to 1890. The Quak ers hold a decided edge with 25 wins, 17 defeats and four ties. However, they haven't won since 1953 when Coach George Hung er's last team grabbed a 13-7 de cision From 1954 to 1956, the Lions romped to easy wins-35-13, 20-0 and 34-0. But last season the Quakers surprised a heavily-fa vored State team, extending them for three periods before losing 19-14. Coach Rip• Engle's gladiators are in the favorite's role once again this fall, but not by the margin of the past four years. Only a 7-point margin is given by the "bookies" for tomorrow. Part of the reason for the small spread is the veteran personnel of the Penn outfit: This is re puted to be Coach Steve Sebo's best squad since he took over the coaching reins in 1954. And no wonder, what with 21 lettermen returning, including six starters from last fall, ii But undoubted y the main cause of the low poin spread is Penn State's shoddy performance in losing the seaso 's opener to Ne braska last wee The Lions were favored by two touchdowns in that tilt, but we=e humiliated by the Huskies, 14-1.

Pattee Library to Preserve Records By LOLLI NEUBARTH The letters, diaries and rec ords found in attics and cel lars in Pennsylvania often tell the dramatic day-by-day story -of political, economic and social activity in years past. Many of these manuscripts, however, are never seen by his torians simply because state his torical societies haven't enough space to store' them. Recognizing a need for some depository for these manuscripts, the Pattee Library and the De partment of History have planned a joint program to acquire and preserve such records. Wallace F. Workmaster, in , structor in history, has been ap , pointed to the new post of curator of Pennsylvania histori , cal collections.

In a setting of race feeling and bitterness, Little Rock, Ark., votes on the red-hot issue of segregation versus integration. would allow desegregation, with out further interference, of all Little Rdck schools with their 20,308 students. A win by the segregation forces will be a mandate, he said, to' proceed with plans for opening the high schools as segregated, private institutions. The setting for the Virginia court test is in nearby Balti more. The U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals was called in to emergency session there to hear arguments—and probably rule on appeals for a year's delay in lower court orders for integration at Front Royal and in Norfolk, Va. The educational future of 11,000 pupils, 1000 at Front Royal and 10,000 at Norfolk, hinged directly on the decisions; that of many more thousands, indirectly. Already closed to evade race Mixing are the Warren County High School at Front Royal and .a high school and elementary school at Charlottesville, Va. School opening at Norfolk has w ice been postponed for the 'same purpose and if integration is forced, automatic closing is in prospect there under state law.

Sharp Larry Game Penn George "Larry" Sharp, hospitalized since he broke his neck in a physical education class almost a year ago, is ex !pected to attend today's Penn-Penn State game at Philadel- an early cooperative group at Old Economy in Ambridge. "Of the original 13 slates," said Workmaster, "Massachusetts, Vir ginia and Pennsylvania are of real major historical significance." While the other two have done a lot of work to preserve histori cal resources, he added, Pennsyl vania has lagged behind in con serving manuscripts, artifacts and buildings which might be ex tremely important in tracing the state's history. Of special interest to Work master will be documents from after the Civil War. Letters written at least 100 years ago are saved just because they are old, he said, while people con sider anything more recent as too new to be of historical in terest. As a result, he explained, re searchers have a rather sketchy knowledge of more recent events such as the development of effec tive labor unions and the rise and refinement of corporations in the - state. Documentary evidence can tell the real story of this phase of Pennsylvania history, Workmaster said. Faces Today Will Watch From Sidelines phia. Sharp will sit on the side lines in a wheel chair, according to Dr. Alfred H. Greiss, Ridenour Health Center physician. Greiss learned of Sharp's inten tion to attend the game when he talked to Sharp's mother on Thursday. The former student's condition is not known, Greiss said, but he is still in New York University Hospital. He has visited his Drex el Hill home several times over weekends recently. Sharp, a second semester freshman before he left school, was paralyzed from the neck down when he broke his neck on a trampoline in a physical education class on Oct. 11 last ,year, He was taken by ambulance from the campus to the Geisinger Memorial Hospital in Danville, where he remained in a "very guarded" condition. Six weeks lat er he was moved to the NYU Hospital. Sharp "came awfully close to the brink," Greiss said shortly af , ter the accident, adding that "those cases ,usually die instant ly." An extensive campaign was carried on among students to help defray the expenses of Sharp's hospitalization. Th e fund netted over $3OOO, which was given to his parents.
