Trojan Varsity Opens Home Season Against Minnesota '11' at Coliseum
Sales of A-Books Below Par
Other Tickets Moving Rapidly Morley Reports
Some 70,000 fans will <:rowd into the Coliseum for SC's home football opener tomorrow, but not many of them will be Trojan tudents unless there is a last minute dash for activity books, Ticket Manager John Morley indicated yesterday.
Morley reported that although public, alumni, and faculty season tickets have been selling fast, activity book sales are still low.
Sales of the student books were estimated yesterday at 3000, a total far below the number sold t the same time last year.
Look For Swamp
The activity book sales office t 3460 University Avenue will robably be swamped today and omorrow morning with a last inute rush of students wanting ctivity books in time for the Minnesota game, Morley predict-d.
Ticket windows will be open to-ay from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and rom 5 to 7 p.m. On Saturday ooks may be purchased until oon.
Morley warned, however, that students who want to use their activity books to see the Minnesota game had better play it safe and make the purchase today. He made no promise that Saturday buyers would be able to get into the home season opener. More Than Football Football games are not the only benefits received from activity books, Morley reminded the students. The $13 book also includes admission to all Trojan home basketball games, regular Drama Department productions and a copy of El R.odeo, SCs yearbook.
Teams of book salesmen set up shop at the University Civic Center Division yesterday, but no tabulation of their sales has been made.
Last year 5600 activity books were sold before Washington

the intersectional game is expected to attract upward of 70,000 football fans. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. A preliminary game between the SC Spartans and the San Diego Marines will get under way at 11 a.m.
The Trojans, who hold an all-time 9-7-1 record against Big Ten representatives, will enter the game, the first meeting between the two schools, as seven-point favorites. But, Gopher mentor Wes Fesler, with a star-studded roster headed by 27 returning lettermen, is expected to give Coach Jess Hill’s warriors a bitter battle for first-blood honors between PCC and Big Ten teams.
Minnesota supporters contend the Gophers hold a definite experience edge over the Trojans—being able to field a returning letterman at etch of the first team berths. The Gopher roster also features 10 lettermen on the second unit and six 1952 numeral winners on the third squad.
First Game Fesler’s footballers, however, will be playing their first game of the season—a fact that greatly adds to the* Trojan side of the favorite’s ledger. Hill, and his staff of assistant brain trusts, have been able to remedy many Trojan ills as a result of reviewing last week’s SC-WSC game.
The Cougar skirmish also gives the Trojans a decided edge in the use of the new substitution system. While admittedly not mastering the new rule, the Trojan coaching staff nevertheless has some knowledge of the substitution limitations of the NCAA regulation, which sets a maximum number on the amount of times a player may be taken out and returned into a gaim.
New Ruling
Fesler, on the other hand, will be struggling with the new ruling for the first time this year—a fact which brings broad smiles to Hill and staff. The substitution

ruling, it may be noted, did much to bring about the downfall of the out-manned Stanford and California teams last weekend.
Many of Fesler s woes about substitutions and early-season experiences will be offset by the individual brilliance of Paul Giel, the sensational tailback who was picked as a consensus All-American last year and appears headed for like honors in 1953.
Giel Is Key
Giel is the key to the entire Gopher offense. His optional pass-run played a vital role in Minnesota's successful record in the powerful Big Ten loop last year. A triple-threat performer. Giel is hailed as a star of the “old-school” type of play.
His record last year ranks as one of the moat outstanding in modern Big Ten history. He carried the ball 158 times for a net gain of 663 yards, completed 42 out of 100 passes for 645 yards, and punted 56 times for a 37-5 average.
