MADISON, Wis., Sept. Unlike the
past three Penn Stdte opens its 67th
intercollegiate football season without a
breather as it skirmishes the Badgers of
Wisconsin here at 1:30 p.m. (CST). The bat
tle is the first between the schools.
More than 47,000 spectators are expected
'to fill Camp Randall stadium to observe
the two teams play their opening 1953
games under the newly accepted one-pla
toon rule.
Coach Rip Engle's football 11 goes into
the game a seven point underdog. But in
some circles here there is.some belief that
Penn State's near all-veteran lineup and a
record passing combination in Co-captain
Tony Rados and Jesse Arnelle, will prob
ably make the game a "toss-up" before
came time.
In 1948 the well-rated Wisconsin team
finished in the Big Ten cellar (then Big
Nine) with only one victory as compared
with fivedefeats. The dismal record chased
Harry Stuhldreher out of the coaching job

Cabinet Extends Membership
In National Student Association
All-College Cabinet Thursday night passed a recommendation of the encampment's student lead
ership workshop that the College continue its membership in the National Student Association for an
other year.
The recommendation was passed by a-vote of 13-4 with four abstentions, after cabinet had re
jected a motion to table the recommendation for additional study. Robert Smoot, campus coordinator
for NSA, said postponing action would eliminate any chance to have the national subcommission on_
student leadership located at the
!College. Cabinet later passed the
workshop's recommendation - for
[the location of the subcommission
here.
Opposition to , the College's par
ticipation in - NSA was led by
Robert Homan, sophomore class
president, who suggested drop
ping out of the organization for
one year to test its effect on the
student governMent system.
David Jones, chairman of the
Board of Publications, said stu
dent government was not sup
porting NSA to its fullest extent.
"Why should an organization sit
back and wait for another organ
ization to - bring it the profits?"
Jones asked.
"If we have really tried NSA;
why don't we know what it is?"
he asked.

Smoot added that although
many schools in the eastern Uni
ted States have inferior student
government organizations, many
mid-western and western schools
have comparable or • further ad
vanced student governments, with
which an exchange of - ideas
would be helpful. Smoot said that
ideas could be exchanged- with
other schools by questionnaire,
regional convention workshop
discussions, and National Student
Congress discussions.
Cabinet also passed a recom
mendation that it review its poli
cies regarding the number of del
egates being, sent to regional and
national conventions Otnd the
manner in which expenses are to
be paid. Smoot had explained • at
the encampment that the one del

now cabinet's policy, could not
cover as many workshops and
gain as many ideas as could sev

shops.

Final Figure Estimated
To Exceed 1952 Total
With 11,364 students registered at the College as of noon Thurs
day, enrollment for the fall semester is expected to exceed the final
figure of 11,539 of a year . ago, C. 0. Williams, dean of admissions and
registrar, has announced.
The 1952 registration marked the third largest enrollment at the
College in its history. In 1951 the
fall semester enrollment reached
a total of 11,553, while the largest
enrollment took place in, 1949,
with 14,732 students registering
on campus alone.
• 140 Register Late
A total of 8335 men and 2889
women were enrolled on campus
prior to noon Sept. 19, Williams
said. In addition to the incomplete
campus total, 1172 students also
are enrolled at off-campus points.
Registered at centers are 1074
students, 650 of them freshmen,
480 men and 170. women. The
Mont Alto branch of the Penn
State Forestry School reported
an enrollment of 98.
Since noon on Sept. IQ, when
a :total of 11,224 students had en
rolled at the College, 140 students
registered. Compared wit h the
usual figure' of as many as 1000
students enrolling during late reg
istration in previous years, this
figure is exceedingly small, Wil
liams said. Student teachers and
teachers in service enrolling for
Saturday classes still must regis
ter.
2825 Frosh Enroll
Juniors and seniors numbering
a total of 4472 registered Sept, 16,
with 3190 and 2745 students regis
tering consecutively on the fol
lowing two days. The system of
registration used this fall caused
some trouble for the two
. upper
classes, Williams stated. However,
he added, the system, resulted in
a student directory now available
to faculty, offices, and campus
organizations, and also provided
the faculty with immediate sched
ules of registered students.
According to figures given Sept.'
19, freshmen enrollment reached
2825, of which 760 are women and
2065 are men, making a ratio of
2.71 men to 1.00 women in the
freshman class.
Transfers from the centers
totaled 150 women and 350 men,
Williams said.
he had held for 13 seasons and brought on
Ivy Williamson, former Michigan all-Amer
ican.
Willidmson; previously an assistant coach
at Yale and head coach at Lafayette, in
stalled his
_Own peculiar: version of the
split "T." In Williamson's version of the
"T" the fullback is the key performer.
He must be a triple-threat man who can
run, pass, and kick. This season, however,
Williamson has changed to the modified
T-formation.
Despite the change he still depends upon
his fullback to carry out most of the rush
ing burden. Alan Ameche, a selected all-
Ainerican, is Wisconsin's main hope.
Penn State's fullback position which has
been in doubt all season is described by
Engle as. "the worst I've faced in four
years."
"When Pete Shopa and .Matt Yaliosich
left for the service, we lost, the only ex
perienced men we had for the position,"
Engle said. "And I was counting on them
heavily for the 1953 season. Now, I must
look to sophomores for this manpower."
