And' it's very true that there is plenty to be said about the impressive Wol- verine win. While the statistics are about even, the Maize and Blue capitalized on the breaks and came up with the big play when it was needed as it won by 26 points in a game that was rated about even by the odds-makers. Yet despite all the interesting items about which we could expound, this is one week that we are not able to overcome the temptation of devoting most of the column to the exploits of one Ron Kramer, end. I don't think I would be going out on a limb if I said that Kramer is the best football player that Michigan has had in my four year tenure at the University. Week in and week out he has caused sports- writers to trip over each other as they searched for adjectives that would adequately describe his play. Yesterday he outdid all his pre- vious efforts as he put forth one of the greatest individual perform- ances seen in Michigan Stadium in a long time. His performance, to quote a popular slang expression, might be considered "out of the question." Yesterday's Performance .. . To summarize, the Wolverine sophomore did as follows: carried for six yards on an end around to set up Michigan's first touchdown, made a sensational leaping catch for a 27-yard gain to Michigan State's seven as the Wolverines just missed scoring at the end of the first half, kicked off to start the third quarter and made the tackle himself and three plays later blocked a punt, recovered it and dove , into the end zone for six points. He then added the point, kicked off into the end zone and again made the tackle, this time on the Spartan 16. He wasn't directly involved in Michigan's next score which had Lou Baldacci taking a pass while wide open in the center of the field and cutting in behind beautiful blocking to go 63 yards for a touch- down. However when the Maize and Blue came out of the huddle .for this play with Kramer lined up wide, there were three Spartans lined up opposite him. A while later he got back in the act as he par- tially blocked another punt to pave the way for the fourth tally. He had nothing to do with the last six-pointer being on the bench at the time. In addition he punted four times for a 40-yard average, slightly under his excellent 41.3 mark going into the contest, came up with another of his pass reception-lateral plays for 11 yards and a first down, made more than his share of tackles, and constantly moved up and down the line talking it up and encouraging his teammates. No, he did not throw any passes yesterday but don't be surprised if he does down at Columbus. All-American? .. If Kramer fails to make All-American this year, there are going to be a number of surprised sportswriters locally, your reporter included. There are not many players in the country who think faster or react more quickly than the East Detroit star. How many times during the year do you see a player successfully lateral the ball for additional yardage just before he's tackled? Kramer has done this a number of times during the season. The way he picked off the pass in last week's game after it had gone through Ed Shannon's hands was a perfect example of his terrific reflexes. He excels at kicking off, punting, running, pass catching, con- verting, tackling, and apparently blocking punts also, having blocked three thus far during the season. With a player like this on your team, you know there is a good chance to upset anybody. Add to this the fact that Michigan seems to be building up to a peak for next week and you know that the contest with Ohio State will be one of the highlights of the football season. And can you blame some very optimistic students if they sniff the faint odor of a certain group of flowers? Another sensational K r a m e r catch of a forward pass almnost provided a second Wolverine touch- down in the closing seconds of the half as he snared a 27-yard aerial from Maddock to give Michigan a first down on the State seven. The clock ran out with the ball on the two yard line. Kramer wasted little time in scor- ing that second touchdown once the second half was underway. A few plays after his opening kickoff he broke through the Spartan line and for the third straight week blocked a punt. This time he timed the bounces of the ball perfectly, picked it out of the air on the six yard line and lumbered into the end zone for the score. Back in stride, his kick was good and Michigan led 13-0. When Michigan State threatened to bounce back in the fourth quar- ter, once more it was Kramer who helped to stem the tide. On the touchdown pass from Cline to Bal- dacci, he was the perfect decoy as three Spartans carefully followed him into the secondary, leaving his teammate all alone in the center of the field. Shannon Scores Four plays after his next kick- off, he broke through the line again and partially blocked another punt. Baldacci scooped up the ball just as it was about to be declared dead on the State 27 and returned it to the 14. Six plays later Ed Shannon picked up the final yard for the score and Michigan led 26- 7. Baldacci's conversion made it 27. The final thrill of the afternoon came with only about a minute re- maining in the game when Tom Statistics Mich. Mich.

The nightmare in the afternoon for Washington was merely a work- out for the Rose Bowl-bound Tro- jans' big game next week with UCLA, the nation's top ranking football team. The crowd of 36,108 included members of the UCLA squad, who had no game Saturday. The Trojan varsity scored four touchdowns in the first eight min- utes of the game, and then gave way to second, third and fourth string players. Danboy contributed a 29-yard dance along the sideline for his second touchdown of the initial scoring burst. Sophomore Jon Ar- nett capped a 62-yard march with a 15-yard sweep off right end for another, and quarterback Jim Con- tratto scored from two yards out after end Leon Clarke blocked and recovered a Huskie punt. Reserves picked up a couple of touchdowns in the third quarter; to complete the scoring. Big Ten Standings 1 19 6 2 24 7 26 3 0 2 6 3 1 5 35 By The Associated Press SOUTH BEND - Notre Dame's once-beaten Irish stunned North Carolina with. a 21-point second quarter and then trotted out sopho. more Paul Hornung for a one-man show in a 42 to 13 smashing of the Tar Heels yesterday. ANotreDame, fifth-ranked in the AP's national poll, won its sixth victory of the season by letting the regulars grind out a 21-0 lead in the first 25 minutes of play and then testing reserves with profit- able results. As the Tar- Heels went down to their sixth straight defeat by No- tre Dame since the series started in 1949, Halfback Joe Heap scored the first two Irish touchdowns and sophomore Jim Morse, starting right half, the third on a short pass from quarterback Ralph Gug- lielmi. After that, Irish Coach Terry Brennan tried to show mercy, but the Irish reserves-especially quar- terback-fullback Hornung - had different ideas, pushing across three more touchdowns. North Carolina, trailing 42-0, fi- nally scored on Al Long's 7-yard pass to Larry Parker. With the game near an end, the Tar Heels again scored on a 16- yard pass from quarterback Doug Farmer to fullback Larry McMul- len. Fullback Don Schaefer and Hor- nung each booted three conver- sions for Notre Dame. Long kicked the lone Tar Heel conversion. The fourth Irish score of the first half was made on a short pass from No. 2 quarterback Tom Carey to third string end Jim Munro. Starting the third period, Hor- nung was tail back in an experi- mental Irish spread formation. La- ter in the same period, Hornung ran 38 yards to North Carolina's 4 and Frank Pinn, No. 4 Irish full- back, smashed over for a touch- down. In the fourth period, Hornung grabbed a Tar Heel pass and scampered 70 yards to North Caro- lina's 6, setting up a 4-yard touch- down smash by another reserve fullback, Jack Witucki, for a 42-0 Notre Dame lead. It was then the Tar Heels fi GARNER EASY WINS: Auburn, Notre Dame, Oklahoma Romp C ---- --- __ _' nally drew blood with their des- peration passing attack. North Carolina was in trouble from the opening kickoff when Morse ran back the Tar Heel boot 77 yards tothe North Carolina 22. On the sixth scrimmage play, Heap darted over tackle from the 1-yard line for the opening Irish touchdown. Heap got his second TD on a 10-yard skip around right end in the second quarter and after that the Irish were unstop- pable.

Pat O'Neal, a third string quar- terback, broke the scoring ice late in the second period by hurling touchdown passes of 14 and 22 yards to Bob Herndon and Billy Pricer within a space of 25 sec- onds. In the second half the Sooners, ranked No. 3 nationally, shifted their ground attack into high gear as Buddy Leake, Gene Calame and Herndon scored at the end of 67, 41 and 31-yard drives to wrap up their 17th straight victory in a streak stretching over two years. Missouri, held to a net gain of 7 yards on the ground, didn't score until the final period when quar- terback Vic Eaton and his under- study, Tony Scardino, hurled touchdown passes that covered) 67 and 10 yards and avoided a shut- out. COLUMBUS, Ga. - An awesome Auburn offense crushed Georgia's "Cinderella" team 35-0 yesterday in a crucial Southeastern Confer- ence football game. The defeat virtually ended Geor- gia's hopes of winning the SEC title but Auburn emerged from the game as a fine candidate for a New Year's Day bowl trip de- spite three early season losses. Auburn scored four of the first five times it got the ball, with Joe Childress, a battering fullback and speedy halfbacks Dave Middleton and Bob James doing the damage on the ground. End Bob Pyburn scored two of the Plainsmen touchdowns, one on an eight yard pass from Bob Free- man and the other on a beautiful 19-yard, end around play that fooled Georgia completely. James got two more. He swept 11 yards around end for one and rammed three yards through the middle for the other. Childress kicked a field goal from the 14 in the final seconds of the first half and booted two con- versions. ,. Indiana Edges Northwestern On Late Score EVANSTON, (M -Indiana pass- master Florian Helinski, bottled up through most of the third quarter, set up a 13-yard touchdown run by Milt Campbell late in the fourth quarter with a 50-yard pass and kicked the extra point for a 14-13 victory over Northwestern yester- day. Trailing 13-7, the Hoosiers took the ball on their own nine-yard line and marched for the touch- down behind Helinski's brilliant marksmanship. Helinski hit end Brad Bomba with a 13-yard aerial to get Indiana out of the hole. Another pass to end Bob Fee put the ball on the 32. Helinski then tossed a long one to Bomba to the 13 and Campbell crashed through the left side of Northwestern's line for the score. The Hoosiers turned a poor punt into a touchdown in the second pe- riod. George Gondeck, kicking from his end zone, booted offside on Northwestern's 19. Helinski hit Bomba with a pass on the 6 and fullback John Bartkiewicz bolted over two plays later. Helinski added the extra point. Helinski Gets Loose Helinski, after passing for 125 yards in the first half, was held to one completion in the third quar- ter before he started his fourth quarter rampage. Northwestern kicked off to open the game and grabbed a fumble by Bartkiewicz on the second play of the game on Indiana's 6. Full- back Bob Lauter scored four plays later and Tom Callaway converted. A few minutes later, a pitchout by Helinski went wild and North- western recovered on Indiana's 27. George Gondek picked up 5 yards before Pienta tossed a 22-yard touchdown pass to end Jack Still- well. Center John Damore missed what turned out to be a very im- portant conversion attempt. Hendricks, who has seen little ac- tion this season, gathered in a punt on his own 32-yard line, out-raced the Spartans across the field and skirted 68 yards down the sidelines to paydirt. Hendricks' touchdown jaunt end- ed a great afternoon of football for Wolverine fans who now turn their sights on next week's show-down battle with the Buckeyes. A victory for the Wolverines would earn them a share of the Big Ten Title and might lead to the nomination by the Big Ten Athletic Directors as the Rose Bowl representative of the Western Conference.

Closed Saturdays By The Associated Press ATLANTA - T i n y Jimmy Thompson, smallest man on the field, and his speedy sophomore teammates sliced the nation's lead- ing defense to shreds yesterday and hauled Georgia Tech to a 20-0 victory over Alabama. The lightning-fast Tech attack, paced by the 5-foot-6, 150-pound Thompson, consistently bewildered the bigger, slower Alabama de- fenders. Thompson, Paul Roten- berry, and Johnny Menger - all sophomores - treated a sellout crowd of 40,000 and a nationwide television audience to one of the better offensive shows of the sea- son. Thompson Scores Two Thompson, from Bessemer, Ala., and rubbing it in on his home state for passing him up, scored two touchdowns and twisted and squirmed his way for the major share of Tech's yardage in the one- sided Southeastern Conference vic- tory, in which Alabama failed to score for the third consecutive game. Rotenberry raced 45 yards for Tech's first touchdown with the game scarcely a minute old. Punt returns of 34 yards by Thompson and 55 by Menger help- ed keep the Engineers in Alabama territory during almost all of the first half. Thompson set up the sec- ond score when he ran a Bobby Luna kick back to the Alabama 27 late in the fir:t period. He carved out 15 yards a mo- ment later and then scored from the 7, although hit by a beefy Ala- bama lineman at the one. Burton Grant converted. The little man scored Tech's third touchdown in the third quar- ter, going 5 yards off tackle to cli- max a 14-play 60-yard ground drive. Until yesterday, Alabama was the best defensive team in the na- tion. The husky Crimson Tide had limited eight foes to 33 points.
