Three Touchdowns
By JACK HORWITZ
Associate Sports Editor
Michigan took the first quarter
to warm up, and then proceeded
to run all over Missouri, 42-7, in
the 1955 season opener at the
Michigan Stadium yesterday.
Ron Kramer, Michigan's All-
American candidate, scored 23
points to power the Wolverines to
the lopsided victory. The big left1
end scored three times and booted
five extra points to spark the
day's play.
Missouri Scores
Missouri opened the scoring late
inthe first' quarter after keeping
theball in Michigan territory
from the kickoff. Left half Jerry
Curtwright recovered a fumble by
Terry Barr on the Michigan 23-
yard line. Five plays later, quar-
terback Jerry Huntre passed to
left half Dick Stauber for the
touchdown. Chuck Mehrer con-
verted to give the Tigers a 7-0
lead.
The second quarter opened with
Missouri still leading 7-0. But
then the Wolverines seemedto
tome alive after a jittery first
period. Wolverine left half Tony
Branoff took a Missouri punt, on
his own 41 and ran it back to
the Tiger 48. Three plays later
Michigan had marched to the
Missouri 10, the key play being
a 27-yard pass from Tom Hend-.
ricks to Branoff. The Tiger line
held tight and the Wolverine at-.
tack stalled on the eight-yard line
as the ball went over to Missouri.
Tie Score1
Branoff again brought the pig-
skin into Missouri territory as he
ran a Tiger punt 'to the 40. Two
quick running plays failed, but
quarterback. Jim Van Pelt threw
an 11-yard pass to Kramer who
lateralled to Branoff, the later
taking it to the 21. Three plays
later, Van Pelt tossed to Kramer
on the seven and he raced into
the end zone for the tally. Kram-
er. converted to tie the score at
7-7.
The Kramer kickoff was taken
by Missouri on the Tiger 18 and
returned to the 29. After two
plays and a holding penalty, the
Tigers were back on their 23.
Michigan's Lou Baldacci grabbed
off one of Stauber's passes and.
the Maize and Blue had the ball
on the Missouri 25. Six plays la-
ter Baldacci went over from the
two and Kramer converted. Mich-
igan led 14-7.
From here the rampage started.
Before the half ended, Baldacci
had hit Kramer in the end zone
and with the latter converting to
give Michigan a 21-7 lead.

Latest figures on enrollment indicate that the University's Ann
Arbor population will approximate 20,250 this semester.
This figure for total resident enrollment is a 1,418 increase over
last year, according to Director of the Office of Records and Regis-
tration Edward G. Grosbeck.
Reports also show that 23,750 students will be enrolled in credit
courses this fall at the University.

SU' Plea Eases
Housing Crisis
Cooperation between the Uni-
versity and Ann Arbor citizens
has soothed the University's grow-
ing pains.
After great concern, the critical
stage in the housing situation has
passed. Some students have left
the University for education else-
where, but most pavement pound-
ers of a week ago are housed to-
day.
Only 48 hours after the Univer-
sity issued its plea for housing
facilities, 32 calls had been re-
ceived, and the situation was
easing.
At present, any student can be
placed in at least temporary
quarters, according to Director of
University Relations Arthur L.
Brandon.
Dean of Women, D e b o r a h
Bacon, said on Friday the office
of student affairs still had many
addresses of citizens glad to. take
in students.
She added that response on the
part of Ann Arbor citizens had
been "very fine" and that the sit-
uation had improved considerably.
As to the long-range future
neither Brandon nor Dean Bacon
would state specifically whether
any immediate announcement of
building programs 'was pending,
but both said the University was
constantly studying the situation.
Dean Bacon said housing wasI
almost all clauses will be gone in
the'next few years.
The seven houses that still ex-
clude students on religious or
racial grounds are Acacia, Delta

Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Sigma
Chi and Theta Chi.
Kappa Sig For Removal
Delegates from Southern chapt-
ers of Kappa Sigma blocked ef-
forts to alter the "white only" re-
quirement for membership at
their convention this summer.
Dick Brehm, '56E, said the local
chapter had gone on record as
supporting removal of the clause.
There is a good chance for re-
moval of Acacia's clause at a con-
vention next summer. National
officers of the fraternity suppos-
edly favor removal of the clause.
The local chapter of Acacia has
long worked actively for ending
discrimination.
Although there was no action
this summer, Jerry Prescott, '56.
said it appears certain Sigma Chi's
clause will be removed from the
constitution and ritual n e x t
summer.

Only 51,000 watched the game

But tickets for next week are al-

The day had one, disappoint-

to admit he could not report the

On the last touchdown Mike

from a small white dog who
scampered down with him and
then ran out to try the extra

Concessionaires were busy in

Transfers from junior colleges
have increased, and the number of

Tax
To StabiliZ
Harlan Hatcher to evaluate and
discuss student government at
Michigan, contained a section
proposing that an assessment of
25 cents per student per semester
be levied on all students. Payable
at registration time and collected
by the University, this tax was
believed adequate to provide fin-
ances for student government.
After reviewing the Taing nro-
referendum Dec. 8 and 9, 1954.
The new SGC plan containing
the tax provision was accepted by
the students. The Regents meet-
ing in December led to the adop-
tion of the proposal as submitted
to the student body by the Board.
No specific actkon was taken,
according to Hank Berliner, '56,
SGC president, until controversy
concerning the proposed raise in
tuition was settled. When the raise
