Plenty of kicking practice was on the agenda. Tuesday in the Michigan football camp. There's plenty more to come. It all stemmed from the kicking in Michigan's 50-0 rout of Washington last Saturday. The conversion tries were as bad as the team's general play was good.

Oosterbaan used four kickers in the tries for extra points. Halfback Tony Branoff and quarterback Duncan McDonald each made one. Misses were made by Branoff quarterback Lou Baldacci (three) and fullback Dave Hill (one). In a close game, one of those missed kicks could make the difference. The panting 'was not much better.

Three men tried their luck. Branoff's lone try flopped 13 yards. McDonald tried two and ax-eraged 29 yards. Halfback Ted Kress averaged 33.5 on his two tries. The team average on punts was 27.6 yards.
