He said he was as a when he i returned to await the start of fall i football practice. The dark-haired Kramer is truely a jack-of-aU-trades in football. He is a crack pass receiver, a rugged defensive end and handles all of the puntng and place kicking chores. He scored 32 points on three touchdowns and 14 extra points 15 attempts. In addition, ha was credited with blocking (iva punts.

sophomore performance earned him a berth on the United Press third All-America team, a place on the ail-Blg Ten squad and carried Michigan to the runner-up spot in the conference standings. Oosterbaan is counting heavdy on Kramer to boost the Wolverines one notch higher in the Big Ten race this season. Playing for the conference champion would greatly i enhance All America chances. Michigan boasts of turning out 34 All-America players during the past half century. Oosterbann is confident Kramer will become the 35th player from the school to win All-America honors.
