Switch Ron Kramer To Half-Back Spot NEW YORK (INS) — Last football season, Earl Red Blaik. the astute Army coaeh, took a memorable gamble when he switched his all-America end, Don Holleder, to quarterback. This spring, coach Bennie Oosterbaan of Michigan is experimenting with * similar project. Involving his 6-3 222-pound All-America. Ron Kramer, and a shift from end to wingback. West Point's operation Holleder was or wasn’t a success depending upon the viewpoint from which it Is' examined. Cadet Don made no 1955 All-Americas and failed to justify Blalk’s hope that he would develop Into even an average passer. The Cadets floundered a good bit early in the season and compiled a hardly spectacular 8-3 record. However, with Holleder sticking : close to the ground but directing things flawlessly, they upset Navy. 14 to 6. Since that is the one the Cadets point ttir. the Blaik experiment had to be considered a success in the final afifiiyeft. ; Like the Army coach, Oosterbaan is asking Kramer to give up virtually automatic All-America selection for a strange position. One thing ,is in Ron’s favor—his duties at right halfback, although it ft a key spot in the Michigan offensive 'patter,n will not be quite so pressing as those Holleder had to learn as a quarterback. r ' Oosterbaan is motivated by the fact tbat thi ’ Wolverines’ ajte pipdeep in ehds 'hut lacking in' experienced men at wingback. where Tony Branotf, the team’s leading ground-gainer last year is graduating. Oosterbaan said: ’ “I concede that Ron’s best position is at end. but have a number of ends and we need wingbacks. 1 think that Kramer* can be a better wingback than any man we have at the position, so we'll try him there. If he doesn’t remain there, his value still will be greater because be will know two important positions.” HUMPHREY SAYS (Continusd From Page One> of parity—it is full parity." In his veto message, the President last week objected strongly to the provision restoring 90 percent of parity price supports on basic crops. The Chief Executive argued that such a . program would increase surpluses and thus make the farmers’ position even more difficult. . Johnson said the U. S. suffered farm depression under the R?pub lican administrations of Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover. Ho declared: “The Republican party Is now pushing us into a third farm depression. This happens because of a basic difference between the two parties. The Democrats worry about the individual. The Republicans forget r.bout the individual and worry only about the economic problem.’’ The Toxas Democrat argued that farm income has dropped 26 percent since 1952 and that depression in one part of the nation’s economy “will ultimately sap out Into other parti** and end the prosperity the country now enjoys.

Dodger Rookie Hurls Victory Over Phillies NEW YORK (INS) — Don Drysdale’s the name. "Remember it well. You may be seeing it otre day soon next to the letters "WP” in a World Series box score. At 19 years of ade, the Brooklyn stripling is not the youngest pitcher in the National League. Pittsburgh has a kid named Art Swanson, who is three months younger. But Drysdale is certainly the youngest starter around. He made his first major league start Monday night against a poised and polished veteran who began his baseball career the year after Ddysdale was born, Philadelphia’s Murry Dickson. And the 6-foot-5 righthander from California’s San Fernando valley went all the way to down the Phillies. 6 to 1. and boost the world champions into a first-place tie with Milwaukee. He showed the Phillies a blazing fast ball and had them lunging for bls newly-developed curve. And although tapped for nine hits, all singles, the youngster struck out nine batters and walked only one. His performance brightened the Flatbush pitching picture considerably. Manager Walt Alston is not counting on help from Billy Loes, bothered by a sore arm. Late reports from Use south on- the condition of Karl Spooner are not encouraging. And Don Bessent, recovering from surgery, will not join the club until next week to begin getting in shape, Drysdale, a 14-game winner in Bakersfield, Calif., in 1954 and 27game winner at oMntrea! last season. actually debuted by pitching two scoreless innings in the Brooks’ opening day loss. But he received his real baptism Monday night before 12,690 chilled fans in Connie Mack stadium, starting out in masterful fashion by whiffing N.L. batting champion Richie Ashburn, Bobby Morgan •and Granny Hamner in order. Frigid temperatures caused the postponement of four other scheduled night games. Baltimore and Boston waited until virtually the last moment before calling it quits at Memorial stadium. Also frozen out were Detroit at Kansas City, Chicago at Cleveland
