Wolverine leers Faceoff
Against Gophers Tonight

Michigan Netminder Stops Flying Pucks
Flying Airplanes Next On His Horizon

By JOHN SUTKUS
Michigan's hockey team takesa
on Minnesota tonight at 9 p.m. inr
the spacious, not - so - confining
confines of Williams Arena in
Minneapolis.
The roominess of the rink suits
the Gophers perfectly, allowing
them plenty of space to roam
around.
Coach Al Renfrew, who has
had the opportunity to view the
Minnesotans in action three times
against his own team, appraises
them as "excellent skaters. And
they are fast, too."
The Wolverines dropped the
initial meeting with the Gophers
in the Big Ten tournament title
game in Minneapolis, 3-1. They
then turned the tables and:
greeted Minnesota with 3-2 and
7-6 defeats in Ann Arbor.
Minnesota coach Glen Sonmor
views the two game series this
weekend as another in his series:
of must-wins. The Gophers held
down the WCHA cellar all alone
last season in Sonmor's rookie ef-
fort. This year he has whipped
them into contending form. j

if we are going to win both
games," acknowledges Sonmor.
"Michigan has a great goaltender
in (Jim) Keough."
A combination of Keough and
good skating by the Wolverines
beat the Gophers in the Ann Ar-
bor series. The Wolverines kept
up with the slick-skating North-
men early in both games and
didn't allow them any advantage.
Breather
While the Gophers were sweep-
ing MSU last weekend, Michigan
took a breather in blasting West-
ern Ontario twice.
The intervening weekend gave
Minnesota's Bill Klatt the chance
to take the WCHA scoring lead
with 18 points. Klatt, a member of
the flying front line with center
Gary Gambucci and wing Chuck
Norby, heads a list of seven Go-1
phers in the top 10 WCHA scorers.
Minnesota has occasion to play
some defense though, and spear-
heading their efforts is senior
Dick Paradise. In two seasons of
WCHA play, Paradise has put to-
gether an incomparable record of
penalties. He added to that rec-

CHUCK NORBY

burly defenseman will be ready
for more action tomorrow night.
The Wolverines head into the,
series with their share of aches
and pains. Don Deeks was unable
to make the trip and will be out
of the lineup for the second
straight weekend. Dave Perri:l is
still bothered by a bad back and
iay be a doubtful starter.
The Michigan-Minnesota ,eries
is one of the longest and most bit-
ter hockey rivalries going. And the
series with the Gophers is the
only one where the Wolverines
have a losing record. This week-
end Michigan has a chance to
close the gap and pass Minnesota!
in the WCHA standings.

Eight-year-old Jimmy Keough
straggled out to the street, stick
in hand with the intent of joiningj
his older brother in the all-Cana-
dian game of ball hockey. He was
faced, however, with a harsh
ultimatum, "play goalie or don't
play."
No healthy young Canadian is
going to pass up ball hockey
game, even if he has to play goal.
Thus Jim Keough began his car-
eer as a goalie.
Later the same year the goal-
tender for his brother's team fail-
ed to show up for a game and
Keough was immediately recruited
for the local team. This team
which included ,Bart Crashly and
Gary Marsh, both members of the
Detroit Red Wing organization,
became known as one of the finest
midget division (16 years old and
under) hockey clubs ever by the
time Keough was 15.
Whip Junior Wings
This claim was substantiated
when the young Toronto boys
whipped the 17 and 18 year-old
Junior Red Wings 6-2.
Keough, today a relaxed and
confident individual, has given
the Wolverines some of the finest
net minding anyone has seen in
Ann Arbor for quite a while.
Teammate C r a i g Malcolmson
rates him as "the finest goal-
tender in the WCHA.'
Coach Al Renfrew has publicly,
called the easy-going netminder,
"cocky" and his teammates often
kid him about it. But if Keough
sees himself as a proficient goal
tender he is not the only one.
At the age of 13 Keough receiv-
ed a phone call from Chicago
Black Hawk general manager,
Tommy Ivan. "When Ivan called
and told me he was interested in
me I was on cloud nine," recalls
Keough.

'GETTING BETTER':
l' Thinclads in Western Trial

By PHIL BROWN
When Michigan track coach
Don Canham says he might have
a pretty good team, you had bet-
ter believe him. With 19 years of
experience behind him, he is not
prone to overstatement.
I think we'll have a pretty good
squad this spring. We're definite-
ly going to be much better than
last year," he ' smiles when asked
about Michigan's chances for the
p coming season.
That might not seem too im-
pressive when you realize that the
Wolverines finished fifth in the
conference indoor championships
last winter, but it looks a lot bet-
ter with the tracksters' fast-clos-
ing third-place finish in the out-
door meet.
Back For More
Two of Michigan's three de-
fending Big Ten champions re-
turn for the 1968 campaign, plus
most of the nucleus from the '67
squad.
Both Clarence Martin, who set
a new Big Ten mark with a 6'9"
high jump effort, and Bob
Thomas, '67 discus champ, will
be back to bolster Wolverine
hopes for the 1968 crown.
Rich Hunt, who took the high
jump title as a sophomore in 1966,
will also return. With Gary
Knickerbocker, indoor runner-up
last winter and fifth-place fin-
isher in outdoor competition,
Hunt and Martin give the Wol-
verines great depth in that event.
Great depth in most events and
a fine group of sophomores should
combine to give Michigan one of
the strongest track and field
teams in- the Big Ten.
Record Next?
Especially notable is the re-
turn of the two-mile relay team,
which ripped off .a 7:27.0 per-
formance, a bare .6 of a second
off the world indoor mark, over
the Christmas break. The group-
Ron Kutschinski, Tom Kearney,
Alex McDonald, and Paul Arm-
strong - should break the rec-
ord if they get onto a good track.
The pole vault, middle dis-
tances, and distance events
should be other strong points of
the indoor season.
