Keating Receives Praise as Bulwark of Line NU Helped; Now for I
llinois ... .
i
By BILL BULLARD
Tom Keating rates as a top Big
Ten offensive and defensive tackle
according to the two men who
most should know: Michigan's of-
fensive line coach Jack Fouts and
defensive line coach Bob Hollway.
As starting left tackle, Keating
is a mainstay on the improved
Wolverine line that was given
much credit for the 27-6 victory
over Northwestern last Saturday.
His value to the team is not
unexpected at all. Last season he
played more minutes than any
player on the team except Joe
O'Donnell.
Then last spring he received the
Meyer Morton Trophy as the most
improved player in spring prac-
tice. It's no wonder that his pres-
ence on the line this fall was be-
ing heavily counted on by the
Michigan coaching staff.
"Tom is a good, strong hit out
blocker," Fouts said. "He is a good
Big Ten tackle.
Top Efficiency
"We usually give Tom a grade ofI
70 to 80 per cent efficiency on his1
blocking. This means that he's
got his man blocked out to the
extent that the purpose of the
play can be fulfilled about seven
or eight times out of ten. This
is a high efficiency rating."
The 6'3", 242-pound senior from
Chicago has all the physical equip-
ment that a Big Ten tackle needs.
"Torn along with several others
gives us great size and strength on
the line this season," said Fouts.
"He's probably the physically
strongest player on the line."
Fouts pointed out that the Mich-
igan pass formation with the ends
split makes Keating's blocking as-
signments more important than
ever. Keating is blocking for pass
protection about half the time this
season.
. Whether he is trying to protect
the quarterback in the pocket or
on a rollout run-pass option, his
job is to keep his opponent from
tackling the Michigan quarter-
back. Fouts emphasized that this
is true on every pass play. Even
when Bob Timberlake rolls out to
the right, away from Keating's
position on the left side of the
line, Keating must stop opponents
from hitting Timberlake on his
blind side.
Keating's most outstanding of-
fensive game was against Minne-
sota according to Fouts. "Tom
played against their captain, Milt
Sunde, who is a very good tackle
and whipped him," he said. "We
ran the ball through Tom's side a
lot because of his blocking. Mel
Anthony gained five yards a carry
running behind Tom.
"Against Michigan State Tom
was also outstanding. He had a
high grade in that game."
Top Praise
Hollway likewise praised Keat-
ing, this time for his defensive
prowess. "He's one of our leading
tacklers if not the leader and does
a very fine job for us on defense,"
Hollway said.
Keating led the line with seven
tackles against Michigan State,
which is outstanding for a line-
man, Hollway said. He added,
"Tom is a hard charger and has
good speed. His strength and
quickness are valuable on de-
fense.
"He has physical toughness and
has a great opportunity to dem-t
onstrate this on defense. By the
nature of the game a defensivex
player like Tom gets a chance toc
show that he likes to hit and make
contact. He has two chances to*
show what he can do. First he
must defeat the man opposite him
and then he must go and tackle
the man with the ball."
Hollway mentioned the North-:
western game when Keating and1
the other linemen put a greati
rush on quarterback Tom Myers.c
Once he hit Myers so hard thatt
it caused a fumble which O'Don-
nell recovered..
Another outstanding game that
Kating played was against Michi-
gan State, Hollway said. Many of
State's plays with halfback Sher-
man Lewis carrying the ball were
directed at Keating. State's run-
ning offense was effectively bot-
tled up, partly due to Keating's
efforts.
Prefers Defense
Keating himself says that he
prefers defense to offense. "I like
defense because I get to make a
few tackles. On defense you can
let yourself go. I love to go in and
dump the quarterback like we did;
with Myers last week."I
With Michigan passing more,
the linemen find things tougher.
"Assignments are different from
regular running plays. Blocking
on pass plays takes more agility.
You've got to hold your man for
as long as possible," Keating said.
About the large amount of play-
ing time that he put in last sea-
son, he said, "I'm playing just
as much now as last season. But
last Saturday I didn't play at all
in the last eight or ten minutes
of the game. I like it when I'm on
the bench in the last part of the
game because that means the team
is winning."

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
SALUTE: BOB BUCK
When a new microwave transmission system was needed
to connect Detroit, Flint, and Lansing, Bob Buck (B.S.E.E.,
1960) designed it.
Bob has established quite an engineering reputation in
Michigan Bell's Microwave Group during his two years
there. And to see that his talent was further developed, the
company selected Bob to attend the Bell System Regional
Communications School in Chicago.
Bob joined Michigan Bell back in 1959. And after
introductory training, he established a mobile radio main-
tenance system and helped improve Detroit's Maritime
Radio system-contributions that led to his latest step up!
Bob Buck, like many young engineers, is impatient to
make things happen for his company and himself. There
are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.

BIG HOLE-Tom Keating is almost obscured here on the right as
he plows out a, big opening for Bob Quist (18) in the season's
opener against Southern Methodist. Keating's powerful blocking
has proved to be a major factor in Michigan's improved line this
fall.

OUT FOR SEASON:
Farabee Sidelined
With Broken Wrist
Ben Farabee, whose key pass
interception provided the key to
Michigan's 14-10 win over Illinois
last year, won't be available to
the Wolverines in this season's en-
counter with the Illini.
X-rays taken of Farabee's wrist
this week show a fracture that
will sideline the junior end for the
remainder of the season.
The 6'3", 202-pound letterman
played 55 minutes last season,
mostly on defense but hasn't seen
a great deal of action this fall.
Farabee made a name for him-
self with a 43-yard run-back pass
interception that set up Michi-
gan's winning touchdown against
Illinois last year. The Illini were
leading 10-7 when he picked off a
pass at the Illinois 44 yard line
and returned it to the one. The
Wolverines then plowed over the
clinching tally.
While Farabee will have his
wrist in a cast for three months,
Coach Bump Elliott will move end
Tom Mack up into the vacated
wing slot. Mack, a 6'3", 220-pound-
er who played his high school ball
at Cleveland Heights, is mainly a
defensive specialist.
