PAGE SEVEN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDA, NOEMBE 8,163 T E MIHI -- -AI- 1 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."

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. 1 F PBELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES -Daily-Bruce Taylor 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.

THIS WEEK'S GAMES Consensus Picks in CAPS (Consensus, 82-58-.586) TOM KEATING ... anchors line 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. 1 Michigan at ILLINOIS 2. Minnesota at IOWA 3. MICHIGAN STATE at Purdue 4.
