Sub Goaltender Of Minneapolis Crew Promising
MINNEAPOLIS— Rather a change from the usual is to find a player following in the footsteps of his brother instead of his father as in the case of Tommy Karakas, understudy to Harry Mc-Queston, regular goalie of the Minneapolis Millers of the United States Hockey League.

The history of the building which has seen the Stanley Cup winner decided three times, has been one of championships in many sports.
