USHL Mourns As President Dies At 47
SAULT STE. MARIE— The United States Hockey League was shaken by the untimely death of its youthful commissioner, Robert Kasubeck, who passed away suddenly at his home here on Nov. 3 at the age of 47. Commissioner Kasubeck had been associated with the USHL for the past seven years, three as the league’s referee-in-chief and four as its executive head. The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., native had moulded the growth of the USHL in recent years as the circuit grew to present day strength of eight teams. League officials said that in keeping with Mr. Kasubeck’s thinking, the USHL will carry on as scheduled. Milwaukee Admirals, under coach and general manager Andre Caron, opened their new season by scoring a pair of victories over Copper Country and Central Wis-consin. Center Phil Wittliff, last year’s scoring…

Runners’ Troubles Mounting
PHOENIX— The Calgary Cowboys claimed Murray Keogan on waivers from the Phoenix Roadrunners and a few days later the 25-year-old center scored the winning goal in overtime as the Cowboys edged the New England Whalers 4-3. The goal was the first of the season for Keogan, who was sixth among Phoenix scorers last season with 35 goals and 29 assists. The former University of Minnesota star had grown ineffective, in the eyes of the Roadrunner brass. Over his last 30 games (last season, playoffs, pre-season and this season) Keogan had but four goals and six assists. He had scored two assists in eight games this season. He was one of three minus players on the roster last season, with the highest minus, a 12. “Murray just didn’t seem to get going,” said teammate Jim…
Larouche Hopes To Improve On Rookie Year With Pens
PITTSBURGH— For Pierre Larouche, the objective this season is simple. “I just want to keep going like I did last year and do better this season,” said the Pittsburgh Penguin center, who turned 20 this month after being one of a handful of underage juniors drafted into the National Hockey League in 1974. Possessing the skills of a veteran, Larouche quickly found himself in the NHL and went on to become THE HOCKEY NEWS rookie of the year. In 79 games, he finished with 68 points, including 31 goals. He began his big-league career with a goal in the Penguins’ opening 4-2 win over Minnesota last season and, with the exception of one extended slump, proved to be a consistent scorer. In addition, he brought a flair and vitality to the club’s third…
