NEW COACH AT FRANKLIN
FACES BIG TASK, BUT HE
BUILDS WELL FOR FUTURE

one Of these. He is the nephew CT Mickey
Branigan who played at Franklin years
ago. The writer well remembers playing
against Mickey, who was one of the
fastest and cleverest back field men in
the State in those days. Howard Shelley,
Hopewell High School athlete, and
Earl Kuhney, of Washington High
School, are both after back field posi-
tiOns. Anton FurgeSon and Vasil Merrill
are two back-fieId candidates who are
members of the freshman class.
Franklin has another husky combina
ton of line men this year and the for
ward wall of the Baptists team will give
all opponents a good argument. The real
ends. Stanley Stroll, captain, is one of
the fastest sprinters in the central Wesl
Even the best track men of the big uni
yersities have little chance at defeating
stroll In a foot race. This big, husky
athlete is a man who can travel almost
as fast in a football uniform as in
track suit. He is q real. football player
and would make good on any college
team in. the State. Harry Gilmore, an
other of the regular end men on last
years Franklin team. is playing faster
game than ever this sea son. Gilmore and
stroll are both good men at taking care
OF the receiving end of forward passes.
Jerrald Gale, basketball star. of An
derson High School, is wearing the
velop into a good end as soon as he has
had a chance to learn more football.
Charles Cochran and Charles Weber of
last years Franklin squad, are after
SON. last years Shelbyville High School
basketball star, is trying for end. If he
learns to play football half as good as
he plays forward on a basketball team,
he will be the hero of many grid battle.
Merrill, a Franklin High School athlete,
is another end candidate.
BOBBY RECORDS
BACK ON JON.
Three men are being worked at center,
but the two not used at that position
will be shifted to either guard or tackle
letes of exceptional class. John Bynum,
center at Franklin last year, is one OF
these. Bobby Records, who played that
place two years ago at Franklin, is an
other, but he is a man valuable at carry
ing the ball and may be used in some
other position. Records is a powerful
athlete and hits the line hard. Burt
Friddle, who two years ago played center
on the Franklin High School basket bah
team, winner of the State championship
this season is trying football. Friddle
IS a we'll built, speedy athlete and he If
last learning the gridiron game.
Sandy" Crowell and Clinton Fateley,
both former Franklin High School ath-
Ietes, are after guard positions. Mack
Whitcomb, a Haden baseball player, is
also trying for guard.
-Four men are the best of the tackles
Burne1 Mumert played that position last
year He weighs close to the 200 pound
mark and for time showed well In
scrimmage Wednesday, but did not ap-
pear to be in condition. When Mumert
gets in shape he will give any tackle a
good argument. Dave Harrison and Bob
Pritchard are two other line men of last
years Franklin team who are being
worked at tackle by Coach Nelp. VIII
ltams of Salem is a new man who is try
ing for tackle.
AS whole the Franklin team looks
as good now as former teams appeared
to be early in the season. The only
question seems 10 be will the Baptlsts'
chances Of defeating Butler and Earlham,
the two important opponents of the sea
son, be lost by overwhelming the Frank
lin team early in the year. The Franklin
manager had a game schedule with Rose
Poly for Oct. 10, but the manager of
the Engineers has called off the game,
saying he finds chat Rose Poly has two
games contracted for on that date
