Fronck Finds Biggest Thrill -
Coaching High School Football

After making a crash landing he
floated in life raft for 2l2 hours.
The current carried him near the
atoll but he was picked up by a
rescue boat.
After the war, Franck played pro
football for the New York Giants
in 1946-47 and was with Baltimore
Colts and the Jersey City Giants
in 1948. He also was assistant
coach for Jersey City.
A bad leg, which had always
bothered Franck, finally forced
him to quit football and he joined
an oil company in Illinois.
However, Franck could not get
rid of the football bug and he
began looking around for a coach
ing job.
The quiet, modest Franck took
teaching job but last season was
given the coaching position at
Southeast High.
Franck learned quickly that
coaching high school players is
vastly different from direct pros.
You don't know what to expect
from these kids" he said. You
have to get down on their level.
1t took last season for me to learn
that you have to keep football
simple in high school.
Each week I had to revise my
plans to make them simpler.
