No Where For Cats To Go But Up By Jim Friend
Franklin Highs Wildcats look to improve after a 1-7-1 season in 1961 with only a forfeit win. Coach Alan Parr, aided by Henry Lecrone and Tom Benny, notes slow but steady progress and shuffles two players to fill backfield gaps as they enter Mid Miami League play. Gerald Whaley moves from fullback to halfback and Dick Ledford shifts from center to fullback to bolster the backfield.
