West Frankfort To Field Young Football Team
West Frankfort Redbirds will be young and inexperienced this season under coach Bill Brown. Only two lettermen return among 125 candidates after 28 grads, with four sophomores, four juniors, and three seniors in the probable starting lineup. Key issues include a scholastically ineligible center and a lineup headachy at center. Returning lettermen are Buddy Davis and Johnny Gore, while star backs Les Pinkham and Larry Foulk have departed. Brown expects the squad to improve by 1952 when the freshmen mature. The 1949 schedule lists games at Carbondale, Marion, Herrin, Mt. Vernon, Cairo, Eldorado, Harrisburg, Centralia, and Benton with varied home and away sites.
