Larry FrankIin's 6:30 team lands second ' I -t d ' f'Hard work is a man's only measure of success. In S Just an overworked cliche? Perhaps, but that short maxim holds more concrete wisdom than any long-wind- ed sermon on the theory of basketball. Upon this prin- ciple, Coach Larry Franklin based the handling of this year's junior varsity team. From the onset of the season, Coach Franklin knew that the tedious hours of power drills and scrimmages were bound to pay off. His system slowly ground out winning results, as his green, untried ball club devel- oped into a polished unit of experienced cagers. With a combination of teamwork plus an unbounded will to win, the J .V. pounded out a nearly perfect season. Despite their tight stall, the ball club fell short of first place when they dropped a cliff-hanger to the Green Berets of East Catholic in the final seconds of a heated contest. The team concluded the season with a respectable 9-4 record and a firm grasp on the second place berth. In light of the impressive efforts of these talented, hard- working underclassmen, one can look only with optimism toward the future of St. Paul's varsity teams. 106
