With Egli’s departure Franks is named head coach of the varsity. Putting his iron will to work without any delay, he immediately scraps the T-formation offense the Redskins had been using under Egli and brings back the single-wing. His ’52 squad likes the change too as it posts a 9-1 record, the best yet for the ‘Skins. The only loss of the year is to BuxMont league champ, Ambler, in the opening game, 25-7 (and providing a look to the future, the Ambler coach is Earl Baugher who will later come to Pennsbury and serve as its head coach from 1962 through 1969). With the strong record on the field, the ‘Skins take the LBC title for the third time in their history with the other two championships in 1946 and ’47. The 278 points scored breaks the old record of 236 set by the ’46 team. Comprised mostly of underclassmen, the future looks bright for the team. The annual Redskin team awards are also instituted at the end of that season and Steve Cloak is voted the first “Mr. Redskin”.
