Not Franklin W. Maury who graduated from Penn in 1935. Died Dec 23, 2001

Found three Frank Maurys from Pennsylvania, but none of them are of likely age to have played basketball in 1937/38.

Maury measured only 5'5.

Maury also played baseball for the team at Erie General Electric and for Warren in 1938..

ProBasketball Encyclopedia identifies him as Marion Francis Maury, born July 15, 1910, dying 1993. However, I find no evidence of this being the basketball player. In fact, I cannot even find this person at all in ancestry.com or familysearch.com
