Lovely Honored
by Hall of Fame
(Continued from page 1.)
j he joins a group of 33 all-time
basketball stars to be selected for
; the hall of fame
Twenty-six coaches and three
all-time contributors to the game
also have been honored by the
Helm hall of fame Added with
1 Lovely were Tom Gola, former
LaSalle university star, and twe
coaches, William Reinhart and
1 Blair Gullion.
During “Jimmy" Lovely’s hey
day at Creighton, he captained
two ’Jay teams—each of which
won North-Central conference
championships. The 1923 team
von 10 and lost one in conference
play, while the 1924 club won
ix in the loop without defe*at.
Complete season's record for
(Creighton in 1923 was 14-5; for
■ 1924, 15-2.
The 1923 season included wins
1 over Marquette and Nebraska
aid the 1924 club defeated In
diana, Notre Dame, Marquette,
Iowa and Michigan State,
Other Stars
At tiny Elkton (on the Minne
sota border), Lovely led his prep
team to the national Catholic
basketball championship in 1920
'in Chicago, 111. “Jimmy” aver
aged 23 points per game.
His election as captain in both
1923 and 1924 at Creighton was
unprecedented.
Homer Gruenther, brother of
the illustrious Gen. Alfred
Gruenther, was an Omaha sports
writer in those days. Lovely’s ev
ery move, on and off the court,
was chronicled by the press.
Lovely apparently left an im
age of himself an inch thick on
i the press camera lenses, judging
' from the clipping record.
He weighed 140 pounds when
he checked in at Creighton and,
at 6-1, was the second tallest
; man.
The scrapbook reveals that
I “Jimmy” was a crack shot from
| any angle and specialized in drib
bling the length of the court
! through all the opposition and
laying ’em in.
| “There was more bodily contact
: in those days,” he recalls. “Part
ly because we’d run onto some
1 of the smaller gyms; also be
cause the game was slower and
I more deliberate.
Too Much Whistle
“Today the officials are blow
j ing the whistle all the time, and
| it seems like somebody is shoot
ing freethrows all the time.
| "We used to setup plays oft
I the center jump and made a
specialty of ball control.
“I think our marksmanship
was better, particularly on the
long Shots. Most of the shooting
was two-handed—not much of
this fancy one-handed stuff.
The ’Jays were small compared
to most of the opposition. All
were 5-10 or under except the
center and Lovely, who played
forward.
Creighton cage teams in those
days were to basketball what
Notre Dame and Oklahoma have
been to football in late years.
"Chuck Kearney, who taught
me my high school basketball,
took me down to Creighton. I was
in the fine arts school one year,
then switched to dentistry.

Creighton players — Kearney,
Johnny Trautman, both in my

younger brothers.”
Doctor Lovely says the receipt
of messages from former players,
former fans and old acquaintan
ces has been nearly as much
thrill as the Helms award.
“I’m still in a state of shock
over the whole thing,” he mused.
Doc coached the Verdigre high
Hawks in basketball for several
i years, but professes the modern
i game makes him nervous.
Matter of fact I haven't been
; to a game for a year or two, yet
1 like the kids and keep posted
I on them.”
Scrapbook a Travel Guide
Lovely's scrapbook also has a
| semblance of a travel guide. He
and his mates appear in pictures
at Niagara Falls, New York City,
Washington, U. C., and other
joints. There were a few special
trains involved.
The immortal basketball star
contends the midwest has always
produced better basketball teams
than the East and South.
■•We always came out best on
our road trips, which would take
us to Ohio. Pennsylvania, New
York, Uie Virginias and the
Carolinas.”
Doctor Lovely likes to recall
the Marquette game in 1923, won
by Creighton 7-6. "Modem fans
would scream if they had to sit
through one of those”, he de
clares.
"Once we built 70 points a
gainst South Dakota university in
an easy game. Such a high score
had never been heard of in those
days.”
"Defensive play is altogether
different. They work the zones
and modified man-to-man defen
ses. Everything today, however,
is in favor of the scorer—the
timekeeper and the references in
cluded, he continued.
Only Irishman
Doctor Lovely was graduated
from the dentistry school, went
downtown (Omaha) and purch
ased some equipment, and headed
for Verdigre on the insistence of
Dr. Ted Havlicek, who originated
I at Verdigre. Havlicek is now in
! Portland, Ore.
“I’m the only Irishman in a
j Bohemian town,” he dryly ob
served, “and I love it.”
His office is downtown in the
pestoffice building. He leads a
quiet life nowadays, long since
| removed from the bedlam of
i Creighton’s big gym and the press
lights.
He and his wife agree the
Helms notoriety has been special:
It’s afforded an opportunity to
renew acquaintances with friends
unheard of for 30 years or more;
it’s been a lot of fun browsing
through the huge scrapbook
which for many, many months
gathered dust in the basement.

Named by the Indians, the Niobrara is swiftest plains stream in the world.—The Frontier Photo.
Bridge Silently Does Job
By MRS. MERRILL ANDERSON
Special Correspondent
The Niobrara river has been
running nearly bank full, carry
ing the runoff of spring snow and
rain.
This man-sized stream, the
swiftest-flowing plains (non
mountain) river in the world,
dumps a tremendous amount of
water in the Missouri near the
town of Niobrara.
The crossing near Redbird is
the connecting span between
Boyd and Holt counties, serving
folks in the eastern end of both
counties. There are other cross
ings near Naper and Spencer.
Frank Phillips engineered the
construction of the present
bridge, which was built 40 years
ago. Material was shipped into
O’Neill by rail and hauled out by
wagon.
It replaced a five-span wooden
bridge which gave away during
a rampage of the river. The pre
decessors to the w'ooden bridge
were mere footbridges.
Along the shoreline of the
picturesque Niobrara there is dim
evidence of the wagon trails of
yesteryear. The old Paddock mill
accounted for some of the early
trails. Others led to fording plac
es of the treacherous river.
At our ranch, three miles east
of the old flouring mill, there
remains evidence of dugouts and
sodhouses—somebody’s home.
C 1 o s e b y, overshadowed by
sprawling oaks, is the Jenny
spring—once a favorite resting
place for travel-worn pilgrims
and their horses.
The mill, tne dugouts . . . they
pass into oblivion. But the old
Niobrara rolls on.
There are the specialists who
want to harness her. Already she
generates power at Spencer, Val

cate of appreciation and a cash
award of $25 for her development
