Captain Earl Wedberg and “Gitte” Clark are the two Packers concerned. Both Clark and Wed berg have played regular for three years, and have held down every po sition on the team during their regime. Wedberg's first position was at guard, where he played througli the latter part of the 1922 season. With the failure of Captain Boss Nixon to return to school for the 1923 sea son, Wedberg was shifted to the pivot position by Coach Patton. Wed berg took to this position like a duck takes to water, out-jumping many a taller opponent, and holding his own with any center In the state. This season, with the graduation of Graham, star Packer forward, and the scarcity of a dependable succes sor to Graham, Coach Patton shifted Wedberg to forward. As the candi dates for the forward position im proved. Wedberg was again shifted back to center, where he is now per forming. Besiles being a stellar bas keteer, Wedberg was also a football star for two years on Coach Patton's eleven, being an all state selection last year. "Gitts" Clark’s athletic education haa been a trifle more extensive, get ting his letter In baseball, basket ball and football. Clark's basket ball days started about the same time that tVedberg's started, the latter part of the 1922 season. That year Clark was used mostly at guard, sel dom being used at forward or cen ter. Tho next season, with the grad uation of Dana Ackerman, Clark was shifted to forward, where he had as much success as Wf dberg did at cen ter, and proved an excellent running mate to Russ Graham. The first part of this season found Clark and Graham again at the for ward positions where they performed in fine style. With the graduation of Graham, and Julius Katzman,, veteran Packer guard, in January, Clark was shifted back to guard be cause of the fact that no good de pendable guard could be found for Katsman's position, and Clark la per forming In the latter position in great style. He is the star pitcher on the Packer baseball team, this also being his tast year on that team. Both Wedberg and Clark graduate in June. Gopher Grapplers Defeat Nebraska Lincoln, March 2.—Leading all the way until the heavyweight match, Nebraska dropped a dual wrestling meet to Minnesota here last night, 9 to 6, when A.

CAPT. JIMMIE LOVELV. rangy, fair, curly-hcaded chief of ttie Bluejay basketball team, ha* end ed hi* brilliant cage career. No more will Creighton followers see their tall favorite dribble the length of the floor with the meteoric speed through the entire opposing team to drop the ball unerringly through the hoop. No more will they watch him smother the enemy's offense with the effective ness that earned for him the reputa tion as a rock of Gibrantar in defense. The Blue and White has lost its great hoop artist; one whose ability as guard, forward and leader has placed him In the ranks of the best basket ball players. Captain Lovely's record is one that Is hard to equal, not to mention be ing bettered. He has been captain of four basket ball teams and has piloted each one of them to championship honors. His cage career begun In Elkton, S. D„ In 1918. In 1919 he was chosen captain of the high school team and led his quintet to many vic tories and the state championship. In 1920 he was again captain and In the state tournament Elkton for the sec ond time captured the championship. The 1921 season saw him a candidate for a place on the Creighton five. His extreme light weight was against him, but he played enough to win his letter. In 1922 he played regularly and in 1923 was picked by his team mates as the one best suited for their leader. Creighton developed a pow erful team and easily won the North Central championship, and Lovely was picked unanimously as forward on the all-conference team. This season, the Bluejay*’ most successful. Lovely was again voted^ pilot of the squad. It is an honor never before known in the annals of the school and one of rare occur- j rence in any school for a man to hold leadership in any sport for two sea sons. This alone shows the high re gard in which he is held by his team mates. This season has been a fit ting climax for such a basket career. Captain Jimmie has led hi* team to 15 victories In IT contests and also’ the North Central conference cham-1 pionship. Records Tumble at Illinois Meet Br rr«». Ushana, 111..
