South High to Lose Two Stellar
% Basketeers Through Graduation
__'
Two star South High cagers will
writ* finis to their basket ball car
reers after the state tournament next
week. 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.

Captain Jimmie Lovely Ends Great
Cage Career Against Marquette
Has Piloted Four Champion
ship Teams—Two at
Creighton Uni
versity.
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.
