LOUIS WILKENS Captain Louis NVilkens was playing a stellar game at backguard until the Culver game, in which he received a fracture to his collarbone. After his absence from the court for several weeks, Coach Gilbert decided to play him at forward, where his consistent shooting, accurate passing and untiring rloor work made him the sensation of the team's success. LOUIS NORRIS Louis Norris, all-sectional center, was probably the team's most dangerous basket shooter from short range. He rated second in total points during' the season. He had a habit of pulling games out of the tire and as the result of his accurate shooting in the tinal game of the sectional meet deserves a place , in the Hall of Fame.

SOUTH SIDE vs. CENTRAL PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL CH,xMP1oxsH1P - The day for the Central-South Side game, which was to - decide the supremacy between them. dawned fair and cold. The stands were packed to the roof with the fans and sup- - porters of both teams. The Centralites occupied the east side ROBERT IL-RGENSHN of Lincoln Life held and South Side the west. The game was played and showed a marked superiority of the Green and VVhite over the Blue and VVhite. South Side excelled in passing, line plunging, running and tackling. The only department of the game that Central excelled in was kicking and no comparison could be made because of the fact that South Side was not forced to kick even once. One ot the factors in South Side's one-sided victory was the return of XVilkens and Aldrich t-o the game. As the hnal gun sounded the battle ended and the Green and NVhite were victors by the score of 28 to 0.

ALAN FROMUTH Alan Fromuth was the most consistent player on the team. He was high point man during the season and in the tournaments, and was given berths on the sectional and regional mythical teams, and on the all-state third team. During the entire season no opposing defense could stop the flashy dribbling. passing and shooting of this super-player. CHARLIE BRUBAKER Charlie Brubaker proved to be the flash of the hardwood last season. He played at forward and was the hardest man on the squad to guard, for he could shoot accurately from almost any imaginable position. Charlie's favorite shot was a close up while crashing through the air. He is captain-elect of the 1924 quintet. neg - af. , 4 A,-gf F' A 5 J ' 'ax ,----.a ..t M ,l .
