war, an exile, returns to his ancestral
home on the occasion of a great an
nual fair, which is being celebrated
in the village that receives it's name
from his chateau. 1t is one of the, old
fashioned Norman villages of the sew
| enteenth century. The play opens
with an assemblage of village Cos
sips, discussing scandal and small
talk. Serpolette is the main topic of
| conversation among the Bellies of
| Corneville. Gaspard, an old miser,
wishes to marry his niece, Germajne,
to the principal magistrate of the dis
| trict, the Bailli. This does not suit
Germaine, nor a young fisherman,
Jean GrenicheuX, who pretends he
| saved her from drowning at one time.
| The second act is in hall of the cas-
tie of Corneville, while the third act
represents the grand fete given in
honor of the return of Henri to his
| ancestral home. A love duet between
| Germaine and Henri, and the recon-
ciliation of all the parties, bring the
deal of chorus work, solos, duets, ETC.,
| in the play.

The Industrial basketball team and
| the second team of the Wausau Bust
| ness college played a good game the
| past week in which the Industrial
| school came out ahead, the score being
very close.
Last Friday evening Wausau bas-
| ketball fans witnessed a hard fought
| game on the local floor between Wau-
sau and Appleton basketball teams.
The first part of the game looked very
favorable for the local boys, who
started out strong and after the first
| ten minutes play there was a score
of Il tc for Wausau, but the APP
pleton fellows kept getting stronger
| and soon turned the tables IL to IL,
in their favor at the end of the first
half. When the two teams appeared
| on the floor for the last half, the on
lockers could see a determined look on
all their faces that their teams must
win, and the game was very we'll
played, both sides showing good work.
In the second half Appleton only made
| one basket and one free throw. The
features of the game was the work
of Kubitz of Appleton, and Hess, cap
tain of the Wausau team. Hess tried
seven free throws and made seven.
The game was close and only won in

Defeating the Appleton fellows puts
the Wausau team once more in posi-

The Wausau team is going to the
Stevens Point tournament at the end

will be played according to orders
from officials of the Lawrence tourna-

The preliminary game Friday night,
between the High school second team
and the Red Triangle team was won
by the former, is to 6.
A large attendance was out for the
last scheduled game and all were in
terested and excited over what the
evenings result would be.
An unusual feature was a comedy
put on by fellows of the Wausau High
school. Five fellows were dressed to
represent girls and played a game of
basketball with five boys. During the
game flirtations between the players
was carried on, and the game was
hampered frequently by players that
were injured, so that doctor, nurse
and stretcher had to be summoned.
The play caused a great deal of amuse-
ment and laughter and was cleverly
