The basket ball season ended
when the College team defeated
the Normal team on Monday after
noon in a moderately stirring game
which was the second Of the de
partmenlal series. Normal lost the
first game, and so Mondays game
proved to be "A final issue.
Al first the game promised to be
a closely contested one, but early
in the game the winning team got
the lead and succeeded in holding
it throughout the match.
There was crack playing on both
sides. Cartee and Richards Of the
Normal deserve worthy mention for
their spirited and skillful playing.
Wilson for College showed his US

Fielder threw seven baskets,
which won for him the highest re-
cord made by any single player this
season. The score stood 20 TO IS.

to her the mechanism Of the plane.
He told her about the various sig
mails. yet he felt that she would not
endure for long.
1t wasn't always easy to over
come the dizziness, the air sickness
and the nervousness. but Marie
stuck, and before long she was a
good flyer. She enjoyed it. She
was fighting for France and at last
in a peculiar way she was aiding
her people Of Lorraine, for she felt
France must win. since their cause
was not merely might but right.
Air raids were becoming a COM
mon thing. Before long her heart
thrilled with satisfaction at the
chance to meet the enemy in the
air. Squadron 81 began TO soar up

Off slowly, gathering speed at an

ing like a hurricane. Soon they
came in contact with the hated
Taubes which bore the symbol Of

She quickly sent several bullets

swayed. staggered and went spin
ming earthward.
The squadron had quickly put to
flight the rest Of the Taubes and
back again they flew to head
quarters, following Lieutenant

On the ground not far away lay
shattered Taube. The mutilated
figure of a Prusstan officer lay be-
meath the ruins Diagrams and pa
pers revealing one Of the greatest
attacks planned by Prussia were
found in an inner pocket. The
plans. Of course, never reached
Prussian headquarters. From the
information gained, the French
were enabled TO adopt successful
countermeasures that in the end
proved disastrous to the invading
German army and hurled them back
from French soil and her beloved
Lorraine. This was but one Of the
series Of happenings which result
ed in the final overthrow of the
great Prussian army and the sign
ing Of an armistice which compell-
ed evacuation by the Germans o.
all French territory.
Lieutenant Reds" comrades
were quick TO make inquiries as to
why he, at a perilOus moment in
the fight, had suddenly seemed to
lose control. Then Lieutenant
RED" revealed the fact that he had
not been unconscious as Marie sup
posed but had. in reality, only been
stunned and had sensed the true
situation. He told how Marie had
taken charge of the machine when
he was wounded, how she had di-
rected the accompanying fleet and
at the same time had used the rapid
fire gun with telling effect.
Then her deed became known to
all the camp and the name Of Marie
Louveau was heralded throughout
France.
II was a glad day after the armis-
tice was signed, when Marie met
her father in the joyful town Of
Josselin. The people thronged
about her and were loud in their
reclamation Of praise, for while the
brave boys from this same village
had upheld the honor Of France,
this Marie. who so loved her peO-
pie, had done what had seemed TO
be the impossible.
The peasant folk Of the little town
desired TO show her their highes.
