The marriage of Miss Mary Wheaton Tankersley to Edwin Earle Eives, far better known to Carolina students as "Scrubby," was solemnized in the lo cal Presbyterian church Wednesday night. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and MrB. W. L. Tankersley, of Chapel Hill, and is very popular, num bering a host of friends. The groom is too well known and universally ad mired on the campus to need charac terization. The church was beautifully decorated with smilax entwined among the cathe dal candles, large white chrysanthe mums, palms and autumn leaves giving it a softened tone so effective with the beautiful ring ceremony. The wedding began at seven and the bride and groom approached the altar while the soft strains of the "Wed ding March" from Lohengrin whisper ed into the evening twilight. The bride was beautiful in her dress of lovely brocaded chiffon, with a train of white chiffon with beads and pearls caught up with orange blossoms, and with a corsage of lilies of the valley and orchids. The bride's father, Mr. W. L. Tank ersley, gave her to the groom. While the ceremony was in progress Miss Mar .. garej Eubanks sang " The . Sweetest Story Ever Told, " and "By the Wa ters of Minnetouka." The bridesmaids were Miss Mary Toms Stewart, of Washington, N. C, charmingly dressed in green lace over green chiffon; Miss Margaret Jenkins, of Shelby, in pink taffeta; Miss Mar garet Scott, of Sanford, wearing a dresis of green lace over green chiffon, and Miss Frances Glascock, of Greens boro, wearing pink chiffon. AH had handsome corsages of pink rose buds and orchids. The maid of honor was Miss Ger trude Tankersley, sister of the bride, and the best man was Mr. John Mc Auley, of Rockingham.

ONLY DAVIDSON AND VIRGINIA LEFT AND ONE GOES TOMORROW Carolina Meets Davidson on Wearn Field, Charlotte, Tomorrow Afternoon in Next to Last Game of Season Not Expected To Be Difficult Game But Over-Confidence May Be Disastrous. Bridal Party Given Dance At Lawson's Dr. and Mrs. R. B. Lawson enter tained members of the bridal party with an informal supper and dance for "Scrubby" Rives and his bride-to-be, Miss Mary W. Tankersley, Tuesday night at their home, the wedding taking place Wednesday night in the Metho dist church of Chapel Hill. The members of the bridal party at tending the enjoyable entertainment were the following: Dr. and Mrs. Law son, Misses Mary Tankersley, Mary N Stewart, Estelle Lawson,- Gertrude Tan kersley, Margaret Jenkins, Frances Glasscock, Margaret Scott, and Messrs. "Scrubby" Rives, John McCauley, Jr., Lawrance Phillips, Arnold Schiffman and Ben Cone. Chapel Hill Enjoys The Hawaiian Revue Junia's Hawaiian Musical Revue, which played at the high school audi torium Mondar evening for the benefit of the city lire department, delighted a large crowd with its Hawaiian songs and other musical selections accompan ied by the fantastic interpretation of the native Hula Hula dances, rendered by Princess Juuia and Flores. Through out the entire performance the enter tainers held their audience with quaint native selections, rendered with deep expression and feeling characteristic of the race, and intermingled with out bursts of popular pieces, which brought hearty applause from their hearers. The Hula Hula dancers, Flores and Junia, intoxicated their audience with the grotesque recklessness of the dance, which embraced every form of terpsi- chorean art imaginable from shimmy to scandal walk. Performing with the agility of contortionists, they evoked a riot of applause. Charles Opuni, Victor's late record maker whose song, "Some Sunny Day," made him famous, sang the selection. George Kaahiki, Hawaiian guitar solo ist, and Mark Galvin, violinist, render ed skilfully several popular selections and Hawaiian melodies. "Queenio," who has the distinction of being the onlv lady steel guitar player in the coun try, played a few numbers which fully equalled those rendered by the rest of the company. MONTGOMERY CO. CLUB MEETS Montgomery County club held its first smoker of the year Monday night in the Co-ed Room. There was plenty of eats and smokes on hand, and every one present had a pleasant evening. Short lively talks on different subjects were offered by many members of the club. Only two more barriers, Davidson and Virginia stand between Carolina and the South Atlantic championship, but the last ounce of Tar Heel Bkill and stamina will be needed to destroy those obstacles and carry the Blue and White to the crest of triumph. If either Wash ington and Lee or V. M. I. defeat Virginia Poly, and Coach Fetzer 's team wins its remaining games, the Univer sity will have a clear-cut title to South Atlantic honors' as the only team un defeated by another Southern eleven. Tomorrow Captain Pritchard and his men will meet Davidson on Wearn Field, Charlotte. Carolina should not experience any great difficulty in down ing the Presbyterians, but too much confidence might prove disastrous. The Wildcats held V. P. I., reputed to be the most powerful machine in the state of Virginia, to a hard-fought tie, but later lost to Trinity and N. C. State. Coach Gray has a good team in spite of several reverses. His proteges romp ed on Wofford Saturday, 34 to 0, and will enter the Charlotte fray in good physical trim. Faison, McMaster and Clark are dependable players, but the Davidson line is not equal to the -back-field. Captain Spratt Moore and "Gig" Shepherd are liable to break loose any time for substantial gains, and Hen drix has been showing up well at quar ter. None of the Carolina players received severe injuries in the Armistice Day battle, so the first string will be in con dition to start against the Wildcats. Coach Fetzer will probably play Mer ritt, Sparrow, and Randolph during most of the game, using forward passes only occasionally. A large crowd is expected to attend the game at Wearn Field. Many Char lottle people will be there to Bee Coch ran, McDonald and Johnston, natives of that city, perform against the Wild cats. "Casey" and Fred Morris hail from Gastonia, which is only a few miles from the "Queen City," and many Gaston folks will be at the game. Nearly all of the Davidson Btudent body will be on hand to watch their team in action, and a large crowd will come from Rock Hill, S. C, to look over Spratt Moore, the pride of that town. A'irginia succeeded in tying Georgia 6-6 Saturday. Campbell's team will journey up to Morgantown, W. Va., to morrow to give battle to West Virginia University, a team that was tied by Washington and Lee but beat Pitts burgh and Rutgers. Arnold is still the outstanding Orange and Blue backfield man, being a jack-of-all-trades in foot ball. Two other important games that are scheduled for tomorrow are the N. C. State-Georgia Tech and Yale-Princeton scraps. The Yellow Jackets will prob ably run through Coach Hartsell's team, but the Bull Dog and Tiger will wage a battle that will test the mettle of each to the limit. Princeton has beaten Chi cago and Harvard but Roper's men may find it rougher sailing tomorrow. Davidson's record follows: Davidson, 24; Elon, 0. Davidson, 7; Presbyterian College, 8. Davidson, 0; Georgia Tech, 19. Davidson, 6; Wake Forest, 6. Davidson, 7; V. P. I., 7. Davidson, 0; Trinity, 12. Davidson, 0; State, 15. Davidson, 34; Wofford, 0. COLLIER COBB TALKS OF FOSSILS TO SCIENTISTS Geology Professor Reads Two Papers Before Elisha Mitchell Society Dr. Wheeler Discusses Dyes. SECRETARY GRANT LEAVES FOR EASTERN CAROLINA Daniel L. Grant, secretary of the alumni association, left Sunday night for a two weeks trip to the eastern part of the state where he is visiting the chapters of the alumni association. The executive committee of the Uni versity trustees will hold a mooting here Wednesday, November 22. The Carolina Business School, well advertised early this fall but apparent ly dropped out of existence, has at last begun its classes in Dr. Walker's lec ture room in Peabody building. Cours es in shorthand and typewriting are offered to University students who feel inclined to fit themselves for positions as stenographers. TOMORROW'S GAMES CAROLINA VS. DAVIDSON. Virginia vs. West Virginia. V. P. I. vs. Washington and Lee. V. M. I. vs. George Washington. N. C. State vs. Georgia Tech. Maryland vs. Johns Hopkins. Yale vs. Princeton. ' Georgia vs. Vanderbilt. Tulane vs. Florida. Centre vs. Auburn. Carolina Fresh vs. Georgia Fresh. At the regular meeting of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, Professor Collier Cobb gave an entertaining and instructive discussion on "Permian Fossils From the Base of the North Carolina Newark." The fossils dis cussed by Professor Cobb were formed i nthe geological period immediately preceding the present one. The study of these fossils, he pointed out, has re vealed many interesting facts concern ing the animal and plant life of the preceding period. He also exhibited a whale bone found on the north bank of Fishing Creek in the region of the marshes, in North Carolina, which was uncovered by excavators at a depth of about 12 feet. Other bones of whales have been found in that vicinity, show ing that in times past there were a great number of them thereabouts. The second paper read by Dr. Cobb dealt with the evolution of the horse, explaining that the horse family ap peared in Europe and North America at about the same time, and later died out in Europe. He mentioned the fact that the Yale collection and others in the colleges of the country suffice to prove that the horse evolved from a small, catlike animal. Dr. A. S. Wheeler read the last paper on the program entitled, "Some New Dyes," in which he explained the chem ical action involved in the production of several new dyes, the most import ant of which is a brilliant scarlet ob tained . from alpha-naphtholene. He showed that by varying the chemical elements involved different shades and colors might be produced. READ PAPERS TO CLUB Home Ownership and Co-operative Mar keting Discussed at Regular Meet ing North Carolina Club. PATTERSON SEEKS DATA FOR TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY At the meeting of the North Caro Una Club Monday night, an excellent paper was read by D. E. Scarborougl on "State Aid to Home Ownership," and also one by F. J. Herrou on "Co operative Marketing." Herron 's paper was only one phase of the subject, Couutry Community Life and Co-operative Farm Enterprise. He outlined the working of the co-operat ive marketing system and told of the co-opeiative system in use to a certain extent in Buncombe County. Scarborough told how the land mono poly came about in the United States as a result of the government making large grants to individuals and corpora tions. This resulted in the great num ber of farm tenants and homeless slaves. He outlined the systems by which Den mark, Ireland, Scotland and Australia partially remedied this problem. Some years ago when California be gan a movement to aid farm owner ship a delegation was sent to Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Aus tralia to study their plans of state aid to farm ownership. California adopted the Australian plan, in which the state buys up large tracts of land, lays them off in small farms and sells them in long term leases. This has not only relieved conditions, but has also proved a good financial enterprise. For North Carolina, Scarborough rec ommends a graduated land tax that is, a minimum tax on the number of acres required to make a living, and a heavy tax increasing in proportion to the number of acres owned for all above this amount. This would put a premium on intensive cultivation of small farms. He also recommends the Australian system, and building and loan associations. STORY OF CREATION TOLD BY NOTED ASTRONOMER Garrett P. Serviss Lectures in Gerrard Hall, Picturing Heavenly Phenomena. Garrett P. Servisg, a graduate of Cor nell University and one of the fore most astronomers of the day, gave the first University lecture of the year en titled, "The Astronomical Story of Creation," before a large audience in Gerrard Hall Wednesday evening. He began his lecture by raising tho question, "What is the story of crea tion?" which he defined as being "an account of what men have learned and guessed in their observation." Begin ning with the nebulous mass which at one time hung in space, he traced the evolution of the heavenly bodies, illus trating with photographic slides the stages of development through which the nebulae went in the process of form ing the planets as we know them to day. He explained how the mass, which rotated according to mathemati cal laws, was caused to contract be cause of its rotary motion, becoming more dense as it ocntracted, and form ing a crust or ring on the outside. The interior mass, which turned faster as it contracted, formed rings within rings which finally broke up into separate bodies, forming the stars and planets of the universe. These bodies, which were at first molten masses, gradually cooled, and water collected on them, forming oceans. As the cooling pro gressed, the crusts of the planets be came irregular and formed continents. By comparison with other' planets, Mr. Serviss showed that the earth was destined to become a barren, lifeless body as the moon is now, and that Mars has almost reached that stago. Mr. Serviss concluded his lecture by a comprehensive discussion of the Milky Way and the bodies of which it consists. FALL FOOT-SHAKING WILL BEGIN ON FRIDAY AFTER THE THANKSGIVING GAME Carolina Club Orchestra Will Furnish Music Large Number of Pretty Girls Expected. Miss Anne McGehee Weds J. W. Cheshire Professor A. H. Patterson, president of tho North Carolina Association of Physics teachers, has sent out blanks to all colleges and schools in the state to obtain data for a report to be made at the meeting of the physics teachers of the state at the Teachers' Assembly in Raleigh November 30.

SAM CATHEY ELECTED PRESIDENT LAW CLASS Sam Cathey was chosen president by the first year law class last Tuesday morning, in an election attended by the usual amount of politics. Watts Hill, his nearest competitor, became vice president, P. C. Froneberger treasurer, and C. C. Poindexter secretary. All the law classes now have their officers. The Ruffin, Clark, and Manning Law clubs, which take the place of the old time Moot Court, held their elections last week, and have bright prospects foi a successful vear. With one of the simplest yet withal beautiful marriage ceremonies, Miss Anne Ludlow McGehee was united to Mr. James Webb Cheshire in the holy bonds of matrimony, Tuesday evening just at sunset. The Chapel of the Cross, quiet and restful in the evening twi light, was decorated with largo white chrysanthemums. The bride's uncle, Dr. C. P. McGehee, gave the bride away and the groom's father, Bishop Cheshire of Raleigh, performed tho cer emony, assisted by Rev. Alfred S. Law rauee, rector of the Chapel Hill Epis copal church. The bride is a resident of Chapel Hill and the groom of Raleigh. The best man was Mr. Winder Webb, of Hills boro, and Miss Elizabeth Winston of Chapel Hill was the maid of honor. Tho following young couples took part in the ceremony: George G. McGehee and Miss Elizabeth Henderson; John G. Beard, Jr., and Miss Barbara Gray Hen derson; Charles T. Woolen, Jr., and Carolina Winston; Edward Kidder Gra ham and Miss Rena Henry.

Grover Beard, are convalescent.

All the dances will be given under the pledge system. They will bo given in the gymnasium with tho exception of the Gimghoul dance at the Junior lodge Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning this old bit of po etry may run through the minds of those who have rushed back the 200 or so miles from Charlottesville: "This old world we're livin' in Is mighty hard to beat; Wo get a thorn with every rose, But ain't the roses sweet!" YOUNG PEOPLE'S UNION HAS ENJOYABLE SOCIAL Miss Edith Moose, of Russell Inn, carried off the title of Queen of the Evening by winning the most points in the games and contests of the social of the Inter-denominational Young Peo ple's Union, Tuesday night. Over a hundred young people enjoyed the hap py affair engineered by President John Purser and his able assistants in the three social rooms of the Presbyterian church. In order to carry out successfully the games which clever wits and ingenuity had contrived, the company was divided into three groups one for each room. Every time a "queen" or one of her "knights" won any contest, the queen received a punch on her card. Punches were sometimes given to every "queen" on a winning side. When the laughable fun-making was over aud the delicious refreshments were eaten, Miss Moose, with nine punches on her card, received the prize box of candy.
