COL MARION BA1TLE WED MISS JULIA RAVENEL Lee Chapel Is Scene of Quiet! and Impressing Ceremony. The wedding of Miss Julia Junkin Ravenel, niece of Gener-al and Mrs. E. W. Nichols, of Lexington, Va., and Colonel and Mrs. Francis T. A. Junkin, of Chicago and Washington, now spending the winter in South-i ern France, and Lt. Colonel Marion Somerville, Battle, Unit-ed States Army, retired, of Roa-noke, Va., was solemnized at the Robert E. Lee Memorial church at Lexington, Va., at four o'clock Monday afternoon, No-vember 20, 1922, by the Rever-end C. J. Gibson. The bride was given in mar-riage by her uncle, General E. W.

What's going to happen has been decided in the hearts and minds of ev-ery Keydet. The real football classic will come to a close, and here's hop-ing that old Red, White and Yellow will wave higher than ever before. Ev-ery one knows what the game means, and no one is ignorant of the ability of the two teams. It has been rumored that Tech will play University of North Carolina, if they win, f o r the South Atlantic Championship. The victory in Roanoke means everything f o r either team, and let us decide the answer. Shall it be " W I N " or " L o s e ? " We will reproduce the scenes of '19 and '20; last year the Jinx entered the park, but this year we will keep him out. We are leading the State teams with 288 points, and our rivals are in second place with 223. The records for both teams have been un-usually good f o r the season, and it is hardly possible to say with wMch team lies the advantage, if there be any. Both have lost their biggest game, and have won all the rest, with large scores over the smaller teams. Comparative scores mean nothing when considering a game between V. M. I.-V. P. I. These two teams defeated North Carolina State and Catholic University, with Tech, in the lead, but just a margin of ten points in each case. The two defeated games were lost by exceptionally close scores. So taking it all in all we see how evenly matched the two teams are. Let us help win the game, and get behind the Big Team to a man. Ev-ery one of us squeeze hard and yell a little harder. On Friday and Saturday of last week the Fourth Quarter-ly meeting of the Virginia Sec-tion of the American Society of Civil Engineers was held at the Jackson Memorial Hall. This meeting was not attend 2d by members of the civil engineering profession alone but by promi-nent engineers of all branches f r om all over the state and also f r om neighboring state.?. The meeting was called to or ler by | Mr. J. C. Carpenter, President of the Virginia Section of the i American Society of Civil Engi-neers, who made a f ew neces- 'sary introductory remarks.

Carolina^ Favored To Beat Virginia Twenty-Sixth Game Between Two Institutions Falls On Thanksgiving Day. Virginia and North Carolina will play their twenty-sixth football game on Lambeth Field Thanksgiving afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. This contest will mark a high point in an athletic riv-alry which started in a gridiron contest in 1892, and something like 10,000 people f r om the Old Dominion and the Old North State probably will witness the a f f a i r.

No matter which team wins, there will be no alibis, and the better team will win—not the better team on paper, but the better team for sixty minutes on the gridiron Thanksgiving Day.

He plays either full or half with equal ability, and can outwit any of the opposing backs.
