at the wedding Of her good friend,
Mary Windsor, the Princess Royal,
Berries only sister.
1t took three years of powerful per-
suasion by the duke to convince Lady
Elizabeth that he really loved her. On
April 26, 1923, for the third time in
six centuries historic Westminster
Abbey saw a royal marriage. Yet
even in the middle of his happiness,
Albert remembered the happy, bache-
Tor days of his summer boys camps,
and a $4,000 cash wedding present
was promptly divided among the
youngsters of five of England's most
poverty ridden cities
A Fashionable Abode
The royal couple set up housekeep-
ing at Number 145 Piccadilly, in a
fashionable part of London and soon
the Duke was issuing a court circu-
lar" detailing their days activity.

thing. But if scoffers expected Ber-
tie to go high hat, they were to wait
forever. Instead of pursuing his in
dustrial interests by himself, the royal
duke now was accompanied by his vi
vaciOus wife.
England still laughs over the time
when their present king found HIM

mo bones broken, I guess" said the
duke ruefully, after he saw his Ouch
ess smiling in delight.
England felt it could depend on the
duke for it's periodic humor. Though
people sympathizel with Albert's at
tempt to cure his stammering, the ma
ton roared when BERTHE, forgetting a
microphone still was connected, slut
tered in a thunderclap heard all over
the huge Wimbledon exposition,
'"T-th-the d-d-damned t-th-thing does
not w-w-work!"
A Point-Of-View
Among the stern conservative plue
bloods and the Stanley Baldwins VINO
rule England, there were many VINO
preferred the transformations manner
in which Albert visited factories ana
workers dwellings, to the much pup
licized inspections by Edward WILL
that were for example to climax the
abdication struggle. There were many
who believed Albert had the correct
Edward the wrong approach, in such
vital matters.
daughter, golden-haired Princess Eli
zabeth, in 1926 England believed that
the father of the future queen OF their
country was becoming indeed, real
asset to the throne. For the Prince OF
Wales, they held, was beginning at
that time to show the objectionable
traits which in the end forced him TO
abdicate. And in conclusion, II was
thought that even if the Duke OF York
never would reign, it would be to MS
two children that the scepter OF Brlt-
ish rule would fall.
It is no mere witticism, one is tolo'
that Edward was quoted as saying
MY brother, Bertie would make
better king than I would"

Albert, responsible critics held, was
showing increased stature of charac-
ter as time passed. When each year,
the Prince of Wales turned deaf ear
to suggestions of a marriage OF state
to provide England with male heir,
and gradually embraced more and
more the modern" attitude toward
life, there were many who hoped he
would renounce the throne prior to
accession.
When the Simpson affair began to
simmer and seethe, the Duke of York
and his wife, insiders say, tried to
persuade Edward to compromise.
Their two children were favorites of
the Prince of Wales. 1t was known
that BERTHE urged his brother not to
abdicate, that he was not desire to
become king under such circum-
stances.
That is why what Britons consider
is tragedy has all but disappeared this
coronation day. For England is COM
ing to believe that though it lost a
dramatic an sparkling king, it has
gained what is really more desirable
to Englishmen, king who believes
implicitly in the great rock-ribbed
virtues of tradition, family and pride.
Englishmen want no more than that
in their sovereign.

BULLDOGS-AYCOCK

Thursday in First Game
Away From Home
BY SEYMOUR DWORSKv

The Bulldogs were scheduled
play Aycock today at League po,,' "
but the opponents called the game afs
until a later date. The BULLDOGS bo.i
played Aycock once this wear a,'9
were defeated by a score of y 70
however I believe that the local ho,,,
would have had better chance -
defeat these opponents today becauso
of their longer practice, while WHOM
they played Aycock before thew hadn,t
had enough practice, to meet with
these boys.
However the Bulldogs will leave for
Dabney on Thursday, and will anna
ciate any one who comes out to Dab.
ney and root for them. This is tho
first game that the Bulldogs have
played away from home, and we homo
that they don't get homesick and loso
the game. Just which hurler Coach
Miller will use remains unknown. hnt
if you're got enough curiosity to coma
out to Dabney on Thursday, you will
find out before the game goes to
press.
Last week Jackson, one of Bno
Millers most confident pitchers was
left behind due to scholastic trouble
but has been working hard to make
up his subjects and get back on the
team. jackson has starred in several
games and every time he comes out
on the mound, the crowd always goes
up in cheers, and we certainly hope
that it won't be long before he is out
on the field fighting for the blue and
