Going along a street earlier in 'the eve- N i ® Mention of last year's Grey Cup game, in which the Edmonton Eskimos literally snatched the Grey Cup victory from the {laws of defeat by Montreal's powerful Alouettes, "always recalls the picture of an athlete who sat sobbing, inconsolably, - on a dressing-roomi "bench, . That was Chuck Hunsinger; -a hard-boiled, hard-bitten old pro, who for two seasons' had battled gamely and well for the Montreal team; leader, the previous season, in touch- downs for his club. Suddenly, he was a broken man, who sat there sobbing, with tears seeping through his mud- rush from a house. She was giimed fingers i screaming ® for help, _ for the building was ablaze. Without He paid no heed to team-mates who patted his heaving back and told Him it was just luck of the game, With mere minutes to play, the ball had slipped from his hands, gone spinning off wildly, was caught up by Edmonton's fleet- footed Jackie 'Parker who raced 90 yards for the touch-down that won the Cup for the west by a scant point, 26-25. It had been 25-20 for Alouettes after the desperately- fighting Eskimos had crashed through for a late touch-down, cutting down en adverse margin of 25-14. And even then, it seemed as though the €ast must triumph again. For the Alouettes were stung They turned on their power, savagely smashed the ball back to the western 10-yard line. A pass A was thrown to Hunsinger, 3 the slightest hesitation the lad fought his way up the' stairs through clouds of billowing smoke. $= Entering a room, he found a crippled woman of seventy- seven, She was almost enveloped in flames, a ghastly sight. But the boy kept his head.

Some years ago a new school was proposed in Northern Rho. . desia, but labour was scarce. Cheerfully, the boys and their masters set to work and made just a fumble, doesn't matter much. The ball rolled loosely. | Parker swooped it in, sprinted over the Alouette line: and so turned defeat into victory. That was tragedy for Hunsinger. A few weeks later, over - 20,000 Montreal fans signed a telegram urging him to return the next season. But we doubt even this overwhelming vote of confidence will ever efface the memory of that tragic split-second in which he lost the ball and his team lost the coveted Grey Cup.

She has been behind the scenes at four coronations "and forty royal weddings. Now: in her eighty-fourth year, she' can saltily recall all.the royal family crises of her amazing life. time. Yet her secrets have never been told. ' . Few people realized, for in- - stance, through all the years that barred divorcees from the - --Royal Enclosure "at Ascot, that | there had been a divorce in the royal family itself. The divorced, both guilty and innocent, were rigidly excluded from Court. Yet Princess Marie Louise sometimes appeared smil-_ ing on the balcony at Bucking- ham Palace--and staid chamber- lains had to admit that Court rules neéd not apply to near relatives ofthe Blood. Though divorce meant social ostracism, they inevitably had to make Princess Marie Louise an exception. So she continued to go to Ascot and stroll in the - Royal Enclosure whenever she . felt like it. ' In 1891, when she was a girl "of nineteen, Princess Marie 'Louise occupied much the same position in royal popularity as the nineteen-year-old Princess Alexandra does today. When her engagement was announced to Prince Joseph of Anhalt, one of the richest duchies in Germany, public opinion rejoiced. Royal guests from all nations flocked to the wedding in St. George's Chapel, Windsor. But the last echoes of the wedding bells had scarcely died away when the Princess endured deep humiliation. After nine years of unhappi- ness and heartbreak the mar- riage -was dissolved. Quietly the Princess returned to England and .began devoting her life to helping others. Even now, at eighty.three, she works with amazing vitality for dozens of organizations ranging from dis- trict nursing to the Docklands Settlement, E Whether for a charity mati- nee, a ball or. a fund-raising speech, good cause organizers.
