The Canberras were taking part in Operation "Pony Express" a combined 'RAF, RCAF and Can- adian Broadcasting Company pro- ject that made possible the deliv- ering of the coronation. films to Canadian viewers ori the; sarlie day as the actual coronation: At Goose Bay the Canberras were met by CF -100 jet fighters of the RCAF who took off inimediately for St. Hubert airport near Montreal with the Canberra's load.

THECatlitd SPORTS COLUMN 4 Vistot 70.194000 A strange tale of coincidence that stretched across a 3 -year span, and involved two peelers who had successively occupied the nets of a major league hockey team, was written daring the Stanley Chip series last April, Back in 1950, in the midst of a semifinal Cup series, between Canadiens and New York Rangers, the Canadiens' goaler Bill Durnan, seven times win- ner of the Vezina trophy, "had the courage and sporting spirit to tell coach Dick Irvin; Dick, I'tn not doing theteam any good, My reflexes have slowed down, ,I m through." And so Durnan stepped nut of the picture and ended a career, to be succeeded by little Gerry McNeil, But Rangers were roaring ahead, the wizardy of McNeil, then a rookie youngster, halted them only temporarily, and Rangers went on to win the round, and give Detroit Red Wings a grim battle for hockey's most coveted prize. . on the Thursday night of April 2, last, Canadiens were de+ feated by Chicago Black hawks, in a Stanley Cup semi-final game. That game gave hawks a 3-2 edgee in the best of seven series. One more victory, and the Chicago team was into the finals, Canadiens were out. And the next game was in Chicago, before a fanatic, vietory-mad Saturday night crewed scenting a Stanley Cup triumph for the first time be years, On the Saturday morning, the long arm of Coincidence stretched across the years. For this time it was little Geriy McNeil, the successor to Durnan, who waited on coach Dick Irvin, and declared: "Dick, I'm not doing the team any good. My nerves are shaky. My reflexes are shot. Put Jacques Plante into the net. He'll win a game for us." Irvin gave the matter lengthy studee McNeil continued to urge the change. It was a desperate gamble, but Irvin decided to take it. He benched not only McNeil, but three other reg- ulars, tossed in four rookies, including Plante, a hawk -faced, sharp-eyed French Canadian youngster who had played a few games for Canadiens during the season. Canadiens rallied in spirited fashion, won by 3-0, and first to greet Plante and throw his arms around the rookie goaler was McNeil himself, who had raced alinoat the complete circuit of the rink to be first to congratulate his replacement. Plante played three more games after that. Chicago was eliminated with the dead -pan Habitant in the Canadien nets. Then, in the second game of the Cup finals agaixiet Beaton Bruins Plante faltered, and Coincidence, if you like to call it that, entered again. "You better put Gerry back in there" Plante told coach Irvin. So McNeil was switched back, scored two shut -outs in the next three games, and Canadiens marched off with the Cup.
