Lions Facing
Top Shakeup;
Packers Win

DETROIT, Nov. 27 (AP)-
Some top-level changes, in
volving both the coaching staff
and the administration, are
brewing within the organiza-
tion of the Detroit Lions, who
yesterday lost their annual
Thanksgiving Day game to the
Green Bay Packers, 24-17.
The Associated Press learned
today that Edwin j. Anderson
may be on his way out as
president of the Lions and that
changes are anticipated on the
six-man coaching staff which
may involve Head 'Coac h
George Wilson.
Wilson's cause was not
helped yesterday as the Packers
cashed in on a rash of early
mistakes, then hung on grimly
for the victory that gave them
a two-game sweep over the
Lions for the first time in IL
years.
HOrnung Injured
Paul Hornung, former Notre
Dame great. scored all but six
of Green Bays points, despite
the fact he suffered a cracked
rib in the first quarter and was
used only sparingly thereafter.
Hornung scored the Packers
first two touchdowns on runs of
II and 6 yards, then carried the
ball only three other times be-
cause of his injury. He also
booted a 39-yard field goal and
kicked all three extra points.
Jim Taylor got the clinching
touchdown with a 1-yard
plunge in the second period.
A source high in the Lions
organization made it clear that
many of the directors are not
pleased with the way Anderson
has handled the club since he
took over as president-general
manager in July. 1858. They
were particularly disturbed with
the disclosure earlier this week
that Veteran Quarterback
Tobin Rote may be playing his
last season in Detroit because
Anderson failed to sign him to
a new CONT" -.
kOte --.S -4;g Out
Rote is playing out his option
with the team, although
Anderson said he has gentle
mans agreement" with him
for 1860. It means that Rote,
who is reported to have had
feelerS from the Dallas club of
the new American Football
League, could leave Detroit with
the Lions getting nothing in
return. The option clause is
standard in National Football
League contracts. 1t means
that a player is technically free
to sign with any team after it
expires. Anderson said he and
Rote couldn't get together on

Whdt the New BdbY
Will Mean to the Queen

"It's what we're made fort"
she once said.
AS the announcement pro-
claimed, "The Princess Eliza
beth, Duchess of Edinburgh,
was safely delivered of a
Prince at 9:14 pm" on a
misty November night. Just
81 months later, Princess
Anne was a mid-morning
birth.
There was so little fuss
that the crowds waiting for
news saw the expectant
mother smiling and waving
from a window. She had been
playing in the garden with
Prince Charles the previous
day-and everything hap
pened so quickly that the
Queen Mother drove over
from Buckingham Palace to
Clarence House only five min
utes before the baby came.
Yet it will not be the first
time for 103 years that a
child has been born to q
reigning British Queen. Prin-
cess Beatrice was an after
noon arrival at Buckingham
Palace In 1857, and the
doctors told Queen Victoria
sternly that her ninth child
would have to be her last.

in the Yukon. Yet the Queen
had again triumphantly cut
through all the old super
Stitions that were once asSo-
ciated with motherhood. She
had proved that only the
impossible is just a little diff
ficult under the circum-
stances!
The Same as Before
It was the same when
Prince Charles was expected
and the Queen-then Prin-
cess Elizabeth-faced the tir-
ing ceremonies of an official
visit to Paris. Prince Philip
was much concerned for her.
Instead the Duke himself was
upset by something he had
eaten and faced the crowds,
cheerful and smiling, when
he was feeling dreadfully Ill.
The then Princess did not
cancel her engagements un-
til the end Of July and Prince
Charles was born in Novem-
ber.
Even so the happy Lilibet
went out to q dinner-party
with the Mountbattens only
a night or two beforehand.
She ate everything her hosts
set before her, was not averse
to o cocktail and talked
happily Of the coming event.

A long-cherished dream
will come true for Queen
Elizabeth and her husband
early next year. That is the
warm and affectionate hope
of all the Queens close
friendS-a hope now shared
by all her peoples.
Now at last the story can
be told of the unprecedented
ordeal that the Queen chose
to impose on herself in Can
ada during perhaps the most
distressing time of any young
mother-to-be.
The Queen emphatically
believes in carrying on just
as usual and she pointed out
to her doctors that the ar
duouS program of an over
seas tour was just as normal
to her as the exertions i'm
posed on any eXpectant
mother who works for a
living.
But the Queen reckoned

obeys her doctors and has
complete faith in them. Some
months before the birth of
Princess Anne she asked if
she could go swimming and
made this a regular part of
her routine during visits to
Malta. At an early stage
the Queen usually gives up
riding because of the risk of
a fall, but at Balmoral brisk
daily walks over the hills were
the order Of the day.
At Sandringham?
There seems a reasonable
prospect that the new baby
will be born at Sandringham.
II should like lots and lots of
babies" she once said, and
the possibility that a new
baby might be born at the
Queens family homeland
might indeed be called
Georges one that royal
friends happily envisage.
They know, too, that the
failure to provide a young
brother or sister spaced in
age to Princess Anne and
Prince Charles has caused
regret to both the Queen and
the Duke of Edinburgh. Now
it needs no guesswork to real
ize that a newcomer to the
royal nurseries need not be a
lonely child for very long.
AS optimistic newlyweds, the
Queen and her husband were
thought to favor a family of

The Queen has twice

Alexandra PleQses British
As Princess With HQir Down

She likes parties, playing
the piano. travelling and
meeting new people. Princess
Margaret is called "ma'am"
even by many of her constant
companions. Few people who
have been around her cousin
for long call her anything
but Alexandra, or Alex. She
is a girl-next-door kind OF
princess.
One of the fetching things
about her is the number Of

mits to. She cannot cook,
sew or drive, failed to COM

she began with great enthu-
siasm, and despite her
months in Paris, her French
is of the most fractured kind.
Her success on her first
royal tour by herself ensures
that Alexandra will have
more royal functions to per-
form, and it has already
placed her further in the
limelight. Already, she is
scheduled to launch an ocean
liner. her first. on Noven1-
ber 8.
This will mean some
changes in her life. There
will be no more riding on
buses, and probably no more
casual dinner parties in in
expensive restaurants.
Romance
Every princess must have
romance, so Britons, finding
they have a newly matured
Princess, are thinking these
thoughts about her. After her
strenuous tour, Alexandra
went for a three-week vaca-
ton. She is spending it at

had to be Cancelled on the
evening King Edward VII
was born.
Queen Alexandra splen-
didly surpassed this casual
ness. When guests went ice
skating in Windsor Park she
insisted on joining in the fun.
Suddenly she fell, and it is
often said that her first baby
was literally delivered on ice.
At all events his advent
was so unexpected that a
lady in waiting had to wrap
the infant in a petticoat and
a local doctor tended the
Queen before the four ap-
pointed doctors could be
rushed down from London.
Today the Queen hears
these royal stories with a
true sense of fun. She was
herself born in the middle of
the night, and her grand
parents, King George V and
Queen Mary, were awakened
in the small hours to be told

possibly know.
She went to a village
school, where she earned a
reputation as a tomboy and
played hockey with the local
doctors son. Then she went
to Heathf1eld, a top-ranking
girls school, and to a finish
ing school in Paris.
Though she did a certain
amount of hospital visiting
and charity ceremonials, the
young princess was not well
known to the British public
when in her teens. She often
used to travel by bus in Lon
don, shop unnoticed in stores,
and, later, dine with friends
in inexpensive Soho reStau-
rants.
"Just Call Me Alex"
She was already showing a
distaste for formality and
pomp. She told a friend: Il

Alexandra is tall, slender

life, nor Princess Margaret's
taste for night clubs and

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Britons
have found a new princess in
their midst.
She is Princess Alexandra
of Kent, 22-year-old first
cousin of Queen Elizabeth and
Princess Margaret, and quite
different from both in looks
and temperament.
She has just ended a bril-
liantly successful tour Of Aus
tralia and the Far East. She
returns to a new royal status
at home, and a new place in
the eyes of the British public,
who knew little of her until
they read in their newspapers
over the past two months how
much Australians loved her.
Alexandra is the princess
who is different. She has a
fun-loving extroverted style
of girlish informality that
the Queen could not possibly
maintain and Princess Mar
garet probably does not want
to.
For example, at a ceremony
in Melbourne, Alexandra acci-
dentally sat down on a top
hat belonging to the mayor.
Officials WINGED, but AleXan-
dra gleefully waved the bat
tered topper to the crowd
they roared their approval.
Ninth in Line
Princess Alexandra is the
daughter of the late Duke of
Kent and the beautiful
Princess Marina of Greece.
AS ninth in the line of sue
cession to the throne after
Queen Elizabeth, Alexandra
has had a much more Or
