 but the winner is the one that is
 respected and obcyed.
 It's hard system. Losers are often
 entitled to more than they get out
 of the dole of praise that is handed
 out at the end Of all the battles.
 A losers job is surely the harder of the two but-he's a loser and soon
 the world forgets him. College ath-
 letics train winners, they strive to
 make winners and it is the victors
 that are fitted for Life and the l hardest game of them all.
 Have the physicians of New Brit ain and inferiority complex? They should deny this. naturally, but thoTe is a feeling that such is the { case, nevertheless. The question arose at conversation recently as . 10 why New Britain people some of 1 them, prefer Hartford hospitals 10 ] the New Britain hospital, despite f the fact that the local institution has been declared by the American Medical association and the Ameri- . can College of Surgeons to be among the best in the country.
 It was pointed out by former patient that he would prefer to go to q local hospital but went 10 1 Hartford because his Hartford specialist would not go to an out of , town hospital to operate. Asked why he had to get an out of town spec ialist when the New Britain special ists are said to be just as good, he seemed surprised and replied, "Why my doctor told me to-"
 And that seems to be tho answer With physicians, surgeons and spec ialists in this city trained 10 treat everything from corns on the feet 10 bald heads, some local physicians still recommend Hartford special ists Since fee splitting is said 10 have ceased to exist an inferiority complex must bs the only explana- ton.
 To those of our readers who have been awaiting our annual original football play, we must apologize for being late in our announcement this fall. While this means that the clever teams which adopt our brain- child as their own will be forced to practice it for a -horter period than otherwise. it will also prevent them from having it ready before the big games of the year. + will therefore come as a complete surprise to the opposing eleven-unlcss of course, .thc members of that aggregation arc also readers of this column.
 r Our 1926 play is designed to break Q tie which exists late in the game CT to win for team which is on the short end of a 7-6 score.
 It is as follows:
 Right end vaults into stands and makes date with his opponents fiancc causing said opponent to fol- low him with a broadsword Right tackle creates diversion by diving into water bucket and. giving imi- tation of Gertrude Edcrle swimming English channel. Right guard climbs into press box and substi- tutes for Graham McNamee, broad- casting the score incorrectly until stopped by a player of the other team. Center challenges opposing center to airplGne flight over north pole, race to begin immediately. Left guard is more or less fifth wheel on this play, so he merely talks on the need of reforming col le ,1 men and nobody pays any at tention to him. Left tackle sings Barcelona" 1t requiring three men to throttle him.
 If these linemcn have done their work properly, the opposing right end is about the only player left with his mind on the game. It is now up to left end to let this man through, which he does by sacrific- ing himself to the college and com hitting suicide or, if he is not that heroic, by merely pretending that has a sore thumb and standing sucking it. Opposing end rushes past into backficld. Quart erback has received ball from cennter and now gives is to this opposing end, then gets out of way by going into dress ing room and electing himself next years captain by vote of l to 0. Both halfbacks seize the opposing end and turn him around until he is dizzy: this should not be difficult, as most football men are dizzy by nature When he is sufficiently groggy, they let him loose facing his own goal. Thinking he will make a touchdown, he sets off, aided by the two halfbacks, who block off any tacklers of the ends own team. Tullback follows behind, setting down a mug of beer every five yards to divert any other opponents from putting the luckIess end wise to him. self He therefore crosses his own line and is tackled for a safety. The game is won.
 The next move depends upon the location of the game. If it Is be- ing played on the home gridiron, a shake dance follows; if on your op- ponents', send for a battalion of undertakcrs.
 No incident In any of the muni cipal departments in some time has aroused public attention 10 degree approaching that which followed the scolding given by Chief W. c. Hart to the night patrol force last week, when he accused some of the men of inefficiency and consistent failure to cooperate with him, con- cluding with the challenge that they turn in their badges and keys with their resiFnations if they do not want to do police work as it should
