physicians, attaches and patients as Sunshine"
 Father Nowakovski made a prac- ! tico of visiting the sick and, regard ! less of their faith or absence of 1 1allh, he brought cheerfulness to pa tlents confined to the institution. In [ the four years he has spent here he
 has mlnistered to the mental and spiritual comfort of thousands who
 have been ill at the hospital His
 presence in a sick room made it
 brighter. He brought cheerfulness
 with him over the doorsill and when
 h' departed the patient usually was
 In a happier frame of mind. Father
 NoWakowski has the faculty of mak-
 ing optilnists out of pessimists in a
 few words. Physicians believed he
 helped them nightly because a
 cheerful mind makes for a more
 rapid recovery and they liked to
 have him talk with their patients.
 Catholics, Protestants and Jews are all brothers of this earth, in Father Nowakowski's opinion, and 44N 4ANN Ni iiNSlIttt'i to pay tt NISll lO a sick person because that person was not of his own faith.
 His friends rejoice that he has won prom lotion in the field of heal ing souls-he has been appointed to a pastorate and will now head his own parish But they regret that he will be taken from New Britain bnrp ha ctnl firm friendships.
 The Bruce Caldwell incident at Yale has brought to public attention | rule of which the public was ln- aware, an agreement by which Yale, Harvard and Pronccton pledged themselves against permitting ath- lctcs from smaller colleges to play on their varsity teams. It is said that there is agitation among the Big Three" to abrogate the rule q step which. the Observer believes, i would not be to the best interest of 1 sports.
 The purpose of the rule is ob- | vious-it was to prevent the big fish from eating up the little fish. | If it had not been in force it is probable that scouts from the bigger universities would constantly em- Dloy their time identifying the star pthletes of smaller schools and per juadlng them to change their colors Regardless of high standards main- aimed by college athletic boards, lunlan nature is what it Is and couting for stars for. the gridiron, liamond and track probably could lot be eliminated. There would be constant competition for the ma of promising athletes at he bigger seats of learning which would lead to abuses which in the nd would lower public respect and egard for the universities. Main- enance of the rule will make for leaner athletics and will protect he Big Three" from the suspicion f taint
 Before the agreement is abrogated ale. Harvard and Princeton must onslder the little fish. Smaller olleges have advanced in athletics n a startling manner, particularly n the football field, partly because ; f revised playing rules and partly ecause the Big Three" are not 3king away their star performers. | is no novelty to sec either Yale, $ harvard or Princeton defeated at 7 ootball by 8 smaller school. All , ave felt the sting of being on the $ hort end of the score in compc- , ton with a school boosting of lesG f rcstlge in every respect Out of OnsldcratlOn for their smaller 'others the Y-H-P combination C lould keep the agreement on the , ooks and let the little fellows have !
 better chance of gaining athletic Q lurels. .
 There is much at stake for Yale. :, arNard and Princeton. There is d uch more at stake for colleges :, hlch do not rate so highly. 7
