 RECEIVED IN MADRID

Madrid, Dec 20.-Late reports on the Cortes election recenved at official head quarters state the approximate number of candidates supporting Premier Dato who were elected, including those unop- posed, is 205 while 150 Candidates sup porting other leaders were elected
 Although itawill be impossible to give the definite result for the house of rep resentatives before next Sunday, the government felt such conviction it had secured a working majority that the premier today sent a message to the king expressing satisfaction over the re. suits.
 An outstanding feature of the elections was the rout of the socialists, who, with the republicans form the extreme left instead of returning to the house with an increased number of deputies as expected, the socialists find theil ranks reduced to only four, while the republicans also are inferior in force.

A real basketball game, full of pep and science, Is promised the fans in Olympic hall tonight, when the All Eastern Collegians clash with the To- cal Crescents. The Collegians will have Hap" Harman, formerly captain of Wesleyan, and lately of the Wyan- okas of the Inter State league. Hap" needs no introduction to the fans in this section as he was big factor in downing the Milford, Mass, aggrega- tion two years ago for the New Eng land championship. "Bilr' Dwyer, of Colgate, and "Yump" Johnson of War anka, two of Harman's running mates on the Wyanokas, will also be here, "Okie" OConnor of Boston College, Tim Cronins and George Noble, who played here with the Ben Hurs early in the season, Casey of the fast Trav- elers, and possibly Joe Smith and -Steffy" Stephanian, both of Grove City college, Penn. That combination will surely be on hand, as Manager Benoit has made the manager of the All Collegians promise the appearance of these men or no guarantee. The local management wants no such farce as last Saturday and in the future will insure himself against such teams The Crescents will present a new line- up, little lighter, but not lacking in skill and power. The Marks brothers will not be on hand and Manages Ben oit will present Cyclone Joe" kelair, a Norwich boy, and "Mondy" Normandin, both of the Emeralds of Willimantic. These men, with Capt" D. Murphy, Mills and Jack" Murphy, can give any team all the action they want and furnish the lovers of the game some thing to talk about The change in the Crescents' lineup is a step towards cutting down expense, as the team up to the present time is not paying proposition, and the effort of the man. agement )jn keeping up the strongest team in Any part of New England to represent Norwich cannot be done at a loss There will be an interesting pre- nrn'"ary game at D. m., whicn will fIll out a good programme for the lov- CTS of the game.
