S6,845 GATE TOTAL.
 AT H. 5. GRID GAME
Crowd Of 5000 Was Less Than
 Expectations

Less than S.0J0 persons saw the New Britain High school football team defeat Hartford Public High eleven at Memorial field in WilloN Brook park, according 10 a rough estimate by Faculty Athletic Man ager Palmer Howard of the Senior High school today. The schools will divide equally the $6,S45 Whicl Y as taken in at the gate.
 New Britain will receive s3.422.50 and Hartford will receive the same. The gate receipts were far below expectations. It was estimated ay officials in charge of the game that q crowd Of 10000 would be present. ln 1924 the teams played at Hart ford before the largest crowd.
 Manager Howard is working o1 the details Of the game receipts anI will soon have an official report.
 It was learned today that Hart ford did not hold up its end in the sale of tickets. The entire stl- dent section was sold out, this amounting to 1,50o but only eight tlcket1 in Hartfords reserved section were sold, A small number of seats in the rush section wecr purchas. hH Hartford fans. Jew Britain fol- lowers backed their team. The en- tire student section was sold. the rush seats were crowded as vas the reserve section.

 X few weeks ago the neWspa pers Of the country carried the informa- ton that students at Vermont uni Nersty pulled down the goal posts and yard marks on the home team after the home team had defeated Vermont. New Britain fans went q step farther. When the Red and Gold team scored it's victory some ot the New Britain fans ran out on the field and pulled down their own goal posts.

Autoist's Arrest Is Bit Of Spite Work.,
Given Says in Dismissing Woman Case

Deciding that the arrest Of Mrs.
Dorothy M. Gibson was a "bit of spite
work" on the part Of the arresting ON
Ger, Judge Ralph Given dismissed the
charge In Police Court today.
According to Mrs. Gibson, she was
driving on Wisconsin avenue yesterday
on the way to take her young son to
school, The heavy snow banked along
the curb forced her to proceed in the
center of the street, she said. Officer
J. Bingham Of the fourteenth precinct
approached from the rear and attempted
to pass. Mrs. Gibson declared that she
failed to alter her course as she was
afraid she would stall her motor in the
deep rlts. The officer eventually drew
alongside and halted her, she said.
Explaining the situation to him she
asked that she be given ticket in lieu
of going to the fourteenth precinct to
