 This years receipts arc greater than last year when the game was played at Hartford and smaller than . that received in the game played in New Britain two years ago.
 Expense Criticized
 Considerable criticiGm has been heard of the expense incurred. The total expense was S1g92.54 the greatest part being for the rental of the field which is acquired on d 10 per cent basis. This item was $GS3.S0. One expense which is con- sider"d too great and may bring criticism was the salary of the four officials. Referee A. w. keunc re- ccivrd $50 for his afternoons work as did Umpire Mcrriman. Field Judge McCurdN and Hc&dlino5man Mulligau received $@5 each. An Of . ficial of the school today voiced the opinion that this game is no differ cnt than any other contest and of ficials could be procured at a more reasonable rate. The official salary varies but in most games the referee or highest paid official never re- c"ivcs more than $2J. the school Of ficial said These officials were en- gagged by Coach George NJ.

 Washington. Dec. 5 LP-A rcso- lutiOn to deny SCnator-E Elect Will liam $. Ware of Pennsylvania q scn- ate seat on account of his campaign expenditures of more than $G000U was called up today in the senate.
 Senator Norris, republican, Ne braska, author of the resolution proposed that the Ware case be taken mp next Monday along with the Wilson Ware election contest
 After three years of intermittent discussion. the senate faced the ue- cessity of reaching an early decision on the Ware question.
 By previous agreement the case automatically came up for consid- cratlon, to remain the subject of de- bate until final vote is reached Wares right 10 seat is challenged on the ground that lis expenditure $ IT, the primary campaign of 1926, amounting to more than $500, GOO. were excessive.
 Reed Defends Him
 Ills case was champiOncd by Scna- tor David A. Reed, republican, Penn SylNania, who announced late yester. day that Ware himself. would appear in the chamber personally to defeiI lis claim.
 Action centerel upon the rosolu- tion by Senator Norris. This motion Was introduced during the special session with demand for immcdi- ate consideration, but rather than interrupt the tariff debate. Norris consented to have it go over to the regular session under the agreemen. which brought it up today.
 The movement, sponsored by Reed. was on foot, however, to defer iItoi ny uIdllllIOuS consent Qnl1I the end of the week with the sc-Ate elections committee acting mean while on the contest brought by Wilson.
 A request from Ware that the ballots of 31 counties be recounted was denied by the committee late yesterday, an action interpreted by Reed as indicating that the Wilson contest will be oyeI-ruled.
 Debate seems Probable
 Should this take place the ques- tion of seating Ware would hinge upon whether or not the members of the senate consider the sums spent in his primary campaign as prejudicial, and there were indca- tions that q settlement of the prob lem on this basis would result in a refusal to grant q seat to the scnator-clect.
 Reed, in commenting on the case, said that Ware was so con- fdcnt of the justice" of his claim that he had no inclination to post pone decision. beyond the time

CORNERED.
 HURDLES OPPONENT

NEW YORK, April William Muldoon, New York's grand old man of boxing, believes that Jim Corbett, the wiry dancing master from San Francisco, had the most endurance of the old time heavy weights.
 "Corbett, moving fast all the time" he says, gave the greatest exhibition of sustained speed and endurance I ever saw in his 61- round match with Jackson in the early sos.
 About the 45th round Jackson. dragging an injured leg behind him, finally drove Jim into a cor- ner, where -he wanted him, but Corbett jumped clear over the negro's shoulder. i. And that was after two hours of fighting.
 Jim was so relieved at getting out of that tight place that he laughed hysterically to himself for two whole rounds Corbett prob ably would have regained the heavy weight title from Jim Jeffries at Coney Island in 1900 but for his theatrical friends at the ringside. They applauded him constantly, shouting, Great boy He's a won- der until Jim, always listening for a word of praise, turned once too often to smile.

 Quite a lot of cleaning up was accomplished by the women yes terday, who worhed from early in the afternoon until about 7:45 o'clock last night. Five bon fires were kept bright burning up refuse during the afternoon and a great improvement in the appearance of the bowl was made. They served a supper brought with them and kept on the job steadily, until darkness.
