RUMMEL 16l, AGAIN AT HEAD
B1nd to Strike Up New Selections
1etAeu Singing, Daneing and
Novelty Acts
When the aspirants for places upon
the program of the next Band Bounce
meet Monday afternoon at the prelim-
inary tryout in the band offices on the
second floor of the engineering shops
between 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock, the
main step toward a big scale novelty
production will have been taken.
Henry C. Rummell, '14-'16L, to whom
the success of the last three Band
Bounces is due, will again have charge
of the production. Working with him
is a committee composed entirely of
experienced men.
Already many men who have not
previously appeared before the stu-
dent public have applied to the com-
mittee in charge for suggestions as to
just what will be most acceptable for
this production, and for help in pre-
paring their scenes, but the commit-
tee has insisted in every case that
they wait until Monday, in order that
all competitors for this honor may be
given an equal chance of favorably'
impressing their judges.
Numerous skits are being practised
with a view to producing them upon
this occasion. A one-act play of in-
tense dramatic interest is included
upon the list of known offerings, while
a ventriloquist, who has made a hit
upon the vaudeville stage, and many
feature dancers of extreme merit plan
to aapear.
Singing, dancing, tumbling and ac-
robatic acts, whistlers, -monologists
end cartoonists, novel musical stunts,
skits of all kinds, and other features
are among the specialties desired for
the event.
Between the acts chosen, the band
will fill Hll auditorium with entirely
new music,, which it has been pre-
paring for this occasion at weekly
practices since the last entertainment.
In view of the name which the Band
Bounces have won for themselves in
the past, the committee realizes that
it has a difficult proposition upon its
hands to produce a show which will
be an improvement upon them, but it
firmly believes that this is possible'
since it feels that there is much mate-
rial of the first magnitude upon the
campus which has not yet appeared in
public, and which it expects will be
brought forward at the time of this
preliminary tryout.

New York, Jan. 15.--An explosion
which naval officers so far are unable
to explain wrecked the interior of the
United States submarine E-2 while she
was being repaired in drydock No.
2 in the Brooklyn navy yard this aft-
ernoon, instantly killing one enlisted
man and three yard workmen and in-
juring at least 10 others at work in
the submarine so severely that some
of them are expected to die.
'VhO E-2 was equipped with Fdi-
son batteries, for which the chief
merit claimed is that they do not
give off chlorine gas. Also the E-2
had no gasoline aboard, as her mo-
tive power is generated by a Diesel
oil-burning engine. There was no ex-
plosive powder aboard.
"There was not, at least there should
not have been anything aboard the
E-2," was the way Rear-Admiral Na-
thaniel R. Usher, commandant of the
navy yard, put it, in reply to ques-
tions, -"which could explode."
Of the four dead, one, R. B. Sea-
zert, an electrician of the third class,
was the only enlisted man; the others
were navy yard workmen. The dead
are: Joseph Logan, a plumber -em-
ployed in the yard; J. H. Peck, an
assihtant plumber, working with Lo-
gan; John Schultz, a yard laborer;

o'clock tonight under the auspices of

Y9LNSPROMISE ON TRACK
Zoellin Wins Both 35-Yard Dash and
High hurdles, Tying the Gym
Record Over Sticks
SHOW POOR FORAY IN ShOT-PUT
With at least 100 men out for the
first indoor track meet of the season,
Michigan's freshmen yesterday put on
the boards a brand of track which
causes the authorities to be more
hopeful regarding this season's All-
Fresh cinder outfit. Because of the
number of candidates who presented
themselves to the coach as tryouts,
there will be meetings of this sort
held every Saturday afternoon for the
present at least, in order that the new
men may be as strong as possible this
coining season.
Most of the events showed promis-
ing material. Without exception the
track events were run off in good time,
particularly the 35-yard dash, the high
hurdles and the fastest lap of the six-
lap race. With but one lap more to
complete the half mile, Tuttle com-
pleted the course in 1:50 3-5, which
is exceptionally good for so early in
the season. The ten-lap race also
brought out some good time as well
as good material, the time for this
event being 3:25 flat for the best heat,
another heat being finished in 3:28.
Zoellin, the star of last year's inter-
scholastics, was the individual star of
the meet, as expected, winning the
opening event, the 35-yard dash, in
4 2-5 seconds, which is very fast time,
and leading .the field to the tape in
the high hurdles in six seconds flat.
In the dash Zoellin was but a hair
ahead of Altenberg, the baseball star,
who is out for the outfield of the Pitts-
burgh Pirates.
Both the shot-put and the polt-vault
showed the necessity of a great deal
of development if the freshment are
to be strong in these branches. Bush
took the first honors with the 16-
pound missile with only 32 feet nine
inches, while last year's team had
three men who could better this mark
by several feet without extending
themselves. In the pole-vault, Wong,
the Chinaman, and Casteel early put
the other entries out of the running,
and then fought it out for supremacy
all alone. Wong succeeded in making
the ten-foot leap on his first try and
was given first place when Casteel

THREE BAD CHECKS PASSED
Papers Totalling $35 Were Passed
Upon Business Concerns
Three checks totalling $35 were
passed yesterday on different busi-
ness concerns, signed by a stranger
who fraudulently used the name of
Max Goldman.
All of the checks were payable on
the Ann Arbor Savings bank, dated
December 14, by "Goldman Bros.,"
,with the initials "M. J. G." appearing
underneath the signature. Two of
them for $10 each were made payable
to Louis PoN ell, as was the other,
with the amount of $15. They were
cashed by John McGregor, Willis E.
Scott and the State Savings bank.
The forgery was discovered by Mr.
Goldman, who stated that W. L. Pow-
ell, whose signature appears on the
check, was a former employe of his,
and that he had resigned his position
on December 4 and since that time
he has had no trace of him.
The police department took charge
of the case, but late yesterday they
had failed to obtain any trace of thej
forger.
