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. WOMEN TO PY HOCKEY MATCH ATSKATING FIST, Devote Carnival Proceeds to Start Fund For Women's Athletic Clubhouse Plans for the Skating Carnival to be held at Weinberg's rink next Tues- day night are rounding into shape, and in addition to the men's hockey games already announced, there will be an- other hockey match played by selected teams of University women.

CAUSE FOR BLOWINW UP OF E-22 SUSPECT EDISON BATTERIES llnliIed )lan Among Killed; Piece o Mal'M Overalls Carried About 20)0 Feet by shock 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; R: B. Seazert, enlisted man and third Dr. W]lliam Rosenau, Who Speaks at Union Services in H! Tonight Auditorium1 UNION SERVICES TO HEAR DR,_ROSENAU~ "The Place of Authority in Life" Will be the Subject of Address Tonight THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS INVITED Dr. William Rosenau, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and one of the foremost men in the Jcwi: pulpit today, will speak on "The Place of Authority in Life" at the Third Union service of the year to be held in Hill auditorium at 7:00 o'clock tonight under the auspices of the Jewish Student Congregation. Rabbi Rosenau is minister to the ]Lutaw Place congregation of Balti- more, Md., one "of the largest congre- gations in the east. He is a professor of Semitics at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, acting in the capacity of as- sociate to Professor Haupt. Dr. Rose- nau is also the author of several known books upon Jewish subjects. The ritual service at tonight's meet- ing will be conducted by Rabbi Leo lt Franklin, of Detroit, who will also bring with him for the occasion the choir of Temple Beth El, Detroit, un- der the direction of William Howland. All churches in the city will be closed %during the services, and the Y. M. C. A. has given up the usual Sunday mneeting scheduled for the Ar- cade theatre. The general public is invited to at- tend the services. (4reeks Killed by German Projectiles Paris,. Jan. 15.-The official French conimunication issued tonight says: "On the date of January 14, enemy aeroplanes dropped projectiles on Janas. Some Greek soldiers were wounded and one was killed." probably some exhibitions of fancy skating will be offered by the varied talent of the university. The object of the carnival, that of starting a fund to be used for the erection of a Women's Athletic club- house, will only be realized if the students buy their tickets before go- ing to the rink Tuesday evening, for all money taken in at the gate will go 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 (Continued on Page Eight) be written by W. A. P.

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.
