VISITORS ARE STRONG Third Period Has Rough Pla With Frequent Penalties qs Teams Speed Up. By John Thomas Eddie Lowrey's Maize and Blu sextet scored a fast victory over the Ontario Agriculture College hocke3 team on the Coliseum ice last night before 900 spectators, 3 to 1. Mich- igan distributed its scoring equally ir the three periods while the visi- tors \netted their lone goal in the mn iddle third., Although the first match of the new'year did not bring out the Wol- verine's usual brand of clever hoc- key the game was the most inter- eting from a spectator's viewpoint hlayed, so far this season by the chgan sextet. Frequent penal- ties climaxed several mix-ups in the last third. Fries Penalized. Midway in the last- session Fries was given a penalty for body-cheqk- ig Reid within five feet of the boards. 'Emny' was hurt on the play but after a short rest, resum- ed play. The injury gave rise to faster, more furious hockey, that took rugged condition to withstand the punishment. Later in the per- iod, Fries was again penalized but Chapman followed him to the pen- alty botc for tripping, equalizing ti, hndicap for both teams. After six minutes had been used up in the initial session Sindles slid a pass to Crossman oi1 the Aggies' ied life. Keith wove through the defenie, drew the goalie out of po- otAn, and pushed the puck into the :=et for the first score of the - ch. Ontario showed a fast skat- lhg forward Walit wefe not able to'eihtrnte Miehigaln's sophomore ~tienemen, Chapman and McCol- - any Long Shots. .:Long shots predominated the play in the second period. Crossman poked a long one that was tempor- arily stopped by Goalie Fitzgibbons but slipped through his feet for a pointer after eleven minutes had been played. Scolie came back about a minute later and drove the puck into an unprotected corner of the net for the Aggies' single score. A pileup in front' of the net gave the Ontario Center his chance.

ARREST QGANDHI STATSE FIGT Mahatma Issues Boycott Orders to People of India as, Leaders Are Jailed. BOMBAY, Jan. 4.-(P)-The re- newed struggle b e t w e e n India's Nationalist millions and the British government, brought to a head with the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi, drew its first blood today. In a clash between police and Na- tionalist demonstrators at Allaha- bad, two men were killed, one of them trampled to death. Many others were injured and 30 were arrested. At Cawnpere, police armed with staves twice charged crowds of demonstrators, and throughout In- dia there was great anxiety. Meanwhile, in his cell at Yeroda jail near Poona, the Mahatma is- sued a set df commands to the In- dian people, directing them to with- draw every form of co-operation from the government, to discard LIF E AT TEMPTED'IN BOMB PLOT d Count Cesare P.

S.1 OFFIIA American Consul Sends Report of Attack to Officials in Washington. (Sl Associated Press) Japan's aeepest apologies were presented Monday for the attack by three Japanese soldiers in Mukden Sunday on Culver B. Chamberlain, American consul. Japanese authorities said Mr. Chamberlain had been molested be- cause he treated the three Japanese soldiers "as if they were Chinese" ['The soligiiers at a preliminary hear- ing declared the American had an "arrogant, provocative attitude," the Japanese officials said. American consular officers who received the Japanese apologies at Mukden declined to say whether they were sufficient to clear up the incident, and a report was forward- ed to Washington. Meanwhile the center of interest in Manchuria shifted to the area between Tsientsin, below the Great Wall, and Shankaikwan.' Feeling was strong between Chinese garri- sons in both cities, but no clashes were reported, Tokio sent two destroyers to Foo- chow, China, where demonstrators killed a Japaiese school teacher and his wife. Peiping reported renewed Com- munist activity in central provinces of China. SENATE CHITIZIES Vote to - Distribute to . Necdy Fron a Far Board's Grain Bins. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--(/)-The Senate voted today to take 40,000,- 000 bushels of wheat from the Farm Board's buldging bins and distrib- ute them to the needy. Its action' climaxed a day in which criticism of the Administra- tion's r e1 i e f policies resounded through the Senate chamber and committee rooms. Gov. Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, linked with specula- tion on Republican Presidential possibilities, denounced the Hoover program as "vicious." The Senate acted, without a roll call vote, after a vigorous debate. Senz. Robinson, Arkansas, Demo- cratic leader, asserted the appro- priation was the equivalent of a dole, firmly opposed by President Hoover. Thervehicle of action was a reso- lution by Senators Capper, Republi- can, Kansas, and Wheeler, Demo- crat, Montana/ It had the approval of the Farm Board, which never- theless contended it should be com- pensated for the wheat. IMonroe Man In iured COACHESDICS GRID DEATH CAUSE Yost, Warner Say Pads Bring Injuries to Football Players. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-(/-The contenition of Glenn (Pop) Warner, coach of football at Stanford Uni- versity, that the present hard hel- mets, knee, hip and shoulder pads worn by football players are re- sponsible for many of the present- day injuries has a supporter in Fielding H. (Hurry Up) Yost, ath- letic director at the University of Michigan. The World-Telegram today has quoted Yost as telling E. K. Hall, chairman of the Football Rules committee, that hard hip and leg pads were responsible for every death he investigated. Fitting the semi-ylindrical pad worn by football players on the. front of the upper leg to his own leg, Yost pointed out at it and told Hall: "There is the killer." "You don't have to use your imagination;" Yost said, "to realize what would happen when the tim- ing of- the runner's stride is such that his knee and upper leg, en- cased in that thing, come in sharp contact with the unprotected neck of the tackler.- "Perhaps only once in a hundred times is the timing and the contact such that a damaging hurt results. But the chance is always there and, with more than a million college and high school boys engaged in organized and supervised football, and goodness knows how many in unorganized play, the mystery to me is that pads haven't done more damage." Hall asked Yost to present the same material to the rules commit- tee at its annual meeting next month. Warner, in a letter read before the Football Coaches association meeting here last month, charged that much of the present equip- ment was designed, not to protect the wearer, but to punish the op- posing player. He said just as much protegtion could be afforded by more yielding and softer pads. NO DEPRESSION! Tax Receipts Go 'Way Up; Fraternities Prompt. Prosperity has already returned to Ann Arbor if tax receipts are any sign of a city's financial condition. December tax collections showed an increase of more than $100,000 over last years receipts, according to Ernest Wurster, city treasurer. Wurster and his staff have counted $742,395.06 and they estimate that 75,000 remain to be collected. The December total for 1930 was $684,- 826. Fraternities h a v e been m o r e prompt in tax payments than in BAND0 WILL BE CUT TO 70 MEN FOR FOOTBALL SEASON Reduction in Organization's Size Is Definitely Announced by Director Falcone. EFFICIENCY IS SOUGHT Change Is Expected to -Fortify Its Reputation, Bettering Music and Marching. Michigan's Varsity band will be definitely cut to 70 men for the 1932 football season, it was learned yes- terday in an interview with Nicho- las D. Falcone, diector of the or- ganization for the past seven years. The reduction in number of men will make Michigan's organization one of the smallest in the Western Conference. Illinois has the largest number with 350, Indiana-next with' 250, Minnesota and Northwestern have 225 while Purdue, Ohio S-ate' and Wisconsin have well over 100 pieces. Unreliability Cited. In commenting on the action which he will take next year, Fal- cone stated that he is not cutting the band becquse of the difficulty in handling the organization as has been generally believed by the stu- dent body but because of the un- reliability which the members of the band have shown towards daily drill and rehearsals all through the season and because there are not enough reserve *pn to fill vacan- cies when they occur. "This year," he said, "we had a band of 101 pieces and exactly 104 tried out. If a university is to main.- tain a 100'piece band it must have close to 175 tryin' out so that it' may choose the best musicians and keep enough on reserve to fill va- cancies. Because of sickness, ineli- gibility and unreliability on the part of the men there were often as many as 11 andi 12 vacancies at drills and it wa.oaten necessary tq fill in positions on Saturdays with "dummies" (men who merely hold instruments and march) in order to keep the band at its size. Scores Conditions. "A condition such as this, which lowers the standing of the band should not exist and should be rem- edied in some way and if not enough men are to be had to fill these vacancies, the band must be cut. With a .band of 70 pieces we will be able to select only the best. musicians, those who will -be able to be at drills and rehearsals regu- larly and at the same time will be able to train and keep on reserve 30 more men who will be able to step into any vacancy which might occur." For the past seven years it has been generally conceded among music critics and football fans that Michigan's band has risen from an unimportant position to one of the finest organizations in the country. Both marching and music have been commended often and it was not until the 1931 season that any (Continued on Page ) SEEK RE-ELECTION Thirteen Incumbents Announce Candidacy for September Primaries.

Concluding; a but once broken term of 15 years service as Alder- man of the Common Council of Ann Arbor, Charles C1 Freeman last night tendered his resignation as representative of the "sixth ward. Mr. Freeman, admired and respect- ed as the dean of city's councilmen, has for several years been the sen- ior member of the Ann Arbor Com- mon Council. During his entire term of office, Mr. Freeman has maintained a rep- utation for integrity, ability, and thoroughness in serving the people of Ann Arbor, according to his col- leagues. He has rarely been absent from meetings. of the Council; and, since his illness of last summer, he has been obliged to absent himself from more meetingsthan he missed during-his entire fifteen years of previous participation in the city government.

For the first tinr in months aj WET LEADER #i LAW SCHOOL IS VICTORIOUS IN CONTROVERSY DYER COOK ESTATE GIFT OF 56,000,01 but .has shrunk at least So per cent since that time, it was stated. Mrs. Cook's attorney, former Gov-- ernor Nathan L. Miller, based his claim on a New Yorli statute which went into effect last Septehber and states that a next Qf kin can nob be out off from a share nanses- tate by the provisions of a will. At- torney Miller contended that as the divorce decree was issued in North Dalota and Mr. Cook was a resi- dent of New York, the decree sever- ing their kinship was invalid. Smith Attends. As representative of the bus less departmentof- the university, 8hir ly W. Smith was also at the con- ference in New, York and said yesd terday that the actual signing of the papers could be looked for in the very near future. The settlement of the case was in no sense a compromise, and the University should b# entirely stis- fied with the result, according to a statement yesterday of Henry M. Bates, dean of the law school. The settlement was made, he said, with the complete confidence on the part of the University of winning th# decision. It was made with the view to avoiding ti e N erinable d e7.ay' and the added cost which would have resulted from the appeis which they felt the widow wa planning to make, it Was stated. Dean Bates ea ressed the opion that the amount which Mr.w co will receive will not be begrudge her by anyone., Murphin Statement. i Regent Murphin at the close of the conference expressed his view- point with the statement, "Frot the start I have been very optimis- tic as to the outcome of this con- test, but I have practiced law a long time and I know the uncertainties of litigation. Also the, cost. "We had no desire to have Mr Cook's gift tied up perhaps for years and to have a portion of it go for costs of litigation. By brig- ing about a settlement, Mr. Cooks money, instead of lying idle, can. be put to work in the manner -in which he intended it. "I was closely associated with Mr. Cook in this gift to the University and I know his plans and .hopes. Therefore, I have been especially interested in carrying b u t his wishes as expeditiously as possible." HERE THISWEEK Old English Musicl comedy to Be Given by London Plaers Friday and Saturday.

["lie play, familiar to students oif English drama as one of the sig*& icant works of the eighteenth cen- tury, deals with the sordid lower class existence of thieves, shyster lawyers, prostitute4, and pickp ck ets in the Newgate prison district of London. The overdrawn elegance and pompousness of the Italian grand opera is the principal mate- rial for satire in the production, it was stated by Valentite B. Windt, director of play direction.
