MADISON, Wis. Jan. g.-+.(A)
-A second period rally that net-.
ted wive baskets in rapid succes-
sion gave Michigan a 24-18 vic-
tory over Wisconsin here tonight.
T h e Wblverines presented a
strong defence that invariably
wrecked the Badger attack. Gar-
ner, at center, proved too much
for the Badgers on both offense
and defense, getting three baskets
and halting numerous Wisconsin
shots. Eveland and ,Weiss also
played strong offensive games.
Nelson Scores First.
Wisconsin led at the half 15-14
and Nelson, Badger guard, was the
first to break into the scoring col-
umn after the start of the second
period caging a goal to widen the
discrepancy. However,Michigan cut
down the gap with a rush, Garner,'
Eveland, and Daniels, who s'ub-
stituted fdr the lanky center at this
point, accounting for five goals
between them.

Missouri Man
Is Jesse James
By Norman F.Kraft.
Claims ofnan aged Missourian
that he is Jesse James were sub-
stantiated here yesterday by Charl-
es Price, 85, a 'local resident, who
Worked as a wandering cowpuncher
in th' old West and was acquainted
with Jesse's brother, Frank.
tPrice has contended for years
that the man who was shot by Bob
Ford and was buried as Jesse James
was not the famous outlaw but a
member of James' gang known as
Tom Howard.' This also was the
contention of the Missouri claim-
ant. James, Price said, went under
various names among them that of
Howard and this resulted in the
confusion which attended the Ford
shooting..
"Of course," Price said, "I can-
not say that this man who claims
he is Jesse James really is Jesse
James but I am inclined to believe
it. It rings true. I do know how-
ever that Frank James, at his trial
two years after Jesse was supplosed
to have been killed, offered to pro-
duce Jesse as a witness if necess-
ary. Later ,while I was working on
a ranch in Montana I came in di-
rect contact with a man named
Frank Percy who it was confided
to me was the real Jessie James.
"After Frank was elected Mayor of
St. 'Louis h went out of Missouri
and was never bothered. I met him
years afterward in front of a sa-
loon in Arlington, Oregon. It was
a windy day and when the wind
blew back his coat once I noticed
he wore the badge of a United
States marshal.'
The. Jamnes boys, according to
Price, were not as bad as they are
pictured. They were saints com-
pared to the modern gangsters, he
said.
DISAPPQIXNTMEN T
First Snowstorm Finds Ann
Arbor WellPrepared.
Weeks ago, Alfred J. Paul street
commissioner swore that never
again would a sudden cascade of
snow catch thie city of Ann Arbor
unawares as has happened in past
years. For weeks city officials scan-
ned the horizon for hopeful signs.
Rain fell by the thebarrel but no
snow.
Yesterday, however, Mr. Paul
arose and with feelings ofMjubila-
tion, rushed to the city barns. He
realized that there wasn't so much
snow so he ordered out truckfuls
of sand instead of the plows. Eight
unemployed men were given work.
The city's brand new trucks went
into action. But, alas, when the
fighting forces arrived on the scene
of action the snow was already
melted. To maintain the morale of
the city department, they threw the
sand on, anyhow.
lost Temper Tantrums
in Boys, Doctor Claims
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 9.-(AP)-An
old suspicion is confirmed. Little
boys have temper tantrums oftener
than their small sisters. Dr. Flor-
ence Goodenough, child welfare re-
search expert at the University of
Minnesota, has found proof that,
while little boys will average a tan-
trum a day, their sisters will aver-
age two in three days.

'CANA0iAN MATMEN
Wrestlers Score 32-0 Win Over
Toronto Team in Season's
Opening Match.
In what was probably the most
.one-sided match ever staged in
intercollegiate mat circles Michi-
gan 's Varsity wrestlers scored a
complete shut-out over the Univer-
sity of Toronto, 32 to 0, before an
opening night crowd of approxi-
mately 1,500.
Only six of the eight bouts on the
season's inaugural card were car-
ried to a decision or a fall. Toronto
had no entry at 155 pounds and
forfeited the bout to Miehigan,
while in the heavyweight match
Stoddard held a good advantage
over the Canadian entry, Watts,
when an injury to the Toronto
grappler caused him to concede the
bout to Stoddard.
The Wolverines scored two falls
in the six matches and the other
four bouts were won with big time
advantages. In the evening's opener
Texiera, the Hawaiian Wolverine,
threw Phillips after holding the
advantage throughout the five min-
utes and. eighteen seconds of the
118-pound bout. Wilson scored the
other fall, throwing Zachanko at
165 pounds in 9:38..
At 126 pounds Aldinger gained a
decision over Johnson in an over-
time bout with a time advantage of
5:54. Aldinger came from behind
in the last few minutes of the regu-
lar period to force the match to
extra time.
Bo b elliwell took a decision over
Fletcher at 145 with a time advant-
age of 4:10. With less than a minute
to go Al Reif almost pinned Shute
in the 175-pound division, but the
bout ended with Reif holding an
advantage of 5:42.

Norman M. Thomas to Lectute
on How America Lives'
Monday Night.
GENTLEMAN SOCIALIST'1
Prominent Author Was Socialist
Presidential Candidate
for 1928 Election.
The "Gentleman Socialist" is the
way the Rev. H. P. Marley, minister
of the Unitarian church in Ann
Arbor, described Noman Thomas,
prominent socialist who will speak
tomorrow evening ;a~ 8 o'clock in
Natural Science au rtorium. Mr.
Thomas is no disappointed man
turned against society, Reverend
Marley said of the man whom Com-
munists hate, but he has arrived at
his views by intelligent and very
thoughtful' study.
Mr. Thomas will speak on the
subject "How America Lives--the
machine age" and it is expected
that he will review the present con-
ditions in the light of political and
social conditions. It is in this field
of politics an political-social writ-
ing that Mr. Thomas is best known.
Author of Books.
In his latest book, "America's
Way Out," stated Reverend Marley,
who is president of the Council of
Religion under whose auspices'Mr.
Thomas will speak, he proposes as
the best solution of the problems
that confront modern America,'
whether it is in the throes of de-
pression or not, a reorganization of
standards along socialist lnes. Mr.
Thomas has put forth othrs of his
views in his articles for the "Na-
tion," the "World Tomorrow," and
the "New Leader," as well as in his
books, most prominent of which are
"The Contientious, Objector in
America," "Is Cons6 ence a Crime,"
and "What Is Indu trial Democra-
cy?"#
Considered Prgminent.
Norman Thomas is considered by
most people "the most- prominent
American socialist," and is is to be
greatly admired, it . was said, for
his persistent attempt to convince
the country that his doctrines are
right. Because of the sincerity of
his views and his personal popu-
larity, he was nominated by the
Socialist party for president in
1928. Before that he had been the
nominee of his party for governor.
of New York, and for mayor of
New York city. The increasing size
of his party pays compliment, it
was said, both to his views and his
ability as a leader. '
At present Norman Thomas is
executive director of the League for
Industrial Democracy and contri-
buting editor of several magazines.
He has been making a lecture tour
of southwestern United States.

PHILIPPiNE POST
Theodore Roosevelt Appointed
by President to Succeed
Governor General.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. - (R) -
Dwight F. Davis resigned today as
Governor General of the Philip-
pines. His successor' will be Theo-
dore Roosevelt, now Governor of
Porto Rico. After conferring with
President Hoover, the Governor
General said there was no under-
standing as to 1when this resigna-
tion would take effect. The Presi-
dent sent Col. Rosevelt's name to
the Senate for confirmation.
Mr Davis plans to leave this
country shortly to visit his wife
and daughter Alice in Paris. Mrs.
Davis' illness was one of the rea-
sons given-for his resignation.
"There is nothing in it," he said.
when questioned. as to whether he
would seek a seat in the Senate.
He indicated he was through with
politics.
Mr. Davis has been Governor
General of the Philippinesy since
1929. He served as Secretary of War
under President Coolidge from 1926
to 1929.
Secretary Hurley said that his
report on the Philippine question
would be withheld, possibly indefi-
nitely.
Mr. Hurley made an exhaustive
study of the Islands recently, and
after a verbal report to the Presi-
dent, the latter announced imme-
diate independence was not wise.
The Sec etary explained that his.
written r port would be withheld.
because it was thought better to
outline the Philippine situation be-
fore Congressionaldcommittees..
Mr. Hoover, said Mr. Roosevelt
had been fitted for the new post by
his work in Porto Rico where, he
had administered island affairs
"with marked ability and success."

MORETIME REPORT
Continuation of Administration-
Faculty Controversy
Is Likely.
Continuation of the faculty-ad-
ministration controversy relative to
the division of faculty time will
likely be made on Monday at the
January meeting of the Literary
College.
A communication from the Uni-
versity Council, whih last month
went on record as opposing the Lit-
erary College resolution protesting'
against giving of information re.
garding faculty apportionment o
time, will be read and discussed, it
was said yesterday.
It is understood that the Literary
College, contrary to council stipu-
lations, will take up the question
and oppose the filling out of a
questionnaire seeking information
as to the number of hours instruc-
tors and professors spend in prep-
aration of classes and lectures, stu-
dent conferences, research, and
other items of routine.
At the same time, the informal
report of the administrative board
will be continued. Other business to
come up is the approval of the cur-
rent examination schedule and the
proposed procedure for final exam-
ination schedules in 1932-33.
