PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 20 -
Michigan's mighty Wolverines rolled
into the Rose Bowl city today and
Coach Fritz Crisler, taking one look
at the sunny skies. herded his A
man squad off to practice.
Sunshine, kisses and oranges dom
mated the reception given the Big
Nine champions by some $500 we'll
wishers as the Michigan special
train arrived, ending the three-day
junket from Wintry Ann Arbor.
After a light unlimbering run
through, mostly for the benefit of
photographers, shortly after de-
training, the Wolverines were sched-
uled for vigorous three-hour after
noon drill at BrookSide Park, just
a Chappuis' throw from the Rose
Bowl itself.
Bob Chappuis, the Wolverines
AL-America passing ace, was the
main target for both photographers
and comely Rose Queen Virginia
Goodhue.
Coach Crisler, fidgeting during
the reception ceremonies, told news
men:
Starting Monday, it will be two
practices a day for us. I had hoped
to have 40 per cent of our work
behind us before leaving Ann Arbor,
but because of the poor weather
we now are faced with the problem
of 95 per cent preparation for our
game with Southern California
The Michigan mentor scoffed at
local odds making the Wolverines
19-point favorites as "just plain
silly"

Tobin Opposes Court
For Inter-Union Fiqhts
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 18.-Opposi-
tion to any legislation providing a
Government tribunal or commission
having the power of settlement of
labor jurisdictional disputes was
voiced today by the General Ex-
ecutive Board of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Daniel j. Tobin, president of the
AFL teamsters, sent a telegram to
Chairman Taft of the Senate Labor
Committee setting forth the views Of
the union. Senator Taft has set
March l as the date on which his
Labor Committee will send a bill to
the Senate for debate.
Asking that labor be permitted to
retain it's right to settle family
quarrels, the teamsters told Senator
Taft:
This is a prerogative and right
of labor and labor claims the just
right to settle its own affairs in the
future as it has done in the past"
Mr.. Tobin said 1--WE regret juris-
dictional disputes such as prevailed
in Hollywood within the last year.
The teamsters maintained their con-
tracts with their employers in Holly
wood and refused to participate in
that dispute"
Defending William L. Hutcheson,
head Of the AFL carpenters union,
who has been criticized for his part
in the Hollywood trouble, Mr.. Tobin
declared that ''the building trades
industry has now almost eliminated
iurisdictional misunderstanding.

| Big Hand in Rome
| Despite Incident
By the Associofed Press

ROME, Jan. 18.-Giacomo Lauri-
Volpi tonight that Italian opera
goers will forgive a tenor a lot Of
temperament if he can hit the high
notes.
The 54-year-old former star of the
Metropolitan Opera, who stomped
out of a dress rehearsal of "Manon"
December 81, angry with the So
prano and the director and NUT
tering that he might never again
sing in the Rome Opera House, came
back tonight in "Turandot" and
scored great triumph.
At his top vocal form and ON his
best stage behavior, the little man
with the big voice sang the role of
Prince Calaf in Giacomo Puccini's
last work with fire and flourish,
taking six curtain calls after the
first act, five after the second and
three at the end.
Furthermore the audience de-
manded that Lauri-Volpi repeat the
operas top aria, shouting down Di-
rector Vincenzo Bellezza, who at
first refused to allow the encore.
A few Kisses mingled with the
cheers at Lauri-Volpi's first appear
ance to remind him that some re-
sented his uncavalier behavior to-
