By Morris Quinn
IOWA CITY, Iowa, March 8.-
One former Conference record
was broken and two were tied in
the preliminaries of the nineteenth
annual Conference indoor track
meet held here tonight, as Coach
Harry Gill's well-balanced Illinois
team, 1928 indoor and outdoor
titleholders, led the field with an
even dozen qualifiers in the five
events on the program. I
Michigan qualified two men in
the short dash and two men in
the 440, but the semi-finals of the
quarter saw the Wolverine list of
qualifiers cut to three when Da=
ton Seymour and Schulz of Chi-
cago collided on the final turn and
failed to finish among the first
three.
Iowa Qualifies Seven
Iota trailed the Illini in the
number" of qualifiers with seven
men with Ohio a close third, plac-
ing six. Chicago and Indiana had
five qualifiers each, Michigan and!
Wisconsin four each, Northwest-.
ern three, Minnesota two, and
Purdue one.

track. Timm clipped a tenth of a
second off Simpson's record of?

Diminutive Eddie Tolan, Mich-
igan's colored bprnt star, had an'
easy time in winning his heat in

The Wolverine sophomore led the
field all these way and finished
nearly 10 yards ahead of Burk- I
hard of Illinois.!

Ten defeat in four years last night
by a 37-32 score before a capacity
crowd that occupied every avail-
able seat last night in the new In-
tramural building natatorium. The
meet was keenly contested from
the opening relay until the final
event, the Wildcats winning the
medley to clinch the meet and also
to tie for ,Conference dual meet
honors with Illinois.
The meet was marred by two
disqualifications, Michigan's relay
quartet being ruled out in the first
ace, While Peterson, Purple ;breast
stroker, was also disqualified.
Northwestern Wins Relay
The 200 yard relay was awarded
to Northwestern when one of the
Wolverines left his mark before his
predecessor had touched. Then in
the next event -the judges dis-
qualified Peterson for' two illegel
turns in the breast stroke, giving
first place to Golsmith. Michigan
had won the relay by five yards
before the premature start dis-
qualified them.
Al Schwartz, Northwestern's free
style ace, boosted the Purple cause
considerably by defeating Bob
Walker of Michigan in both the 50
and 100 yard races, and also swim-
wing anchor man on the medley
relay. Garnet Ault captured Mich-
gan's only first place by taking
the 440 yard free style in easy
fashion, winning by 15 yards.
In the 150 yard back stroke Dick
Hinch turned in a wonderful race,
beating Hubbell and Spindle by
four yards in the sensational time
of 1:42.6. This bettered ,the best
performance of the year made by
Wohl of Syracuse and many stand
as a new intercollegiate record.
Relay Loss Hurts
Michigan's unfortunate 'loss of
the relay put the Wolverines at a
disadvantage which they finally
overcame when Ault and Watson
placed one-two in the quarter mile
to lead, 18-15. Although losing the
next two events, the Wolverines
still led, 26-25, with two events re-
maiing. Northwestern assumed

IN MEMORIAM
Prof. Francis L. Schneider, for
13 years a professor of English
in the engineering college of the
University, died Thursday after-
noon in his home following a
long illness. He lia4 been in poor
health for two years.
Born in Nov. 14, 1885, in West
Salem. Wis., and graduated
from the University of Wiscon-
sin, Professor Schneider had led
an adventureous career. He
had taught successively in the
State College of Washington
and the Michigan State Cnlege
"If I have a hobby, it is a phil-
osophy that the student cannot
find himself in the crowded class-
rooms of a university," commented
Prof. Richard D. T. Hollister of the
speech department, when inter-
viewed by a Daily reporter.
"My hobby," he continued, "isI
escaping from crowds and getting
crowds to escape from themselves.
I believe that if I can fina a man
when he is being his natural self
and not shamming that I will find
something good.
"I like to be alone. I enjoy noth-
ing more than taking long walks,"
he says. "I have always liked to
stillness, the absolute stillness of
nature." He likes best of all, he
avers, to spend a night under the
stars of the Mojave desert far re-
moved from large groups of men.
His desire to be alone merely ex-
tends to a desire to escape from
the crowd and ugliness of civiliza-
tion, he s.,ates, as he has no ob-
jection to being witi people who
arc sympathetic with his ideas.
As results of this love of the
out-of-doors, Professor Hollister
points to a collection of birds eggs
which he made more than 30 years
ago and which he still keeps. In
