MINNEAPOLIS, March 7-Quali-
fying six miien in the preliminaries,
Wisconsin assumed the lead in the
race for the Big Ten track cham-
plonship at the Minnesota Field
ouse in Minneapolis last night.
Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois
elch qualifying men, tied for sec-
ond place. Chicago and Indiana,
qualifying four men each, were
next in line, while Minnesota fol-
lowed with three men, and Iowa,
NIrthwestern and Purdue trailed,
placing only two- men each. The
preliminaries included only the 60
yard dash, the 440 yard dash, the
70, yard high hurdles, and the hal
mile.
Finals Tonight.
The finals in these events, as well
as in the mile run, high jump, pole
vault, shot ptit, broad jump, two
mile relay will be run off tomorrow
night.
:Tolan of Michigan and Simpson
of Ohio State set the pace in the
60 yard dash, each man winning
hisbheat in 6.3 seconds, just one tenth
of a second above the Conference
record, which is held by Simpson.
Campbell of Mlchigan also won his
heat in this event, nosing out Hass
of Minnesota in 6.4 seconds.
Sentman of Illinois was one of
the few men to equal a Conference
record last night, the lanky Sucker
turning the trick to win his heat
in the 70 yard high hurdles. Potter
was the only Michigan man to
qualify in this event. He took a
third in the slowest heat.
Seymour Nosed Out.
Although he ran a beautiful race
to take second In his heat in the
440 yard dash preliminaries, Dale
Seymour lost out in a heart-break-
ing finish in the semi-finals. Clev-
erly boxed during the last lap, Sey-
mour failed by inches to qualify.
His brother, Dalton Seymour, was
eliminated in the sixth heat of the
pieliminaries, in which third place
was the best he could take.
The big surprise of the evening
was the failure of the highly tout-
ed Iowa team, defending champion,
t place more than two men. This
fact, however, does not mean that
Iowa is out of the race, for almost
anything is likely to happen in the
field events. which will,. be run off
tonight.

pilot today submitted his resigna-
( tion from the service to build an
airplane "which will recover the;
world's aviation speed record for
the United States."

ing:. "to orgsnie a program for

The contest was held Tuesday in
Angell hall. Twenty-three students
were listed as entries, but five of
these failed to complete the com-
prehensive examination. The win-
ning papers were judged by the 10- -
cal committee, composed of Prof.
John L. Brumm of the journalism
department, chairman, Prof. P. W.
Slosson of the history department.
Prof. Z. C. Dickinson of the eco-
nomics department, and 'Prof. W.
M. Abbot of the rhetoric depart-
ment.

Final Sales Drive
Yearbook to be Placed on Last
Campus Sale March 12-14.
Starting its final campus sales
campaign of the year, originally
scheduled for this week, the Mich-
iganensian will station salesmen at
various points on the campus on
March 12, 13, and 14 for the bene-
fit of those students who have not
yet bought copies. On March 14
the price of the yearbook will be
raised from $5.00 to $5.50.
There are still more than 300
persons who hold receipts which
entitle them to a reduction of $1
on the present price of the 'Ensian.
These receipts should be paid up
before March 14, as they will be
void after that date.
Ifollowed by slow betterment.
With maintenance of wage rates,
with lower interest rates, and with
enlarged capital b'etterment expen-
ditures by railroads, utilities, and
business generally, he said he look-
ed for the advance of spring to re-
store normal prosperity. The'
President made his statement after-
conferring with Secretary Lamont
and Davis. The text was: "The de-
partments of commerce and labor
are engaged in the usual monthly
survey of business and unemploy-
Iment and especially of the results
obtained from the measures which
have been in progress since the last
of November to reduce unemploy-
ment and the hardship following
the dislocation from the stock ex- I
l hange crash. The survey is not
yet complete. There are, however,.
certain conclusions that are evi-'
dent.
Thirty-six States Normal,
tOine, unemployment amounting
to distress is, in the main concen-
trated in 12 states. The authori-
ties in the remaining 36 states in-
dicate only normal seasonal un-
employment or that the minor ab-
normal unemployment is being
rapidly absorbed.
"Two, the low point of business'
and unemployment was the latter
part of December and early Jan-J
uary. Since that time, employment
has been slowly increasing and the
situation is much better today than
it that time.
"Three, nation-wide response to
,he request for increased construc-
tion and improvement work by
public authorities, railroads, utili-
ities, and industries is having a
most material effect. Construction
:ontract in these categories in Jan-
aary and February were from 40 to!
15 per cent higher than ever
known in those Ynonths. The total
construction work for 1930 seems'
assured to be larger than even 1929.
"Four, the undertaking to main-
Lain wages has been held.i
"Five, the amount of unemploy-
ment is, in proportion to the num-
ber of workers, considerably less
than one-half (probably only one-4
third) of that which resulted fromI
the crashes of 1907-08, and 1920- ,
22, at this period of the situation."

'O .NG PRISON TERMI
Attorney-General at Washington
Approves of Parole for Old
Doctor 4 nd Adventurer.
(By Associated Press)
LEAVENWORTH, Kan.; Mar. 7.-
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, whose varie-
gated career df physician, explorer,
author, lecturer, and oil promoter,
was interrupted by a fourteen-year
sentence to Leavenworth Federal
prison is prepared to face the
world again at the age of 65.
A recommended parole was ap-
proved today by the Attorney gen-
eral at Washington. As soon as it
is received here, probably late to-
morrow or Sunday, the man who
won instant fame and later con-
demnation by his announced dis-
covery of the North Pole in 1908,
will be released.
Convicted of using the mails to
defraud in connection with an oil
promotion scheme at Fort Worth,
Teias, Dr. Cook has served nearly
five years of his sentence. He also
served 14 months in jail while
waiting for a decision on appeal.
In the early part of his term,
Dr. Cook assisted in the prison
hospital where his medical knowl-'
edge supplemented that of the reg-
ular prison physician. Later he
organized a night school. Releas-
ed prisoners have told of the scope
of his work and of the good influ-
ence exerted over his associates.
Two months ago, when a parole
board recommended that he bye re-
leased he said he never had been
accused of violating a prison rule.
His present mood probably is re-
flected by an editorial which he
wrote for the March issue of the
"New Era," a prison publication, of
which he has been editor.
"A very good example to prove
the warden's contention that dili-
gence and respectful individual at-
tentionA will go far, to improve pris-
on morals," the editorial stated, "is
the response of good cheer which
now prevails as a reaction to con-
sideration of the last parole board."

Prof. Earl V. Moore, director of
the School of Music, is in charge
of working out the programs, de-
tails of which are to be announced
later, and of directing the large ar-
ray of talent secured into the com-
plete unit which is one of the out-
standing musical events of the
country.

Boy to Make Mid-West Debut
Engagement of Ruggiero Ricci,
the San Francisco wonder child of
nine years, involved elaborate ne-
gotiations with parents, teachers,
and even the state department of
labor and industry. The coming of
this prodigy, rich in technical en-
dowment attested faithfully to by
honest critics at his Orchestra Hall
debut, tossing off the pyrotechnics
of the Paganini Concerto side by
side with the lovely animation of
Mozart's A major concerto in one

Moore Will Discuss
European Bell Music
Prof. Earl V. Moore of the School
of Music will speak on "Bell Music
in England and the Low Coun-
tries of Europe" Sunday, parch 9,
at 6:00 p. n'm., in Wesley Iall.
According to Dr. Moore this lec-
ture will be of particular interest
to the student of the University
and to the alumni who plan to build
a carillon on the campus in memory
of the late President Marion LeRoy
Burton. He will point out the part
played by the bell in the culture
of England, France, Belgium, and
Holland. He also stated that the
student should be proud of the
above proposal as there are very
few carillons located in America.
