As Good As Won..
EIGHT or nine years ago, he has
forgotten just when, Phil Dia-
mond came down to the Field House
and announced to the irritation of
all that by his calculations, Indiana
would win the Big Ten indoor track
meet 28 to 27.
Such unmitigated brass was not
to be tolerated. There was a general
hubub over the statement of the
smiling, hatless German professor,
who has adopted the study of track
as a minor in the academic field.
An expert timer, a keen spectator,
a close friend of Coach Charley
Hoyt, Diamond had joined the track
entourage as a general handyman
and friend of the boys. But where
did he get this business about Michi-
gan losing the Conference title?
Michigan did not come in second in
Conference track meets. I
Well, they finally held the
meet and the results went some-
thing like this: Indiana, first,
with 27 15/16 points; Michigan,
second, with 27 points. Mr. Dia-
mond showed up at track prae-
tice the following Monday, sans
"I told you so" and with no vin-
dictiveness. But the boys, es-
pecially the lords of the press,
bladnt forgotten the cahmny
which had been heaped upon
this outspoken gentleman. He
immediately became honored as
a master prognosticator. Phil
Diamond had lost his amateur
standing.
His repute thus enhanced Diamond
continued to predict the outcome of
Conference track meets, still "just for
fun." But the press hadn't forgotten.
His dope sheets were picked up by
the national wire services and sent
to Conference points. Detroit papers
,clamored for his stuff. But fame did
not warp Diamond's capabilities. Since
his coup, which missed by 1/16 of a
point, he has continued to hit the
nail right on the head. Only once has
he missed his shot. That was in 1936
when Indiana won a smashing upset
over Michigan in the outdoors at
Columbus.
"Never figured it could hap-
pen," Phil sighs. "As for my fig-
ures for this year, they're very
conservative. Probably too con-
servative. Why even Charley Hoyt
has looked them over without
objecting too seriously. I "have
had to compile two sets of calu-
lations, one including Wes Allen
and the other excluding him. end
then, who can tell how high Bill
Watson will jump. Anyway after
the qualifying round Friday night,
I can tell you almost to the
point how they'll finish."
SUNDAY morning, according to Dia-
mond, you'll read the following
score in the papers. Michigan 39
(with Allen) or 36 (without); Wis-
consin 34 or 32 (again depending on
Mr. Allen; Indiana 19; Ohio State
14; Iowa 13%; Chicago 9 or 10; Illi-
nois, Northwestern, and Purdue 7;
and Minnesota 1.

Penn., was chosen manager of the
1939-40 cage squad last night. He
will succeed Bob Lindgren.
The alternate manager is Seymour
P. Ellman, '40, of Detroit.

Second Team Position
(Editor's Note: This team is a collab-
oration of two members of the sports
staff, Tom Phares and Herb Lev.)
Two of the Big Ten's brightest
cage stars fought off the attack of
a brilliant field this season and for
the second straight year win recog-
nition on The Daily All-Conference
team.
Lewis "Pick" Dehner, colorful Illi-
nois pivot man, and husky Ernie An-
des, Indiana's high scoring guard,
repeated their fine performances of
last year and take their places on
the honor role along side three first
team newcomers, two of whom hail
from Ohio State's championship
quintet.
Forward Jim Hull and guard Bob
Lynch are the Buckeye stalwad
and are joined by forward Ben
Stephens of Iowa. The team was
selected strictly according, to posi-
tion.
FORWARDS: Capt. Jim Hull of
Ohio set a blistering pace through-
out the campaign to beat out Pick
Dehner for top Conference scoring
honors with 169 points-a new Buck-
eye record. An inspiring floor lead-

er, Hull shoots early and often in his
unorthodox style which is all the
more valuable in that he doesn't need
to "get set" but takes a pass and
shoots all in the same motion.
"Blazing Ben" Stephens of Iowa
who was a second team choice last
year, again was mired with a poor
outfit but stepped into the spot-
light despite a two-game absence to
score 136 points for the season-a re-
markable record in view of Iowa's
last place finish.
Illinois' Captain-elect Bill Hapac
and Johnny Kundla of Minnesota
pressed Hull and Stephens all the
way.
CENTERS: This was a one-sided
battle as Pick Dehner of Illinois again
proved to be the class of the league.

side being taken care of by Harris,
the other by James.
Coming out in the final official
period, Point Edward put the pres-
sure on the Wolverines, but by play-
ing an excellent brand of defensive
hockey the local team was able to
hold the visiting team scoreless. A
few breaks up the ice by Cooke, Hill-
berg, and Chadwick, also failed to
bring the Wolverines a much needed
goal.
After Hillberg made his goal in the
overtime period Point Edward sent
all men down the ice but time and
Michigan's defense were working
against them.
Keen Chooses Seven Men
