Carl Storck wasnt tough enough to make the job permanent. Until circumstances forced him to resign if he didnt want to get thrown out, Storck lacked the assertiveness needed to bring dignity to his office and prestige to himself.

Coach Carl Olson will pick the first score of the game. He broke members of the five University of Pittsburgh teams which will compete in the forty-seventh annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, which opens two weeks from today in Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Although spring vacation Is now going on at Pitt, most of Olson's top performers have remained on the campus to continue preparations for the outdoor season which opens against Ohio State, in the Stadium, a week from tomorrow afternoon. Olson expects to enter teams in the 440, 880. mile, sprint medley and shuttle hurdle events at Penn, in addition to Individuals In the 100-yard dash, high hurdles, pole vault, high Jump and broad Jump.

The shuttle hurdle relay team appears set with the quartet to be composed of Joe Newman, Henry Sulkowski, Harry Clark and BUI Cooper.

The Panther relay teams, over the past four years, hold the best record among the colleges and universities.

Bob Wright, who tied the world record in the hurdles in the Butler Relays and best Fred Wolcott in a special race in the Chicago Relays, is the ace member of the Buckeye squad. HU low hurdle race with 8tickel should prove one of the features of the meet.

The fast and powerful Boston Bruins, champions of the National Hockey League, were confident today that the 1941 Stanley Cup playoffs will be finished by tomorrow night.

They needed little evidence In support of their case beyond their 4-2 wlctory last night over the scrappy Detroit Red Wings, who matched them blow for blow for one period and then wilted before their attack. With three straight victories al ready to their credit, the Bruins need only tomorrows game to gain possession of the cup. In 12 consecutive start on Detroit Ice since April, 1940, the Bruins never have been defeated. kkeye Player Dies, Hit By Pitched Bal are I was a beaut, but it was too late. He was already ex-president Some day it will behoove layden to tell off the tycoons or forever hold hia peace.

Storck had a chance last fall and made a weak decision, or virtually no decision at all. That was when the race tor the Eastern division championship was hot and the Brooklyn Dodgers had a chance to tie tor it if the Washington Redskins were beaten the following Sunday. The world title waa ultimately Involved, yet Storck countenanced a last-minute schedule switch that all but guaranteed the Redskins the decisive victory. He permitted the Philadelphia Eagles to move their washed-out game with the Pittsburgh Steelers up to Thanksgiving day, only 72 hours before facing Washington. There were phone calls, protests and name-calling, but eventually George Preston Marshall, of Washington, won the contest.

He Is very lupky that wsy. Public Opinion Layden Battle Weapon In time we'll see whether Layden Is strong enough to rise above his position 'Storck never did. Storck looked upon the Job as a hobby and an honor, to be taken passively; he was an executive with a General Motors subsidiary In Dayton. and ftp patently preferred to savs his fighting for the home front. Layden has sn advantage going into the Job.

He has personal prestige that will stand him In good stead. If It comes to showdown before the publlo as between himself and an owner, the chances are tha publlo will be less auspicious of Layden be cause he doesn't stand to gain anything by making issues. It strikes ms that the N. F. L.

has come long way In the past three years, swapping a $180,000 club for a $160,000 club, and ex changing a executive for a $20,000 head man. I re call sitting In at a conference in the Schenley Hotel in Pittsburgh three winters back when two owners were abashed at having to name a trading price. Art Rooney needed ready wampum fas who-doesn and he was giving Scrapper Farrell to Dan Topping In exchange for some crinkly. Topping had some. Well bow much do you want?" Topping asked, with a nervous, embsrrassed smile.

"You name the price," Rooney eountered, "No, you! Youre the one whos selling him," said Topping. "I dont know what to ask, Rooney confessed. "I never sold A player before," They finally closed the deal, with tha help of a coin, for $1,000 I cash and the rights to Pittsburgh's second choice In the post-I aeasoa draft of college players. Now Rooney has caught the knack and sells players wholesale with remarkable adroitness, 1 'Jlooney Puts on Bankroll Juggling Act Did you notice what he did in the double-reverse trade wltK Alexis Thompson? He sold the Pittsburgh Bteeler for $180,000, He took $80,000 of that sum and bought a half interest In the Philadelphia Eagles; and, according to my elementary arithmetic, that established the Eagles as a $160,000 club. He then arranged a swap, with Thompson taking the Steelers to Philadelphia, and himself, with Co-owner Bert Bell, taking the Eagles to Pittsburgh.

So Rooney retains a half Interest In the Pittsburgh franchise, plus $100,000, which la what be got for the ether half. Bell, the co-owner, got only $80,000 for his 60 per cent. Art always was a smart man at the races. I can assure you that Thompson Is a bright young fellow, too, and probably knows very definitely what he is doing. His squad had a pretty good nucleus Merlyn Condit, Billy Patterson, Tommy Thompson and a few others that are probably adequate explanation for the difference In price between the clubs.

The Eagles had Davey OBrien. Their main resource now belongs to J. Edgar Hoover. i A winner in Pittsburgh undoubtedly would sardine the customers, but Philadelphia an enigma. It.

will turn out 40,000 strong for the Penn Relays, and wont come out 400 weak for the national championships in track. It will buy 60,000 tickets for each of seven Pennsylvania home football games before the season starts, putting $350,000 on the line for the privilege, but it will Ignore Temple, Villanova and the Eagles till tha day of the contest, and usually till after the game. Phillips Brotherly Love for Winners The Phillies and Athletics arent a fair test, at the moment. The experts say that the Phillies couldnt even be called a good Double-A club this year, and not much can be expected from the As. The Phils drew only 285 000 and the A'S 432,000 last year.

Under the circumstances of 1940, that wasnt as bad as it might have been. A few years ago, the Yankees went down there and drew some 75.000 customers In three days. They lost on Friday and Saturday, and it was atlU early enough in the season to suspect that the Athletics might go somewhere. Saturday night Joe McCarthy remarked that the Athletics didnt worry him at all. Ho was concerned only about the Red Box and Detroit at the time.

But the local citizenry didnt look that far ahead. They Jammed the ballyard for a doubleheader the next day. To all appearances, the City of Brotherly Love is just like its neighbor. It reserves its Brotherly Love for a winner, i A lOllCS Edgar Jones, who was credited with the vie tories the Pitt Panthers scored over Richmond and North Carolina on the Southern trip concluded yesterday. Besides pitching winning ball, he starred at the plate.

When not hurling Jones usually is found playing right field. Pitts scheduled game with Duke yesterday was rained out. Webb. body Pieo, of Eri. wlmniin9.

The chances are it Includes ft few substantial loans tojflght managers which dont come hack unless Mike uses their fighters. Perhaps It might mean ft few blocks of tickets to the manager of ft fighter on the card These tickets have ft wsy of not being paid for.

Down In Miami Jacobs got taste of "this and that. He was invited to promote a fight and was assured that he would havs to give out only 60 passes. After he spent money on the preliminary promotion and couldnt back out without a loss, the boys who asked him down gave him another invitation. This time Jt was to produce 1,000 passes. Jacobs had to come through or run the risk of having the fight stopped.

"Spend a buck to make a buck is the Jacobs slogan. He likes to maneuver, too, as he calls it. If you are not quite sure what ha means by "maneuver read from left to right the names of Louis' opponents since Joe won the title. Now add up the cash gates at these fights.

He likes to launch the main Idea with a convoy of a dozen others.

Somewhere behind the tonsils he breaks up the formation and shoots them out on their own. The result is practically double talk. "It costs a terrible lot to promote fights, he said, "The publlo dont know bow much. It easy can be ft headache. If Jacobs has a headache he Is concealing It bravely.
