D. {. Symphony Drive
In Serious Danger
Chairman Warns
Only $72,2s0 Obtoined
Of $4,000 Needed;
Report Due Tomorrow

E. r. Finkenstaedt. chairman of
the National Symphony Orchestra S
drive to raise S114,000 as an annual
sustaining fund for its 1942-43 sea-
son, said yesterday the campaign
'is in serious danger"
The chairman explained that he
based his alarm on the realization
that only $76,230 of the desired sum
has been obtained to date, leaving
S37,720 to be raised before next re-
ports are given at luncheon meet
ing at the Mayfower Hotel at 1890
pm. tomorrow. The drive already
has been extended 10 days.
THE Washington public either
does not realize that the National
Symptoms sustaining fund drive
is in serious danger of falling short
of its goal, or it does not appreciate
the fact that the continuance of the
orchestra's activities depends en-
tirely on the outcome of the cam
paign," he said "This applies not
only to the orchestra's winter sea-
son in Constitution Hall, but equally
to the series of Sunset Symphonies
at the Potomac Water Gate, which
to many are most important part
of Washingtons summer life"
Mr.. Finkenstaedt said there was
no cause for optimism concerning
tomorrow's meeting. In the last
week, he reported, only $4O4O has
been added to the total.
This is not encouraging, he said,
"and I can only say that unless
there is an immediate and over
whelming indication of the public's
interest in the National Symphony's
continuing, its future appears to
be in grave danger"

Breadon Tn No Hurry
 To Replace Hickey

St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 30. (UP)-Sain Breadon, president of the St. Louis Cardinals said today he was "in no hurry" to select Q successor to Branch Hickey, who designed as general manager to become presi- dent of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 T have no one in mind to suc- ceed Hickey" Breadon said. "That post probably will be divided among several members of our organiza- tion. Anyway, you can rest assured that will not appoint an outsider"
 Among those prominently men. toned for the position were William Walsingham, Jr., Breadon's nephew, who is a Cardinal vice-president; Eddie Dyer, manager of the Colum- bus, O., farm club, and Joe MatheS, chief scout.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 29 AS the Yale football team turned in its first Ivy league victory in two years last Saturday, upsetting Dartmouth 17-7, a large share of the credit fell to young Stan Weiner, freshman halfback who had electrified the crowd with his sensational running.
 Stanley Frank Weiner is resident of West Hartford, Conn, and former star quarterback on the West Hartford High school football team. Weiner, who is IS, stands 5 feet Il inches and weighs 175, also plays on the West Hartford basket ball and baseball teams. Stan was quite a third baseman in his high school days, playing on the Ameri- can Leagion nine that copped the the Connecticut State League Cham pionship, and led West Hartford through a 21 game winning streak. Weiner's longest run on a football field was an 81 yard dash against Middletown last fall that enabled West Hartford to cop the c. c. I. L. championship. Weiner was a blocking back in high school but at Yale cavorts from the righ half back slot.
 New Scoring Punch
 Entering Yale last July, Weiner played on the freshman team through most of the summer and early fall, until promoted along with Bob Pickett to Coach Howie Odelrs varsiay on October IS, week before the Dartmouth game. Odenn had been seeking a greater scoring punch along the ground and found his man in Weiner. Stan, not speedy run ner, is very elusive with a net fake that had the India tacklers gaping last Saturday. AS backfleld coach Judd Timm put it, We don't how he gets there, but he does, and that's what counts"
 Stan, whose uncle Edward Sus- man went to Yale in 1926 and played on the basketball team, is a self supporting student, and hsa driven a truck during past summers to help pay his way through college. The truck driving influence seems to have made a deep impression on Stan Weiner's football, judging from the way he drives through and around would-be tacklers.
 Robert Ames Pickett is his name, Cooperstown. N. r.. his home Gov ernor Drummer Academy his prep school. Who is he? He is the nine teen year old, six foot one. 205 pound newly found hard-hitting fullback on Coach Howie Odell's Yale foot ball team.
 Pickett. Q freshman, comes from a long line of Eli graduates. His grandfather, Edward Ames. c niem- Der Of the class Of 1889. was a col. laboratorn in the writing of Yale's famous Brek-ek-ek-ex cheer. Bob's father graduated from Yale in 1913 while his brother Herbert was a member of the class 0f 1889, and brother Larry. Intercollegiate wrest- ling champion, a member of i94i.
 Bob Pickett has not confined hIs athletic prowess to the football field. He was heavyweight wrestling champion of Maryland for three years, and runner up in the Ta- tlonai intersehoiastic meet held at Lehigh for the past two years. At Governor Drummer, Pickett played first base on the baseball team, fln- Ishing up with a 345 batting aver- age. Bob explained the football team ln his senior year after scoring el out Of 70 points as c junior.
 During the summers. Pickett. with his father and brother Larry. runs Hyde Bay, a boys camp at Cooper town.

 United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, Oct. 30-(UP)-Branch Rickey, new president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, probably will name Ray Blades as 1943 manager, his first big move in a plan of strategy designed ot re- build his new charges into stream lined 1943 contender.
 It might be just coincidental, but Rickey's, quit his post as coach Blades, close friend and pupil of with the Cincinnati Reds just as the former Cardinlas' boss was chosen to succeed Larry MacPhail, former Dodgers executive, now a lieutenant colonel in the Army. Rickey takes over at Brooklyn off, cialy November l under @ five-year contract at reported salary of $50,000 and a bonus agreement, raising the total to $80,000.
 His first chore as the one-man Brooklyn brain-trust vii be to at- tend the major league draft meet ing in Chicago Monday but his most pressing task vii be the choice of 8 new manager.
 Hickey said that the possible re- turn of Leo Durocher, current pilot, to his regular position had not been forgotten.
 However, I am under the impress sion," Hickey said, "that Durocher plans to enter some branch of the services shortly but I will not know definitely until l return to St. Louis"
 Draft Important
 Rickey admitted that the draft status of the new manager would be an important factor because 1t was his belief that all men cur- rently in 3A face induction sooner or later
 The list of candidates for man. ager of the Dodgers also includes Fred Fitzsimmons, Chuck Dressen, Burt Shotton, Billy Herman and Bill Meyer but Blades name heads all the rest for several good reasons.
 He has bene thoroughly schooled in the Hickey method of managing while in charge of the Cardinals farm teams at Columbus, O., and Rochester, N. Y. He managed the Cards from November, 1888. to July, 1940, and as a player was strictly q product of the St. Louis chain system, performing with four clubs in that setup. He played the out field for 10 years with the Cardinals and took part in the 1880 and 1881 world series as a member of the Red Birds.
 Too Noisy
 Durocher might not make c smooth cog in the Rickey scheme since Leo the Lip is a counter part of the boisterous MacPhail and the former Cardinals chief is the direct antithesis of laughing Larry.
 Blades record as manager of the Cardinals-they finished second in 1889 mad third the following year -is not imposing but he is a capa- ble manager. An injury cut short his major league playing career and after a few seasons of minor league play he retired. Tn 1883. he guided Columbus to its first pen- nant in 26 years. He piloted Rochester in 1936-37-38 and aftre his brief tenure with the Cards. managed New Orleans in 1941.

CARLO BOXES WAY TO CERTAIN WIN OVER GARCIA
Ring Ability of Local Boy Surprises Fans; Collins
 Stops Lewis in End
In This Corner
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Exhibiting a knoWeldge Of boxing that his most ardent admirers were surprised to see he possessed, Tommy Ciarlo, erstwhile slugg:r and body-puncher, boxed his way to an easy eight round decision over the tough and hard-hitting Ruby Garcia of Puerto Rico, who only last Monday night met Lulu Con- stantino in Providence and before that, stopped Willie Roach in this city two weeks ago.
 From the first minute of the first round, Ciarlo, handled by Doc Moore and Dave Karess we told to box the tough aggressive, hard-hit- ing Puerto Rican and he followed orders so we'll that he not only scor3d continuity with left jab, hook and right cross, but ducked punch after punch, tossed by Garcia, who, as the bout went on, seemed to realize he was being steadily outpointed, mad tried to land a knockout wallop, or at least put Ciarlo on the floor However, Tommy, who tired bit in the last three rounds after being continu- ously on the move since the first bell counter-punched Garcia's best efforts, and in the opinion of the referee, won going away. The of- ficial score of Referee John Cluney was Ciarlo, 40, Garcia, 30, with the Waterbury boy winning seven of the eight rounds. Ciarlo scaled l35; Garcia, l33.
 Collins Scores TKO
 ----cn: Collins, the local colored welterweight. who always and ever gives the customers "a tun for their money" becamn a knockout puncher, at the expense of Mike Lewis of New York, good fighter who recently decisivly defeated Dse Hogan at New Haven. Best of all, it took Long Tom less than two rounds to accomplish his purpose: as he stung Lewis with right hand smashe to the chin, after the bell ap:d Lewis from further punish- ment after the second knockdown. Tn the second, Lewis came out of his corner, not fully recovered from his first round pasting. was dropped with a left hook. and then led to his corner by the psferee-out on his feet. Collins weighed i43, Lewii l46.
 HaFd-Earned Win
 Joey Wasniek Of New Haven had a big lead going Into the fourth and last round against Pete Freeman Of Wolcott. then became sick in his corner. but came out for the fourth and last round, was knocked down, but got ID and fought his way to a decision that was richly earned. as he hit Freeman almost at will dur ing hle firkt three rounds, though taking a beating in the final ses- sion. Herb Freeman, q brother Of Pete, deeisIoned Joe Thomas Of Waterbury in another four round bout.
