Pro Grid League May Reduce
To Eight Teams, Luyden Hints

the first merger in 1943 and had a
successful season. Last year the
Steelers joined forces with the Car
dinals and failed to win league
game.
Neither Pittsburgh nor Brooklyn
has a head coach at this writing and
candidates for the positions are not
numerous, as most potential nomi-
nees are serving with the armed
forces. Walt Kiesling, 1914 Steeler
coach, has joined Green Bays staff,
while Pete Cawthorn was dismissed
in midseason by Brooklyn.
While mergers will be an impor-
tant item on the agenda at New
York, the problem of settling on a
permanent league setup also may
be taken up at the same time. The
National League, preparing for stiff
competition from the newly organ
ized All-American Football Confer
ence, sooner or later must decide
whether it will increase its fran
chises to IL or cut down to 10.
Boston's admission last season gave
the league an odd figure of ii men,
bers, but the combine left it with
an even 10.
Vision Enough Players.
While mergers will be sought on
the plea of manpower shortages on
some clubs, the argument is certain
to draw the fire of those owners who
foresee the release of players from
the armed forces with the end of
hostilities in Europe. The latter be-
lieve there will be enough players to
give each team % players-the cur
tailed wartime limit
In view of the complicated player
draft and 1945 schedule-mapping
the outcome of the decision on pro-
posed mergers today shaped up as
one of the most important questions
| to be answered at the meeting.

Although some club proxies are
counting on a 10-team National
Football League this season, the first
hint that 1t may be an eight-team
wheel came yesterday from Commis-
sioner Elmer Layden at Chicago.
Layden told the Associated Press
mergers that would cut the league
from 10 to teams have been dis
cussed informally" and that he
thought they have merit" both in
the interest of the caliber of play
and as a means of cutting tranSpor-
tatAn. However, final decision is up
10 club owners, who will stage a re-
run of their annual pow-wow at
New York beginning Friday.
Potential combines, according to
Layden. are the two Chicago clubs,
Boston Brooklyn, and Pittsburg-
Philadelphia. If agreed on at the
league meeting the arrangement
would leave four Western clubs, the
champion Green Bay Packers, Chi
cago Cleveland and Detroit, and in
the East, Washington, New York,

Question of Keeping Alive.
''It is merely question of getting
along and keeping alive until such
time as we can return to normal
status" Layden was quoted.
However, any mergers must be
approved by the league and the
combines would be dissolved at the
end of the season. Some doubling up
unquestionably is necessary, but GER
tain club owners are opposed unal-
terably to mergers unless absolutely
necessary and the matter is certain
to provoke long, tiresome debate
when the meeting convenes this
week.

Not Too Old at 80
For Army or Ring
By the Associated Press.

When 38-year- -old Joe Marino
of Staten Island, N. Y, veteran
of 1923 fights, entered the recent
interallied boxing tournament at
K41orramshahr. Iran, the medical
officer told him he was too old to
fight.
Marino offered to bet any
amount he could lick the medical
officer or any heavyweight in the
tourney. That didn't work so Joe
went to the colonel in charge,
protesting: IF I'm too old to
fight in this tournament, I'm too

That did the trick and Joe
proved he was right by winning

Nelson's 65-276 Wins
Al Durham for 7th
Touring Triumph
By the Associeted Pres.

DURHAM. N. c., April BYRON
Nelson, the umbrella man from
Toledo, still is laying it away for a
rainy day.
The tall Texan pocketed 81 900 for
winning the Durham Open golf
tournament yesterday, running his
winnings for the year to $11 1886, his
tournament triumphs to three in a
row and his season record to seven
victories in 16 open meets.
Nelson, rated the strongest finish
er in the history of the game,
raped out an electrifying IS on the
final l8 holes over the lightning fast
greens at Hope Valley, a layout that
yielded only six subpar rounds in
the tournament.
That gave him a total of 276
four shots under par, five strokes
ahead of Toney Penna of Dayton,
Ohio, six ahead of Slim Jim Gauntt
of Ardmore, Okla, a newcomer to
the ranks of the touring profess
sionals, and nine ahead of Sammy
Byrd, the ex-Yankee outfielder who
had threatened to snap Nelson's
winning streak by pulling into the
lead at 54 holes.
Today as the touring caravan
headed for Atlanta and the iron
lung tournament next week end
Nelson, who has been in the money
in at least IS straight tournaments,
is seeking to clinch the winner title

could put in bid for the crown by
winning there, as he has captured
six titles since his discharge from
the Navy last fall.
Together. the two have copped 13

and neither took part in the Miami
Open last November. In addition
Nelson teamed with jug McSpaden
to capture the Miami four-ball a
