Carl H. Storck (born November 14, 1892 – March 13, 1950)[1] was a co-founder of the National Football League (NFL), as well as the founding owner of the Dayton Triangles.

[2] He lived in that city throughout his life, attending Stivers High School, where he was a three sport athlete — a football halfback, basketball guard, and a sprinter and shot-putter on the track and field squad.

[5] While successful on the court, the team was plagued by poor attendance, however, resulting in an abrupt shutting down of home games and completion of a truncated schedule on the road.

[6] Corinne Griffith, wife of Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, recalled this process in her 1947 memoir: "A big name was desired by all.

"[6] Former Notre Dame great Elmer Layden, an undersized fullback who gained fame as a member of Knute Rockne's legendary "Four Horsemen" backfield of 1924, was decided upon.

[6] A lucrative five-year contract was bestowed upon Layden to induce him to leave his comfortable position as head coach and athletic director of Notre Dame.

[8][9] Storck worked full-time as a foreman in the Inspection and Packing Department of the National Cash Register Company.

[10] In 1939, Storck served as president of the Dayton Wings baseball franchise of the Middle Atlantic League.
