NAMI STRICT Sports Editor ART ROONEY for remembering names and faces, but he's even better known for his slow horses and losing football teams. Goals to Go Rooney has two ambitions unfilledto win the Kentucky Derby and the National Football League championship. For years he has bred horses at his Shamrock Farm in Maryland and raced them under the white-and-green silks of his Shamrock Stable, but he's never really had the big horse. Among his promotions, he got Pittsburgh the heavyweight title bout in which Jersey Joe Walcott upset Ezzard Charles in 1551. By then he already had turned down New York sports writers, headed by Bill Coram, who wanted him to take over boxing operations at Maiison Square Garden after the death of Mike Jacobs.

Rejardt'd highly for his loyalty, principles and business ethics, Rooney also was approached by a group of fellow N.F.L. owners who wanted him to succeed the late Bert Bell as commissioner of the football league. Art once more was complimented, but again declined. "You might want me to render a decision," he said, smiling, "on a day when one Tennessee Runs Past Tulane KNOXVILLE, Nov. 10, (f) Tennessee's ground game was stronger than Tulane's passing today and the Volunteers beat the Green Waves, 28-16, for their first Southeastern Conference victory of the season.

Tennessee scored four times on running plays for its third triumph against four losses. Tulane got two touchdowns on passes in losing its eighth game of the year. The Vols' big weakness all fall has been pass defense and the Greenies exploited it fully. Quarterback Ted Miller, a constant threat, completed 22 of 33 tosses for 272 yards and two touchdowns. tuium ii 0 0 Traaeim 7 13 0 SiH TKNN Twialr, i ma (Nhuford kick).

10 (UPI) Fired-up Pennsylvania, stung by two quick Yale touchdowns, bounced back to stun the bulldogs, 15-12, today at Yale Bowl. Penn took the second half kickoff and marched 59 yards for a touchdown in 15 plays. Trailing 12-7 at halftime, Penn, on the strength of fullback Pete McCarthy's bull-like rushes, drove to the Yale four early in the third period. Penn tailback John Owens hit wingback Karl Kruse with a touchdown pass and Owens passed to end Ron AUshouse for the two-point conversion.

Seated quietly In a corner of the i teeth clamped tight on a dead cigar, will be Art Rooney, owner of the Steelers. As a sportsman, promoter and former politician, the 61-year-old Rooney is a real-life Frank Skeffington. Like the focal figure in "The Last Hurrah," Rooney is the last of his breed. In an era of syndicate operation in all sports, he not only owns a' team himself, but he's a sharp, astute business man who hasn't lost the common touch. Although in Allegheny County they take him pretty much for granted, which is really the way he wants it, Rooney is remarkable for having gone far without having forgotten old friends.

In fact, despite his obvious wealth, he still lives in the same house in the same boyhood neighborhood, now rundown, in which his father operated first a saloon, then a brewery. Rooney and his wife live there alone now, their five sons grown. Art is charitable, humble, quiet, a soft-spoken Irishman who attends more wakes than a guy running for office. He has a former politician's gift RIVE2 RCAtS garden level call CE 1-9440 i In rdtr by mall or I-7440 er fall frao Vao dtllvry (anetpf Switchboard! opt 1:30 a.m. SET A AHA 2 sets IJ Slight Irregularities will not impair the good looks or quality.

Steeler Background Rooney and his brother Dan, a Franciscan priest who was a missionary in China, then athletic director at' St. Bona-venture, were good athletes-good and rough. Art boxed as a middleweight and mixed it with his ring idol, Harry Greb. He attended Georgetown and Duquesne universities and had tryouts with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs as an outfielder.

He later managed Wheeling, W.Va., in the Mid-Atlantic League. In 1933, Rooney came up with $2500 for a Pittsburgh franchise In the struggling N.F.L. Today, though the Steelers have ball park problems and an attendance situation similar to St. Louis, the franchise would bring more than $1,000,000. Although the Steelers proved to be a shrewd investment eventually for a wise market speculator, they're really his joy and despair.

The closest they came to winning for him was in 1947 when they tied for the eastern division championship with Philadelphia, then lost to the Eagles in a special playoff. Shortly thereafter, coach Jock Sutherland, on a scouting trip, was found wandering In a field near Cairo, stricken with a fatal brain tumor. Since then, though always dangerous, always respects-' ble, the Steelers have cracked .500 Just three times. And the man who owns themhe looks like Mickey Rooney will continues to sit there, silently, rootln? for his team in black and gold now as he did for his favorites, lejendary Johnny (Blood) McNally, Bill Dudley and the Supreme Court justice with whom he corresponds, Byron (Whlzzer) White. Win or lose, the last of his breed gnaws his cigar impassively, pleasant and almost serene.

Art Rooney is too much an old pro to let anyone except his closest acquaintances know that defeat gnaws him the way he does that dead cigar. St. Louis Writers Dedicate Annual Dinner to Spink The St. Louis baseball writers' dinner Jan. 28 will be dedicated to ailing J.
