Roy Harney, the new general manager of the Pirates, was Bill Coram, the sports writer. They look the same right down to the way they pull down the snap brims of their hats. Made on Passes By JACK HENRY Bonaparte had his Waterloo, Montcalm his Quebec and for Marquette the villain in the piece always has been Pittsburgh.

This was proved again yesterday in the Stadium when Wes Feslcr's Pitt Panthers squeezed past Frank Murray's Hilltoppers, 7-6, before a crowd of 18,000. 1 Harney, fresh from Having resigned as president of the Amen-can Association to take the job here with Frank McKinney, has taken over his desk and is getting ready for the face-lifting job that is to be given both the club and Forbes Field.

"We can't wait until the new year rolls around to do all of this overhauling," Harney said the other day. "The workmen will get on the job as soon as we close the gates for the season. And then everything will depend upon the speed with which we get the necessary materials." Club Also to fie Rebuilt What about the ball club? Well, that will come along, too. Don't expect too much the first year, but in two or three years it'll be a case of a contender or bust. "Don't forget," said the new major domo of the front office, "that the new owners are more Interested than the most rabid fans In having: a winner.

They didn't come here just to talk about the weather. A winner means a profit, and a loser Is something business men don't go shopping: around to buy. "As I see It, we're just a year behind the other clubs In getting started on a rebuilding: program so far as the team Is concerned, but we hope to catch up. This is the situation: During the war, minor league baseball for the most part shut up shop and the farm system except In the upper brackets went out the window. Also, the younger players the prospects were In the services and what few minor leagues were operating were getting along on older men and 4-Fs, the same as the majors.

"Last year, with the war out of the way, the clubs began to rebuild their minor league networks and to plant the seeds. Branch Rickey In Brooklyn Is out In front of the Held and already has some fine players coming up for next year. Most of us are a year or two away. In Pittsburgh we're going to have to start all over, for there Is little coming up from the farms of last year. However, we've made new contacts and we're going to run our own minor league clubs and develop talent.

That's the only way you can guarantee a steady flow of players. Grow them and develop them yourself. No one is going to sell you a good ball player for cash." Runs 103 Yards to Score ATLANTA, Oct. Powell, crack end for the Florida A. and M.

Marquette Invaded Pittsburgh, each time to meet Duquesne, and returned home sadder and wiser. Pitt slipped into the Duquesne role in fine style, thereby elevating its season record to a .500 pitch, two victories and a tie offsetting two defeats. The victory was not accom plished, however, without "Pitt partisans running a high temperature.

The Panthers had all the better of the overall statis tics, but six fumbles were costly and at intermission Marquette held the upper hand at 6-0. PITT BOARS BACK Once again Fesler's proteges proved they can deliver in a tight spot by roaring back In the third quarter to deadlock the game at 6-6. Bimbo Cecconi's trusty toe then was equal to the occasion, accounting for the decisive point. Throughout the balance pf play Marquette threatened often enough to force the crowd to divide its attention between the game and the clock. The much-debated Pitt 5-4-2 defense came through nobly against Marquette's much heralded air attack.

The visitors entered the game as the fifth most effective passing team in the nation and in' Rifling Rudy Royten had a lad whose individual ranking was right behind Auburn's Tidwell, the country's top sharpshooter. Marquette tried 20 passes and completed only -five with the alert Panthers up five interceptions. Royten and Billy Polczynski, who ranked fourteenth in the country in passing prior to the game, both came out of the scrap with damaged percentages. Pitt tried 16 passes and completed five to provide Marquette with a dose of its own medicine. Incidentally, both teams account ed for their touchdowns through the air lanes, Carl Schuette passing to Bob O'Hagan for Marquette's tally In the second quarter and Carl DePasaua Ditchine to Leo Skladany for the equalizer in the third period.

PITT SHQWS EDGE In net yards gained, Pitt showed its superiority with 413 against 235 and chalked up 10 first downs to seveni Pitt landed lnfa hole In the opening minutes when Bill Ahra ham's fumble was recovered by Leo Schultz on the Pitt 24. The danger passed three plays later when Clipper Clougherty intercepted Royten's pass on the Pitt six-yara line. iess than a minute elapsed when Bobby Teitt fumbled going into the line and George Ruetz recovered for Marquette on the rat 20. on fourth down polczynski arched a long pass in tended for Ray Kuffel. but Bill Bruno saved the day by batting aown tne ban on the eoal line.

Midway in the first period Pitt received a break when Johnny Kosh and Bernle Barkouskie blocked Doug Gerber's kick on the Marquette 31, the Panther offense stalled. Early in the second quarter Pitt threatened when Jack Smodic, breaking Into action for the first time this season, passed to Cecconl for a first down on the Marquette 20. Running plays failed and the visitors took over on their 13. CECCONI FUMBLES Eight' plays later Schuette punted to Cecconl, who fumbled and Kuffel recovered on the Marquette 3L From here the Murray tribe cut loose, Royten swinging around right end to his 44 and then passing to Larry Plate to move the sticks to the Pitt 46. Royten's ensuing pass misfired, but Schuette went to the air and tossed to O'Hagan, who caught the ball on the Pitt 10 and went over unmolested for touchdown.

Gallo'i kick for the extra point was wide. Pitt fans kept their hopes alive at the outset of the third quarter when DePasqua intercepted one of Schuette'a flings on the Pitt 21 and Bobby Lee, returning to the lineup for the first time since (Continued on Page 8) Saa-Trletrapr Photos by Kdwla Morgan. it was bis" running and passing along with Bobby Lee's that sparked the team to come from behind and win in the second half of a spectacular aerial battle. Here he's shown being stopped after a gain. sMODic Smodic, halfback of the Pitt Panthers, broke into the Pitt lineup for the first time this season in yesterday's game and here from the Braves as manager for next season? "Well," said Harney, "I've heard it said that we gave up too much for Herman.

However, he's the man we wanted, and. sometimes you have to pay a high price for what you want when you want It, "We're not going into any makeshift arrangement for a year or two to make a quick killing. It we were, we probably would have picked a seasoned manager. We're aiming to stay In bust-, ness for a while and we want to build for permanence, and when you look for the long haul you take a young man and grow with him, not an old man who Is heading up a dead end We think that Herman, with at least a few years of playing left In his system, will be a good fighting leader who can set the ex- ample on the field for the other players. We know he's a smart baseball man and he happens to be our type.

"I haven't heard any criticism of the selection of Herman, only about what we had to give up to get him. Well, It's the old story about the impossibility of devouring your spongecake and still having It in a fancy box on the buffet." Crosby to Payr Active Role I asked Harney if he had caught the radio show last week In which Bing Crosby, one of the new owners of the Pirates, and Bob Hope, who has a piece of the Cleveland Indians, kidded the pants off each other about their baseball purchases, and he said he missed it but had heard a lot of talk about It, and that the fans appeared to have enjoyed the airy persiflage. "He may kid about his club on the air," said Harney, "but don't think for a minute that Blng isn't serious about having a winning team that he can stick out his cheat and brag about. He'd give a pretty penny to put Hope and his club In their place, which Is any place in the standing behind the Pirates. "Did you hear what he did when Mr.

McKinney went out to Hollywood to talk to him about buying into the syndicate that 1 took over the Pirates? Mr. McKinney had a lot of sheets of paper containing financial statements, records of attendance and Grand Comeback! Vm. L.T, lT, I.O. V. K.O.

The Bells of St. Mary's tolled a requiem for Fordham by a record 33-to-2 score today as a partisan crowd of 30,798 alternately wailed like banshees or glowed in reluctant approval of Herman Wedemeyer, the Gaels' gift to All-American play. I George Guerre, 160-pound reserve halfback from Flint, was the hero of the Spartans' thrilling triumph over the pre viously undefeated Lions. Guerre raced 52 yards for the visitors' first touchdown and sparked two other Michigan State drives of 76 and 66 yards. The second and third Spartan touchdowns were made by Steve Sleradski, pile-driving fullback from Muskegon, Mich.

Penn State tallied twice in the second quarter to take a half- time lead of 14 to 0. Elwood Petchel recovered Russ Reader's fumble on the Spartan 20, and, after losing two yards, he passed to Wallace Triplett of Phlladel- phia for a touchdown. Then the Lions drove 74 yards and sent Bobby over from the one. Ed Czekaj kicked both extra points. The visitors, driving for their winning score, were almost stymied on the Nittany 39.

It was fourth down and 21 to go when Horace Smith, freshman reserve halfback, raced around the Penn State right end for 29 yards. Sleradski then plunged to the one and over the goal line on the next play. The Spartans gave Penn State an intentional automatic safety in the closing minutes when Center Dan Kelly passed the ball out of the end zone. The lineuo: Poa Penn Stale. Michigan State.
