Naturally we will have to stand pat right now because we have the Xew York Giants coming to town on Sunday and we can't do any experimenting against them." Before the new mentor picked up the reins, however, a deal had been made which sent Frank Souchak, former ail-American end from Pitt, to the Chicago Cards for Coley McDonough, a halfback who resides in North Braddock. The new Pirate was a schoolboy-star at Scott High, played college ball at North Carolina State and Dayton University, and has showed considerable promise in pro ranks. He tossed a pass to terminal Billy Smith which led directly to a touchdown for the Cards against Green Bay early in the season. When the Cards played here recently he showed flashes of brilliance against the Pirates. Fifth Corsair Coach.

Kiesling becomes the fifth Pirate coach in seven years of membership in the National League. Forrest (Jap) Douds, and Luby Di Meolo served a year each, Joe Bach lasted two campaigns and Blood was in his third term. The new mentor is 35 years of age and is married. He was born and raised in St. Paul and has been a lifelong resident of that city.

Both his parents are Germans. He started his gridiron career as a tackle at Cretin High school in St. Paul, playing four years.

He succeeds his bosom pal, Johnny Blood, who handed his resignation to President Art Rooney early yesterday-morning when the Pirate magnate returned to his downtown offices following a 32-0 shellacking at the hands of the Chicago Bears at Forbes Field. The exit of Blood made almost a clean sweep of major Pittsburgh sports leaders via the resignation route within the past year. Dr. Jock Sutherland at Pitt, Little Clipper Smith at Duquesne and Pie Traynor of the Pirate baseball club, all passed voluntarily from the local sports stage. The new skipper will make his head coaching debut tonight at 8 o'clock when the Pirates appear in a charity exhibition contest being staged by the McKeesport Lions at Cycler Park in the Tube 'City, with the semi-pro McKeesport Olympics as their opponents.

A stiff session is being mapped for today by Coach Bowser, who digested reports last night from the three scouts who kept tab on the Mountaineers in their lopsided victory over West Virginia Wesleyan last Saturday. The Pitt chieftain is eager to down the Morgantown invaders so that his proteges will come up to next week's major struggle with Duke University's Blue Devils undefeated. Duquesne's Dukes will conclude their hard work in preparation for the Waynesburg test of Friday night when they drill on the campus practice lot today. Carnegie Tech has decided to leave here on Thursday at midnight for Phila delphia and Saturday's game with Temple. The Plaid will make their headquarters at the Manufacturers Country Club.

Titt's Panthers arrived home from Seattle shortly after noon yesterday, their two big special planes, arriving at the County Airport after an emergency routing over Los Angeles, Albuquerque and Kansas City. Bad weather prevented a return over this northern route pursued on the westward trip. Chuckfull of confidence after their brilliant 27-6 victory over the Washington Huskies, the Blue and Gold went through a practice session late yesterday on the campus field. The boys are determined to take over West Virginia's Mountaineers in the annual battle in the Stadium on Satuday to prove that the unexpected triumph on the coast was not in the nature of a fluke. From Head Coach Charley Bowser down to the lowest scrub, the travelers loudly praised the trip through the skyways.

Thomas College in his home town, also as a tackle. It was in games with St. John's of Collegeville, that he first bumped into Johnny Blood and a lifelong friendship developed. Kiesling got his diploma in the spring of 1926 and moved right into the pro ranks. Blood had preceded him into the cash and carry circuit, joining Milwaukee the previous year.

Walt's first pro job was with Ernie Nevers Duluth Eskimos and Blood joined up as a teammate in the fall of 1926. riayed on Five Teams. The pair stayed with the Eskimos in 1927, then switched to Potts- ville in 192S. They parted com pany in 1929 as Kiesling donned the uniform of the Chicago Cards, a club he stuck with through 1933. Blood had gone to the Green Bay Packers.

1934 found Kiesling with the Chicago Bears but he rejoined Johnny with the Packers for the 1935 and '36 campaigns. When Art Rooney signed Blood in 1937, Kiesling came along as line coach and has been here since. Both were playing mentors for two seasons here but retired this autumn. Except for his first pro season at a tackle, Kiesling has played a guard position on all five National League teams with which he has been identified. In the off season the new Pirate boss is employed in the register of deeds office in St.

Paul. Six Stitches for Lou. The casualty list which awaited the new coach after the Bear battle included Lou Tomasetti, Byron Gentry, Sam Boyd and Swede Johnson. Tomasetti was most seriously hurt, getting a nasty cut near the cheek bone which required six stitches to close. The other three were badly shaken up with Boyd sporting a black eye for good measure.

Retiring Coach Blood took his passing from the ranks philosophically. Yesterday marked one full calendar year since the Pirates had won a game, their last triumph being on October 3, 1938, over the New York Giants in the Tolo Grounds. He felt that a change in managers might serve as a shot in the arm to the local club, which still has a mathematical chance for the eastern title. Blood said he intends remaining here for a few days and then will probably go to his home in New Richmond, Wis. He insisted that he is through with the game after a great playing career of 14 straight years on the big time but close friends who know his love of the sport predict he will be back on the firing line somewhere before long.
