six straight victories, will get an
other crack at Penn next Wednes-
day on the Quakers Field. They

Thursday and then face their
cross-town rival, Maryland, a week
from tomorrow at College Park.
Coach Joe Judge squirmed in
anguish as his players put on their
worst performance yesterday
against a team he felt they should
have beaten with comparative ease.
IL Men Left on Base.
Besides leaving IL men on base,
the Hoyas were inept in the field.
They committed four errors, three
by Hal Simon, who until yesterday
had been handling the shortstop
job more than adequately.
Judge took the loss philosophi-
,cally. THE pressure was on" he
said. "I trust that type of play
ing is out of their system now.
Maybe they'll settle down and
start another string"
Penn won with four-run up
rising in the eighth inning, but
the Hoyas almost pulled it out of
the fire, falling Just one run short
in their half of the same inning.

Ball Theft Gives AII-Stars
Third Win Over 'Troifers
BY the Asseeiated Pres.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 12.-
Indiana Bill Garrett stole the
basketball from a Harlem Globe
trotters' ace and sparked the Col
lege All-Stars to a 1886 victory
last night.
1t was the Stars third win
against seven losses in the 49,
game tour. They play in Salt
Lake City tonight.
With the Trotters apparently
heading toward victory No. 8,
Marques Haynes went into his
crowd-pleasing dribble while
kneeling. Garrett stole the ball
sped down court and scored.
That pulled the Stars within
one point of tie and they went
on to take 10-point lead. Har-
lem cut it to 1888 at the half
and knotted it Stall once, but
couldn't match the collegians

Challenger II led the sire list
in 1914, 1945 and 1916. Gallorette
became the worlds leading money
winning mare with earnings of
S445, ,535 and was acclaimed handi-
cap champion of her sex. Brann

for $250,000. The same year he
sold Gallorette to Mrs. Marie
Moore OF The Plains. Va, for an
undisclosed sum.
Trained first by Louis Schaefer
and later by Don Cameron and
Ed Christmas. Challedon won 90
races and earned $334,660 in
purses. Among his victories were
three Futurities-the Maryland,
New England and Pimlico-the
Arlington Classic. Hawthorne Gold

Opposed Receiving Barns.
Brann's opposition to the re-
leelving barn, installed at all Mary
land tracks to forestall doping
horses, brought him into the head
lines again in 1916. He bitterly
denounced George P. Mahoney,
then chairman of the Maryland
Racing Commission, who thought
of the idea, and vowed never
again to race on Maryland tracks
until it was removed. Brann re-
Tented, however. and his colors
again became a familiar sight on
Old Line tracks.
Brann maintained the Glade
Valley farm near Frederick, Md,
following the dissolution of his
early partnership with Castle. It
was one of the States outstand-
ing breeding farms.
Brann is survived by his widow
and two children. Bill, jr., who
operates a ranch in Arizona, and
daughter, Mrs. Allan J. Mickle of

Special Dispot.h 10 The Star

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla, April
12.-William Leavitt Brann, 70,
who died here yesterday after an
illness of several months, achieved
turf success after retiring from an
even more prosperous advertising
career. but passed on without
realizing his great ambition, to
win the Kentucky Derby.
A native of Southern Indiana
who went to New York City as
a small boy. Brann came closest
to Derby victory in 1889 when
Challedon finished second to
Johnstown, beaten by lengths
He obtained some satisfaction
when Challedon, hailed in some
quarters as the greatest race
horse ever bred in Maryland, wor
the Preakness and the Pimlicc
Special. Challedon repeated his
Special victory in 1910, when he
was Americas handicap cham
pion. but a Derby victory would
have been more satisfying to his
owner.
One of Maryland's outstanding
breeders, Brann devoted all of his
time to breeding and racing after
retiring from business in 1928. He
began in advertising and promo
ton and eventually conducted his
own agency. He handled the
eastern advertising of Mont
gomery Wards mail-order busi-
ness and is credited with originat-
ing the catalog published by that
firm.
Began Racing in 1880.
Brann entered racing in 1880 ir
partnership with his brother in
law, Robert S. Castle, under the
name of Branncastle Stable
Royal Roberts was their trainer
and the first year the stable wor
10 races and $13.765.
This association lasted until
1898. when Brann began racing
under his own colors, "red, yellow
blocks, red sleeves and cap" The
following year Castle retired com.
pletely from the sport.
Probably the most important o.
Brann's achievements in the tur
world was his purchase of Chal.

Big Seven LiberaIizes
Scholarship Policy

KANSAS CITY, March 3.-The
Big Seven Conference today
adopted a scholarship plan for it's
athletes. The plan is similar to
those in the Southeastern and
Southwestern Conferences. Also
freshmen were declared eligible
Tor varsity competition next year
if the national emergency con-
tinues.
Reaves Peters, executive secre-
tary of the conference, said that
the new plan for aid to athletes,
which becomes effective irnmedi-
ately, merely sets a ''lilnit" on
what can be done for it's athletes.
He said that the schools were not
necessarily expected to take full
advantage of the limitations.
Under the new rule, any and all
contributions from alumni and
other sources must be admins
tered by the schools involved. This
