Plans of the AnaIostans.
The Analostans have been prominent on
the river lately. Coach Plaisted has had
the time of his life going over the can
dtdates and giving them his views on how
to handle the sweep oar to get the best
results. Coach Plaisted's Intelligent meth
DDS have captvated the Analostan mem
bership to a man. He has plenty of good
material for his crews and II the clubs
aim is the Middle States regatta, he ought
to get a faster and better crew than the
one he brought out on such short notice
last season. Unfortunately he has lost one
of his best men. Townsend who was forced
by business engagements to go to Atlanta
last week; but In his place he has John
Wade, a new recruit for the Analostans, |
who is an adept at the oar, having pulled
in the '05 Georgetown crew at Pough-
keepsie
The Analostans did not take to the West
Point trip, as they did not care to lose
two days to row a race, get out Of the
shell and make hasty departure for
home. The Richmond trip was a treat, and
had the West Point affair been arranged
on similar lines the Analostans would have ,
been glad to go down but under the plan
laid down they asked to be excused
The new eight-oared shell of the AnaIos-
tans, which Coach Plaisted and Supt Biggs
have been constructing, has at last been
finished and Is satisfactory to all concerned
the Analostans, the builders and those of |
the other clubs who have inspected 1t.
