for the victory secured by the Analos-
tan Boat Club yesterday in the peo-
pies regatta in Philadelphia 1t is due
To his untiring energy and ability to
get work out OF his boys that the local
eight-oared crew was able to win the
Junior race against some the most
capable boats in the country.
1t Is no secret that practically the
whole Analostan eight is made up of
Technical High School boys. lads who
come under the supervision Of HecoN
during the entire scholastic year. He
has them in foot ball. and all last
spring he had them working on the
water in crew representing the
school. While rowing under Technical
colors two races We're won. The first
event was taken from the Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute and the other
from the Potomac Boat Club.
HecoX should feei proud of his young
sters. They are his handwork from the
ground up. Even more credit is due him
than to the coach ordinaI lily. he devel-
oped the crew in its entirety: when Hecox
took hold 0f the bunch that won at Phil
adelphia yesterday they did not know
any more about handling an oar than a
broom. Last summer the success OF the
eight was predicted, because out OF the
green material HecoX was gradually
molding winning combination. YesteI-
day the crew made good. and today
every boy who sat I'm the boat is the
possessor of gold watch. the trophies
given TO the individuals.
1t was predicted that the Junior eight
Dared race would be between the Poto-
mae and Analostan clubs, and the fore
east held good. The Potomac boat fin
ished second. and gave the Analostan
bunch the time of their lives to finish
i'm front. The Potomac men We're in
the lead for quite bit Of the course.

1t will be noticed that the Detroit Boat
CLUB won the race for senior Fights
This is rather interesting in view of the
fact that Nickall. who is coaching the
Detroit club. has been secured by the
University of Pennsylvania 10 take
charge Of its oarsmen next spring. The
Quakers have long been dissatisfied with
the lack of success they have attained
on the water with the result that the
casting about for capable man the
conclusion was reached that Nickall was
about as capable any man in sight.
The victory of his club right under the
eyes of the university with which he
will be connected must have been a
source of qualification not only to
Nickall himself. but to those who were
instrumental in having his services
secured.
In the junior 4. \. L. championship
held in Chicago yesterday. the Chicago
A. A. scored the most points ny a wide
margin. The Irish american Athletic
Club was second with 81. AGAINST the -
secured by the winner The overwhelm-
ing victory OF the Chicago club was
probably due to the fact that II was on
the ground and able to put much
larger squad in competition than the
other organizations. Then 1t draws the
ma jority of its talent from the big west
ern universities and there are some
mighty capal,l men representing the in
situations in the middle west.
Here is the number of points scored
by each club:
Chicago A. 49,. .----...--.- !.
