BY H. C. BYRD.

To Coach Hecox should go the credit
Tor 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 10
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 Hecox
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 were won. The first
event was taken from the Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute and the other
from the Potomac Boat Club
HecoX should feel proud of his young
ste-s. They are his handiwork from the
ground up. Even more credit is due him
than to the coach ordinarily; he devel-
oped the crew in its entirety; when Hecox
took hold of 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 o. the
eight was predicted. because out of the
green material Hecox was gradually
molding a winning combination. Yestef-
every boy who sat in the boat is the
possessor of a gold watch, the trophies
given to the individuals.
1t was predicted that the Junior eight
cared race would be between the Poto-
mac and Analostan clubs, and the fore
cast held good. The Potomac boat fin
ished second. and gave the Analostan
bunch the time of their lives to finish
in front. The Potomac @men We're in
the lead for quite a bit of the course,
! but were unable to hold the advantage.
The Potomac Club won the Junior dou-
BILE SOULS.

1t will be noticed that the Detroit Boa
Club won the race for senior Fights
This is rather interesting in view of tn.
| fact that Nickall. who is coaching the
| Detroit club, has been secured by the
University of Pennsylvania TO 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
| coaching system is to be changed. In
casting about for capable man the
conclusion was reached that Nickall was
about as capable as 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
Nickall himself, but to those who were
instrumental in having his services
secured.
In the Junior \. \. L. championship
held in Chicago yesterday. the Chicago
A. A. scored the most points by wide
margin. The Irish American Athletic
Club was second with % against the -
secured by the winner. The overwhelm-
ing victory Of the Chicago club was
probably due to the fact that it was on
the ground and able TO put a much
larger squad in competition than the
other ORGANIZATIONS. Then it draws the
majority of it's talent from the big west
ern universities, and there are some
mighty capable men representing the In
situations I'm the middle west.
Here is the number of points scored
by each club:
