ANALOSTAN TRIALS
REVEAL FAST BOATS
Showing of Junior Crew Is Par
ticularIy Gratifying to Coach
HecoX.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

I'VE are not claiming any victories
before the races are rum" said Coach
Clarence Hecok, one-time champion
sculler, and now in charge of the crews
at the Analostan Boat Club, following
yesterdays initial trials of the Anal
stan shells, but my high school boys
proved to me in Saturdays event that
they have all of the earmarks Of
championship oarsmen."
Hecox continued, with nearly a
month yet for development. before
take them TO the Peoples Regatta at
Philadelphia, there should be a great
improvement in all of the boats from
the two junior eights to the interme-
diate eights and fours. and l can only
say after the first closed races of the
season. that indications are highly en-
couraging."
Getting away from the possibility Of
making and further predictions as to
the showing of his protoges. HecoX
youchsafed a few words of praise for
the high school boys who are reporting
for daily practice at the Analostan
float" My boys average. eighteen years
of age. and in the vicinity of $50 pounds.
and for mere high school representa-
ton, / believe their work to date is
most commendable. IL they will con-
tinue training and working in the same
willful spirit that they have revealed
TO date, ] have no fear whatever for
their future.
In the mixed eights. the first event
run off yesterday afternoon, interme-
date and junior oarsmen were pitted.
The intermediates won. but the Junior
boat allowed no open water to come be-
tween the boats, and il was a struggle
from the beginning. The Junior boat got
away to a better start. but the shell
directed by Coxswain Simpson had
more even stroke and kept the lead.
The bow and stern fours of the iurlior
eights next competed IN four-oared
event, the stern four getting the deci-
sion after a second race was run fcl-
loving a dead heat liz the first trial
This game stern four was disposed OF
by an intermediate four in the next
event
Probably the most enjoyed feature of
the Analostan closed regatta was the
mixed doubles race. in which Miss
Moody and Mr.. johnson won from Miss
Kirby and Pullen. Both Miss Kirby
ana Miss Pullen. as well as other worn-
