Gilman Chosen for Captaincy Breaks Boston Preference
Gilman, a tackle who played on the 1913 team that beat Yale 15 to 5 and later returned as a junior, emerges as the popular captaincy candidate on nearly every all American list. A versatile athlete from Phillips Exeter, he also rowed freshman crew and swam. Contenders included Coolidge Harte Harris and Cadman. This marks the first captaincy for a non Greater Boston player since 1910, when Withington, a Hawaiian, won.
