He played tackle on the 1913 team, which defeated Yale 15 to 5, but left college the middle of his junior year. He returned this year and was enrolled as ajunior. .This year he was the popular choice for one of the tackle positions on practically every mythical all-American team that was picked. He is not only a first rate football player, but is a good all-round athlete, having rowed on his freshman crew and been a member of his freshman swimming team.

Coolidge, Jr., of Bos-he returned to Harvard and re-entered the college in good standing. He instantly reclaimed his old place in the line, stepping into the vacancy that was made by Wallie Trumbull's graduation. And there has been nothing to it but Gilman since then.The year that he lost during his absence at Harvard put him behind in his college work, otherwise he would be graduating next June in Eddie Mahan's class without having been a Harvard captain. But fortune favors Hawaiian athletes in the matter of football honors. Lothrop Withington, captain of the 1910 team, was a Hawaiian man, too.Gilman is Eddie Mahan’s roommate. He is 23 years old. weighs 187 pounds and is six feet one inch high.

Harvard's football captain for 1916. is a self-made football player. He plugged over a thorny pathway to attain a place on one of Percy Haughton’s exclusive combinations, and today he is rated as a nearly universal choice for All-American tackle. He lacks only Walter Camp’s approval to become a unanimous choice for theplace.Favors were not always thus for Gilman, however. As a preparatory school player, he wasn’t good enough to make the first team, and he came to Harvard without the shimmering reputation ofmany other star prep school players who have developed into captains in their senior year. Gilman was pretty nearly a football nobody in his early rears of residence at Cambridge, but it has taken him only three years tobecome a Harvard football captain,which is a fairly lofty honor in thesedays of football systems.Gilman came from Honolulu, H. I., seven years ago and went to Exetei Academy to prepare for Harvard. His stature, closely akin to that of a mountain, made him a mark for the coaches, but that was all he had to recommend him as a gridiron pupil. He fought for a place on the Exeter team, but he was never good enough to get a regular place in the line, and so he entered Harvard without ever having been afirst string player Gilman came to Harvard in 1912 andloomed up as one of the bulkiest boyson Soldiers Field. He tried for a placeon the freshman team that EddieMahan captained, and a few lessonsunder the Haughton system taught hima lot he had never known about lineplay. He made his iplace at tackle inthe freshman lineup and was on theeleven that defeated the Yale freshmen18 to 17. 'Ho was a varsity regular on Bob Storer's eleven that trimmed Yale 15 to 5 with the help of Charley Brickley's IThe Greater Boston Interscholastic Rowing Association needs two more shells to complete its full roster of new shells and in order to get the new boats the members of the association are out to secure $500. An appeal was jffiade to the city of Boston to supply this money, but this request was denied the boys and now the remaining money will have to be secured by themselves.Almost $200 has been gathered together by the boys and they now feel that they will not have a great deal erf hard wortlt; in securing the rest of the money. President Joe Hunt of the rowing association, stated yesterday that an appeal is to be made to the graduates of the various schools and especially to the graduate oarsmen asking them to subscribe to a fund.The Boston Athletic Association has for over 20 years supplied the boats for the oarsmen, supplied coaching and the housing of the boats as well as dressing rooms for the boys. The old shells have been rendered useless because of age and the B. A. A. does not feel that it can afford spending the money for new shells and consequently the mutter was put up to the boys.Some of the schools have already pledged the money while others have not been able to meet the amount required. The schools unable to produce are the Boston public high schools. The city will not supply the money and it is the opinion of the boys that the city should foster rowing the same as it does other sports and should contribute to the fund.Menu Is Prepared andKILLS RUMORSServed by GirlsPrincipal Elbert C. Wixon and Sub-Master Edward E. Thompson of the Winchester High School and Coach George Sexton were the guests at the banquet given at 6 o’clock ’last evening to the members of the Winchester High football team in the school gymnasium.The menu was prepared and served by the girl students, who are members of the high school cooking class. The dinner was a tribute to the team by the school athletic association. During the football season the team won every home game and nearly all the out-of-town games.The members of the foot bail team are: Captain Brooks, Francis and Willard Lock, Frank Brock, James Led-widge, George Bird, George Dubreau, Robert Moffett, James Allen, Robert Brown, Roland Murphy, Ralph Brad-lev, Orlow Clark and Carroll Hilton.The receipt of Gardner's signed contract effectually kills all those rumors of three cornered trades that involvedFrom timevccfiItt1Gardner, Maisel and Raker, to time the alarmists in their abnormal desire to create a * baseball sensation have hinted that Larruping Larrhad played his last game for Boston and •that Fritz Maisel of the Highlanders would come here in a three corneredwould send the VermontThe Post hasBEVERLY YACHT CLUBELECTS OFFICERSThe annual meeting of the Beverly Yacht Club was held yesterday afternoon.
