trouble in wearing the shoes Eddie
Mahan filled so successfully the sea
son just completed. In many respects
Gilman has a personality similar to
NIahan's. 4 personality which wins the
confidence and friendship of the play

Perfect Type.
Physically, Gilman is as near perfect
as it is possible to be. Brought up in
Honolulu, Hawaii, he spent an ex-
tremely vigorous, healthful outdoor
life. He stands 6 feet inch in
height and carries 1870 pounds Of solid
flesh and muscle. The choice of Gil
man as captain was unanimous, testi.
flying to his popularity.
Gilman has been attending school
in New England since he was rs years
old, having left Honolulu to begin his
preparatory days at Rock Ridge Hall.
Wellesley At Rock Ridge Gilman gave
promise of becoming an exceptional
athlete. He played there on the foot

at home in any sport connected with

face of the keenest competition, won
a regular tackle position ON the Har.

over Yale. Gilman played right tackle

after having trouble with the college

mainder of the year, returning in the
fall of 1914, but was not eligibae for
the Harvard eleven. so he spent the

Stecker, the sensational hoy in over
