One hundred and seventy contestants entered the try-outs, which were open to both professionals and amateurs, and Gil bert's success in making one of the team of five, picked from 170 of the best men of the country, is a creditable record. Those who won places with Gilbert were: Dr. Anderson, physical director of Yale; Dr. May. physical director o f the University o f Michigan; Dr.Clap, physical director o f the University o f Nebraska, and Champion Moyser, o f New England. These try-outs are the leading athletic events at Chautauqua, and are annually contested by many of the physical direct ors and other leading athletes o f Eastern universities. The team gave its first ex hibition at the assembly amphlt heater on July 19, nearly 20,000 peoplebeing in attendance. Gilbert was a student at Pacific University, at Forest Grove, playing quarter back on the ’Varsity eleven during the past year, and is spending his summer vacation at Chautauqua.
