Gildea was center on his Freshman eleven and seemed slated for the first team job last year when he was laid up by an injury which kept him inactive for most of the season.

This detour was a prudent courtesy, because Spain is planning a dirigible hangar at Seville, which will be useful when the Germans establish their Europe-South America Zeppelin line.
