30 Mcmillan was one OF the great
est football players several years ago
that ever wore a uniform. He was
with Centre. He left and accepted
a position as coach Of an obscure
college up in Pennsylvania. Next he
went to Centenary as coach Of the
Shreveport, La. school. Now he is
coach Of the Kansas Aggies. Now
that is common news. But the point
we wish to convey is this: Mcmillan
when he left Centre could have had
his choice at a number Of big college
jobs as coach. He didn't accept and
instead decided to build from the
ground up in coaching. A star play
er does not necessarily make a sue
cessful coach. Mcmillan knew this.
He made a success al the first two
schools he coached, and now ne has
the bigger job, and his success OF
failure-we believe success-will be
watched with interest the country
over.
Those baseball fans who like to live
in the past; ia tell Of the glories Of
the old-timers. and how far ahead OF
the present bunch OF players, atten-
ton is called 10 the present records
being made. The Boston Red Sox

American league, in Buddy Myer,
third baseman, who was swiped 20
bases. In the National league, Guy
Ter Of Chicago, leads with So. In the
Southern league. ''Stuffy" Stewart

Orleans several years ago, wen. to
Washington and then was traded TO
the Red Sox. His home is IN Ellis

There is a keen rivalry in football
between the different NalltA cities,
out not greater than the rivalry be-
tween Bay City, Wharton, Eagle Lake
and Edna. These towns. small dis
tances apart. take quite an interest in
their football elevens. and the inter
est Of the fans is conmendable.
Left hand pitchers seem TO have
carried the burden OF the hurl-
ing done by pcnnaat winners in
the Texas league and big leagues.

SO il resolves itself down 70 the
pointed facts that left-handers held
sway this year-ard though il is con-

or less "nutty" and we have said so
many times-but we take il all back
