Other schools, Presbytcri "Butch" Butler, was chosen the Caroina McMillan Awarded Jacob Grid Trophy For Best Blocking One of the greatest honors in Southern football has been bestowed upon Carolina's Bill McMillan. Each year the most outstanding blocker in the State of South Caro lina is chosen by a select group of sports experts. To this man goes the vaunted Jacobs Trophy, in rec ognition of his outstanding team work and topnotch play. Dr. William P. Jacobs, president of Preshyterian College established ths ard in 1925 to honor those forgotten men on every team who through expert blocking in the line and open field enabled their team mnates to make those toug~hdown runs and spectacular brc'aks. This year's championed forgot ten man is I.'SC's owni 1,5 poundl firebrand quarterback, "Robo" Mie hiillan. Bill was horn 21 years ago In Mfullins, S. C. 1His elemnentary school days were filled w ith sling~ shots, marbles, baseball bats, and girls' pig tails. \\hen Hill entered M ullins H-Iigh School his interests turnedl to sports. lie played base ball, basketball, and football. \\'hile cotmpeting in his favorite, football, Bill was known to his teammates as "Old Dependable." bill could al ways be counted upon to give his own in every game. After three years of prep ball, Bill came to USC. HeI has played football for the Ganmecocks (lur ing three seasons. It is tneedless to say that this was his m$st sulccess ful year. Bill feels that this yLar's Gamecock gridlmen have met and bested some very tough opponents. The North Carolina team, led by Barney Poole, Jack Teague, land H-osea Rodgers was in Bill's opin ion the most elusive eleven the Birds have come up against this season. icMiillan, who had played all season without thought of ptublic BOOKS :-: OFFICE THE R.

At a recent meetin ,. the football squad chose Bill Mc llan, quarter back, and Neil Allen, veteran guard, as co-captains for 1943. The election came as a result of the vacancy left when Earl Dun hami, quarterback on the '42 squad, left for the armed forces. Both McMillan and Allen are seniors, and a're in the NROTC unit here at Carolina. Allen won AP All-state honors recently, while Mc Millan won the Jacobs Trophy, awarded to the state's outstandinug blocker. kND SCHOOL SUJPPLIES BRYAN CO.

Football season is buried with the exception of the A l-Something or others. Basketball is in the air and that is about all. 3linor sports such as boxing. swinnning. howling, and the like aren't heard of. We realize that it is no easy task to start a sports program no'tadays -in(e everybody is very busy. Howe%er. it is our opinion that intra-mural activity of some sort is needed very badly. True. the V-12 unit started an intra-nural program with softball as ',ne of the sports but the cooperation with this actimity wa- poor :ince the time depriBed the men mnvoled of liberty time. YetA we come back to the original contention, that there is a need fir competitive sports on the campus. We don't know what the powers that be are planning for sports. We know that there i- probably a very good reason whv an active program hasn't been pursued. Possibly there is a plan in the making. At any rate this matter of having more competitive sports program bears looking into and deserves some action. * A Bit Of Explanation La,t week we picked an All-State team and PURPOSELY left Marion "Butch" Butler and Carey Cox off of the team. Obviously both were standouts at their positions while they were on hand to play but both went to the service during the season and could not fini=h out the season. This also explains our failure to place Phil Cantore on our All-Stater and explains the choice of Bill N( Millan. We also stick to our choice of Ralph Hodges oNer McLaughlin of Presbyterian. * Sorry To Hear That .. . Johnny Gill. one of our sports writers and one of the 1943 cheerleaders has heen placed in the Charleston Naval Hospital for treatment to his knee. It seems that "Long John" had a knee injury datimg hack to high school days and that now it is bothering h1n again. He will be confined to the hospital for quite a while so we hear. At any rate. we all hope that he has a very :peedy recovery and is back with us soon. * ** * They Tell Me That . . George Plamat,n. V-12 trainee at the University played a little semi-pro and professional ba-eball. It seems that he has pitched hall not only for a Navy hall Club in Miami but also for Class 1) and Class C teamn- in the northern states. He is under contract with the St. Louis Cards and epects to work with them again after the nar. He has played on teams with such men as Johnny Mize. Johnny Rigney. Ernie Andres. Frank Crourher, and Joe Grace. One of his best records was compiled at Miami where he won 13 and lost 1 in intra camp coripetition. * Bill McMillan's Choice as best blocker in the state for the year 1943 was no ulrpr ie to us. Bill "ertairly is the unsung hero of the team if there e' er wvas one. He played every one of Carolina's gamnes thiis ear. whii.-bi no it heri ba k w as ablue to do.
