University of North Dakota Athletics

  MacMillian certainly ranks as one of the University's all-time great football centers. The late C. D. Locklin, during the long tenure as sports editor of the Grand Forks Herald, several times referred to MacMillian as North Dakota's greatest center in the era he covered Sioux sports, 1913 to the early 1960's. He was a contemporary of the John Burma on the 1929 team. MacMillian displayed tremendous football ability plus enormous tenacity, lettered 1927-29. He was named to the All North Central Conference in 1928 and 192. He later served as a freshman football coach under the late head football coach and athletic director C.A. (Jack) West.
