During the height of the anti-sweet controversy he maintained that his campaign was really helping candy sales by focussing so many millions of minds on the subject of candy. Energetic, strong minded, Mr. Hill personally supervises many branches of his business, even to passing...
...Southern Conference players who turned out in Atlanta to help the Shrine children's hospitals, split up into Blues and Cardinals, but there were seven men from Tennessee on the Blues and they knew how to work together. Bobby Dodd's stout leg got off long punts and lank Buddy Hackman spun around ends, caught long passes.
