A report was printed along the Associated Press wire on October 13, 1925 that World
Heavyweight wrestling champion Ed "Strangler" Lewis was going to defend his championship
against All-American football star Jim McMillen at Urbana, Illinois in a few weeks.  McMillen
was the captain of the University of Illinois football squad in 1922 and reportedly Big Ten
heavyweight wrestling champion.  The match was going to be promoted by Jim Brown.




As of 1935, McMillen owned a chicken farm in Antioch, Illinois.
