James Murphy Leads National Legion Athletic Commission
James R. Murphy of Iowa shaped the Olympic meet in New Orleans as head of the American Legion national athletic commission. Ex service athletes competed in track and field boxing and other events under Murphy, who was appointed last June by Hanford MacNider. Murphy starred at the University of Iowa from 1911 to 1918, captaining the football team before World War I service as a captain in the Fourth Division. The Legion formed the athletic body after Provost Crowder’s report on the fitness of draftees sparked interest in military athletics.
