Planned Olympic Meet Led by Legion Official James Murphy
James H Murphy of Town chaired the American Legion national athletic commission and organized the Olympic meet in New Orleans with ex-service athletes from across the country competing in track boxing wrestling aquatic sports golf and tennis. JMinder named Murphy national chairman of the executive committee in June as the Legion advanced its athletic program. Murphy, a former varsity athlete at an unnamed university, served as captain of his college football team and later led an athletic school and division unit in World War I. The Legion’s emphasis on athletics followed Provost Marshal Crowder’s report on the physical condition of men drafted for military service showing substantial underestimation of fitness for service.
