TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS
Jim Thorpe
1888–1953, American athlete, born near Prague, Oklahoma. Thorpe was probably the greatest all-round male athlete the United States has ever produced. In 1907 he entered the Carlisle Indian School at Carlisle, Pa. He joined (1908) the Carlisle football team, coached by Glenn ("Pop") Warner, and in 1911-12 Thorpe, playing left halfback, led Carlisle in startling upsets over such highly rated teams as Harvard, Army, and the Univ. of Pennsylvania.

In 1912, Thorpe took part in the Olympic games held at Stockholm, Sweden, and performed magnificently. He won the broad jump and the 200-meter and 1,500-meter runs of the pentathlon; won the shot put, the 1,500-meter run, and the hurdle race of the decathlon; and was the runner-up in the other events of the pentathlon and decathlon.
In 1913, Thorpe surrendered his awards, at the request of the Amateur Athletic Union and the insistence of Glenn Warner, to the Olympic headquarters in
Switzerland; it was discovered that Thorpe had played (1909-10) semiprofessional baseball with the Rocky Mount, N.C., team of the North Carolina Eastern League. In 1919, Thorpe played briefly with the New York Giants baseball team. He afterwards played professional football with the Canton (Ohio) Bulldogs and other teams and later became supervisor of recreation for the Chicago parks. Jim Thorpe, Pa., is named in his honor.
With T. F. Collison, he wrote Jim Thorpe's History of the Olympics (1932).
