FRESH EGGS GAVE YANKS
VICTORY m BIG GAMES
~Caseys" Got Busy, Produced Hen
Fruit, and the Athletes Did
the Rest.

One Of the reasons--parhaps the
principal rsason--why American ath-
letes scored heavily in the inter-allietl
last summer has come to light with
renee Q. Murray. former Comptroller
OF the Currency, and for the past two
years overseas commissioner OF the
Knights Of Columbus. ="
Tt was q matter of four hundred
eggs q day that helped to put our
athletes across" said Murray. The
Knights Of Columbus. for some
strange reason. were excluded from
participation in the games. We were
not permitted by the military authori-
ties to enter the stadium But some
how or other we secured a temporary
lease OF q plot Of ground close to the
stadium and put up a tent as head
quarters for the A. L. F.
-one of the principal American
trainers came to US after the com
mander at Colonies Field had gener-
ously declined to make us remove the
tent The trainer was confident that
his athletes could win. but he COM
planned that they couldn't get SUM-
Client good food-especial1y fresh
egsa The knights volunteered to
provide 400 fresh eggs each morning
for the athletes. and for four weeks
supplied this ration, with other neces-
ssry things.
at means a good deal of securing
through the countryside and coaxins
reluctant hens, for eggs were at q
premium in France. But Casey got
them, and IL helped the athletes to
show the world that American ath.
letic skill led them all"
