    Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help byname of JAMES FRANCIS THORPE (b. May 28, 1888, near Prague, Indian Territory [now in Oklahoma, U.S.]d. March 28, 1953, Lomita, Calif., U.S.), one of the most accomplished all-around athletes in history, who in 1950 was selected by American sports writers and broadcasters as the greatest American athlete and the greatest football player of the first half of the 20th century. Predominantly of American Indian (Sauk and Fox) descent, Thorpe attended Haskell Indian School, Lawrence, Kan., and Carlisle (Pa.) Indian Industrial School. While playing football for Carlisle under coach Glenn Scobey ("Pop") Warner, he was chosen as halfback on Walter Camp's All-America teams in 1911 and 1912. Also in 1912 Thorpe won the decathlon and the pentathlon by wide margins in the Olympic Games at Stockholm, but in 1913 an investigation by the Amateur Athletic Union showed that he had played semiprofessional baseball in 1909 and 1910, and he was deprived of his gold medals. The medals were restored to his family in 1983. From 1913 through 1919 Thorpe was an outfielder for the New York, Cincinnati, and Boston baseball teams in the National League. He was more successful as one of the early stars of American professional football from 1919 through 1926. In 1920-21 he served as the first president of the American Professional Football Association (later the National Football League). He also excelled in such diverse sports as basketball, boxing, lacrosse, swimming, and hockey.

    Extractions: American athlete, one of the greatest all-around athletes of the 20th century. He was born near Prague, Indian Territory (now in Oklahoma), and educated at Hask ell Institute, in Lawrence, Kansas, and at Carlisle Indian School. His full name was James Francis Thorpe, but his original Native American name was Wa-tho-huck ("Bright Path"); his parents were of Sauk and Fox ancestry. In 1907, his first year at Carlisle, young Thorpe displayed remarkable prowess in football and track and won the attention of Pop Warner, then Carlisle's coach of these sports. Thorpe performed brilliantly on the varsity football team, but in 1909 he withdrew from the school and went to North Carolina. There he worked as a farmhand and played semiprofessional baseball. Returning to Carlisle in 1911, Thorpe played halfback on the football team, contributing largely to Carlisle victories over some of the most powerful teams in the country. In 1911 and 1912 he made the All-American team. Thorpe excelled during this period in many other sports, including track and field, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, ice hockey, swimming, boxing, tennis, and archery. Thorpe was a member of the United States track and field team at the Olympic Games of 1912 and was widely recognized as the world's greatest all-around athlete after he won both the pentathlon and the decathlon. Early in 1913, however, the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), having learned that he had played semiprofessional baseball, voided his amateur status and disallowed his Olympic victories. In 1982 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) posthumously restored both his amateur status and his two Olympic medals.
