  • Frank Murrey was an American football player and track athlete. He played quarterback for Princeton University from 1918 to 1921 and was selected as an All-American quarterback by Walter Camp in 1918. In 1920, Murrey ran 77 yards for a touchdown in Princeton's 14-0 victory over Navy. The New York Times described the run as a "nerve-tingling moment" and a "dazzling serpentine gallop." "Gathering speed before he reached the line of scrimmage, Murrey shot past the Navy end at full speed. ... He changed the ball from his left arm to his right, and with his straight left, bowled over two of the Navy tacklers. ... With the grace of a fancy skater, Murrey twisted easily out onto the gridiron when the side line was but a step away. ... When Murrey had dashed past midfield, there were still three of the Navy players in his path. He dodged and zigzagged past them ... The way to the Navy goal line was now clear, and Murrey gathered speed as he went along." In 2000, Murrey was named as one of the backs on Princeton's All-Century Team 1900-99. In 1921, he won the Elks Grand Prix, a 600-meter special invitation race featuring the nine top college stars.
