Maj. J. C. Fegan Is Credited With Putting Corps on Map. Three Officers Coming Here to Carry on Duties of Texan. Maj. Joseph C. Fegan, who is credited with putting the Marine Corps on the map, from the standpoint of publicity and athletics, is scheduled to leave ‘Washington tomorrow ndon for Haiti. Numbered among the feats to Maj. Fegan's credit was the presentation tc the British Royal Marines by Gene Tunney of the Assoclation Foot Bail Trophy as the gift of the United States Marine Corps; the numbering of base ball players after the system followed in foot ball; the bringing of the Japanese University base ball team to the United States a couple of years ago, to play the Marines; the starting of the first Belleau Wood memorial fund; the pres- entatdon of sweaters and athletic trophles to outstanding players in the Marine Corps; authorization for a Ma- rine Corps basket ball team that will be a reality next season; the procuring of the famous bulldog mascot of the Devil Dogs, Sergt. Maj. Jiggs, and his successor, Corpl. Jiggs, with service rec- ords just as enlisted men have, as well as other “stunts” to bring the Marine Corps into the public eye. Marine Corps foot ball and base ball teams—that is, the teams that repre- sent the entire corps and have their headquarters at Quantico—have ac- complished remarkable records under Fegan's direction. In four years on the gridiron, with a 10-game schedule each year, the Marines have been de- feated only four times in four years. One year they went through without a defeat, one year two games were lost and one game in each of two other years. The base ball team has been almost | as successful, and last season was the only nine in this section that won every game it played. Maj. Fegan ar- | ranged schedules, had charge of all rectly responsible for the unusual suc- cesses. On Duty Here Five Years. Maj. Fegan has been on duty at Marine Corps headquarters practically continuously for the past five years, and the importance of his position can | be gauged when it is considered that it has been found necessary by Maj. | Gen. Wendell C. Neville, Marine Corps | commandant, to order three omcer;f to | aj Fegan has had the threefold job of at- tending to publicity, athletics and re. cruiting, and in addition has been active | in the Marine Corps League. | The recruiting posters that one sees | displayed on various street corners and other places and the appealing ath- ik "THE.

A goodly share of his at- tention while stationed in Washington was to direct recruiting activities over the Nation, and fellow officers say that not the least of the services that he has done for the corps is to bring the service to the attention.of the Middle West, which seldom sces any of the men who are “The First to Fight.” This prophet of Marine Corps pub- licity was born November 6, 1886, in Dallas, Tex., and appointed a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1909. He served at the Marine Barracks at Annapolis, Md., in 1911 and later did duty on naval vessels, including the U. S. S. Prairie, Florida and Cincinnati. Likewis2, he has done duty at the Ma- | rine Barracks at Quantico, Va. Maj. Fegan served in the Philippines, in Panama and in Santo Domingo and has been on recruiting duty at Los Angeles and San Francisco. He came to the Marine Corps headquarters in 1924 and was soon thereafter appointed Marine Corps athletic officer under Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune.
