Biography

Magee kneeling

Magee was born in Newark, New Jersey, on January 12, 1883, but grew up in East Boston, where he was a sprinter in school.[1][2] He briefly coached at Powder Point School in Duxbury, Massachusetts before moving to Bowdoin College in 1913.[1] Magee was in charge of the Bowdoin track team for the following forty-two years, with some interruptions; in 1918 he received a year's leave of absence to train the American army in France, and was wounded during his time there.[3][4]

Magee's Bowdoin teams won the New England championship four times and the Maine state championship twenty times.[2][5] His most successful pupil was 1924 Olympic hammer throw champion and long-time Rhode Island track head coach Fred Tootell; other top athletes coached by Magee at Bowdoin included weight throw world-best holder Niles Perkins and 1934 IC4A high hurdles champion Phil Good.[6] Magee coached the American national team in dual meets against the British Empire in 1932 and 1933, as well as on tours of the Far East (1934) and Scandinavia (1937).[2][7] He served as an assistant coach on the U.S. Olympic track and field teams of 1924, 1928 and 1932; he was also with the team in 1920, but was not one of the official assistant coaches that year.[8][9] Magee lobbied for an American boycott of the 1936 Olympics, held in Nazi Germany; he turned down the opportunity to be an Olympic team coach again as a protest after the decision not to boycott was made.[5]

Magee was one of the founders of the Maine branch of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU); he was elected vice president of the national AAU in 1932 and re-elected the following year.[10][11][12] He also served as president of the Association of College Track Coaches of America and was a long-time member of the Maine State Boxing Commission.[2] After his retirement in 1955 Magee was named emeritus director of track and field at Bowdoin; he died in Brunswick, Maine on January 1, 1968, aged 84.[5]

Legacy

Magee was inducted in the Helms Hall of Fame in 1949.[6] The track at Bowdoin's Whittier Field stadium is named after Magee, as is Jack Magee's Pub & Grill on the Bowdoin campus.[3]
