Munns was an outstanding athlete in five sports at Miami from 1916-19. He participated three years each in football, basketball and baseball, two in track and captured the Tobey Tennis Trophey.
He is best remembered as a three-year all-Ohio halfback who never lost a game in football. Playing under Coach George Little in 1916 and Coach Rider in 1917 and 1918, he helped lead Miami to three consecutive Ohio Conference titles and compile a record of 18 wins, no defeats and four ties.
In those three years Miami outscored the opposition 636-25, holding all of its foes in 1917 scoreless. He served as captain of the 1918 team. Munns was also a member of Miami's 1917-18 basketball team that went undefeated in 10 games and captured the Ohio Conference crown.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1974.
