In 1957, Kutis won the National Challenge Cup.[2] Consequently, the United States Soccer Federation replaced the U.S. national team with the Kutis club in the middle of the 1958 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Kutis, acting as the U.S. national team, lost two games to Canada and the U.S. had failed to qualify for a second straight Cup final. However, Murphy scored 3–2 loss on July 6, 1957.[3] He was inducted into the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame in 1989.[4]
In 1989 he was elected Sheriff of St. Louis.[5][6]
