John Thomas McLure (1889 – ?) was a college football and baseball player who served in the First World War.[1]
Auburn University
McClure was a prominent quarterback for Mike Donahue's Auburn Tigers of Auburn University.
1908
In 1908, a year in which he was captain,[2][3] he was selected All-Southern;[4][5] Vanderbilt coach Dan McGugin describes his play: "McClure was not particularly fast, but a spirited leader, an excellent general and a sure tackler."[4] LSU won the SIAA championship, but amidst fears of many players being ineligible under SIAA rules most sportswriters did not include them for All-Southern selection.[4] LSU rival Tulane, which was also undefeated in conference play, accused many LSU players of professionalism.[6] Auburn is one team listed as an alternative southern champion, for LSU was its only loss.
World War I
McClure served in the First World War. He declared that going over the top in France beats charging into an opposing eleven.[7] Such an attitude did eventually get him wounded.[8]
