Matthew McClung
Matthew Henry "Matt" McClung, Jr. (December 1, 1868 – March 3, 1908), sometimes referred to as Dibby McClung, was an American college football player, coach, and official. Born into a powerful southern family, McClung was raised in Memphis, Tennessee until he was accepted into Lehigh University. Immediately establishing himself as a skilled sportsman, McClung participated on both the school's football and baseball teams. He served as captain of the former in 1892 and is credited with turning it into one of the school's best ever football squads. McClung graduated from Lehigh in 1893 with degrees in metallurgy and mining engineering.
After graduating, McClung took a position as the coach of the Naval Academy football team. He served for one season, leading the team to a 5-2 record against a mediocre schedule. Following the season, he began a career as a college football referee which would span twelve years.〔Lehigh Alumni Association (1910), p. 65〕
==Early life and college==
Matthew McClung was born on December 1, 1868, the fifth of seven children between Matthew McClung Sr. and Julia Frances Anderson. The younger McClung was raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, where both of his parents' families were well established.〔McClung (1904), pp. 28-29〕 McClung entered Lehigh University in 1889, majoring in mining engineering and metallurgy; the classes were held by students to be the hardest at the university.〔〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1898), pp. 222-223〕 He joined the school's chapter of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, one of nine freshmen to be accepted ''In Universitate''.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1890), p. 58〕 He also became a member of one of the school's several clubs, the "Aetos Club", which he represented in intramural athletics.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1890), pp. 104, 165〕 McClung immediately made his athletic presence at the school known, joining the lawn tennis team and the freshman baseball team as a left fielder; he also won the university's baseball-throwing competition.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1890), pp. 145, 164-168〕 He was starting catcher for the 1889 baseball team that went 4-7-1 and played in approximately one quarter of a football game.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1891), pp. 167-171〕 McClung completed his first year by toasting for the university's fraternities at the year's freshman banquet.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1895), p. 22〕
McClung's sophomore year remained largely the same as his freshman one. He maintained membership with the Psi Upsilon and the Aetos Club, but he also joined the university's Southern Club, German club, and its Chemical and Natural History Society.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1891), pp. 64, 109, 128〕〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1892), pp. 137, 146〕 He shifted from being the baseball team's catcher to center fielder, where he played in twelve out of twenty games. McClung had the third worst batting stats of anyone on the team, getting only nine hits on fifty-seven at-bats. He was also named starting quarterback of the school's football team and led the squad to a 6-4 record, which included two wins over rival Lafayette.〔''The Lehigh Epitome'' (1892), pp. 194-199〕
