it seerps his knee cartlage was
banged up considerably, so much
so, thaf he had to give up the grid
game completely.
; Too Many Adds
The Battalion does no^ have suf
ficient j space to list all of his
high school medals, ribbons, hon
ors, arid letters.
With a quick glance over the
field we find he has accumulated
twelvelhigh school numerals out of
a possible fifteen. Captaining the
football, baseball, and basketball
teams his senior year, Shug man
aged to win himself a letter in the
three imost popular high i school
sports,! three straight years.
Track and tennis also took some
of his f time though. He went to
the regional finals in doubles in
tennis : and ran the half mile in
track to collect another numeral.
“Soipe of those sweaters I’Ve
never worn” says the well-clothed
diamorid ace.
The j fact that he was all-district
in a Stough Ft. Worth gridiron
district for two straight years’ also
needs jnientioning.
His -senior year he was selected
to compete on the North squad in
the ’47 North-South All-Star Class
ic in El Paso. “We got beat 27 to
7”, said Shug. We didn’t find out
till later though that Shug himself
had sejored that lone TD on a seven
yard line plunge.
j Leading the Swatters \
At present McPherson is belting
the horsehide at a .530 clip to lead
the -club. He is second in walks
with ri'Rht, second in RBIs with
12 an(i e® 8 crossed the plate twelve
times; in twelve contests to rank
second to Wally Moon in runs
scored.
It io»k twenty minutes to find
out that the big Cowtown lad had

In the fifteen years he has been
playing, Shug estimates he has
played in at least
leagues, and has
every position on the field at one
tiriie or another.
His first taste of organized ball
came in ’42 with the fighting, Oak-
knell Wildcats in [the Ft. Worth
twelve-and-under league. “I pitch

This past summer the talented
Aggie gardner saw action with the,
Alpine Cowboys in the Texas-New
Mexico League. Stmg swung the
long stick at a .339 clip to rank
among the top teri hitters in the
league. “Would lijke to go back
there again this summer,” he com
mented. J J. ]
“Haven’t been Ranked up very
much” said McPherson,' “but did
receive an injury two,” when
asked if he had received a"riy ser

Not Only Hits Ball
Last season thb big junior hit
the center field fence trying to
catch a fly in jthe Ohio State
game, “Caught it| too” he added.
Three stitches above the left eye
kind of quited Shug down a bit,
arid he missed several games after
thlat. The versatile PE major did
manage to end jthe season with
two home runs and a batting aver
age of .247.' !'[ T l ^
He lists as the most outstanding
player ever completed against as
Bob Henry, an Amarillo boy, who
pitched last season with Southwest
ern with Oklahoma. Since then the
little moundsman has signed a
pro contract with the Chicago
Cubs.
“Would like to play pro ball” said
McPherson when asked what he
would like to do upon graduation.
“Have received'Several-offers, but
nothing is definite at the present..”
A little embarrassed, but with a
smile on his face, McPherson said,
when asked how he stacked up
with the women, “Pretty good I
reckon, atill lookin’ though.”

ASA into third place on the intra

QMC, has placed near the finals in
almost every event.
Team tennis champions—C In
fantry—arid a tie for third place in
the wrestling plus a fair showing
in the boxing, places the infantry
men only 4 points behind ASA.
Three of the above teams reach-,
ed the quarterfinals of the hand
ball team tourney and will gain
some points from this event. Only
A Infantry of the above four didn’t
reach the quarterfinals.
Four events—softball, volley
ball, swimming, and track— still
remained to be completed, and the
lead could easily change, but it
seems that only A QMC can over
take A Infantry.
