This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 230: As the sign indicates, Auburn had retaliation in mind during the pre-game parade before the Alabama football game in 1949. A year earlier, the Crimson Tide had swamped the Tigers 55-0 in the first football game between the two teams in forty-one years. ... Despite the Alabama president's prediction of a 21-7 Tide victory, Tiger supporters were hopeful of an upset. Miss Auburn, Dorry Ann Hayes, sitting between two other coeds, displaying a winning smile on the ride through downtown Birmingham in Roland (Chief) Shine's convertible. Basketball star Don Lanford is seated behind Shine, who owned Chief's U-Drive-It and service station in Auburn. The Tigers surprised the rival president and the oddsmakers by winning 14-13. ... Miss Hayes later married George Johnston, Jr., who with Paul Malone opened Johnston and Malone Bookstore in 1953. Photo source: Auburn University Archives. |
