Summary: | 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 376: Rival rugby players are shown crowding together in a tunnel-like formation called a scrum into which a player on one side has tossed the ball to restart play. Both teams try to get the ball out of the scrum to a teammate, who will likely run with the ball, lateral it, or kick it in trying to score against equally resolute defenders. ... There's little rest for weary players, though, as Auburn Rugby Football Clubbers have found since the 1960s in this game of sustained action. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
