| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 53: Shouts of "Rah, rah, ree, Alabama AMC" may have inspired Auburn to a muddy 10-0 victory over the University of Georgia in the Deep South's first major intercollegiate football game, played February 20, 1892, before a crowd estimated at 2,000 in Atlanta's Piedmont Park. Auburn refused to be intimidated by Georgia's touted blocking or by the splendid Tally Ho--the horse-and-buggy equivalent of a Rolls Royce--decked out in Georgia's colors. ... The Auburn team for the Georgia game included a few young instructors as well as students. The team lived it up in Atlanta, staying at the fashionable Kimball House. After all expenses were paid, including the hotel bill, Auburn netted $29.20 on the game.
