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 164: Ralph Jordan was a steady center as a junior in 1930, when this picture was taken. The next year he played sixty minutes in Auburn's first football victory over Georgia Tech in twelve seasons. He also led the basketball team that reached the semifinals of the conference tournament, then hit a home run and pitched in the baseball championship victory over Florida. Neil O. Davis was a freshman in 1931 when Jordan was a senior. Nearly fifty years later, after Jordan's death, Davis recalled in the Auburn Bulletin: "My freshman view of the campus 'wheel' saw him as a football-basketball-baseball hero who, despite his 'star' status, had the common touch. He was a warm, friendly fellow who hadn't let prominence in athletics and election to major campus honor societies go to his head." Photo source: Auburn University Special Collections. |
