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 155: Auburn's Shag Hawkins stretched for a basket in a packed Alumni Gym in 1941. The 6-foot-2 center led SEC scorers that season and was second to teammate Frank Manci (No. 30 in picture) the next year. Hawkins scored 644 points in three seasons during the era of low-scoring basketball. "Shag was a helluva perimeter man, and his drive for the basket was awesome," his coach, Ralph Jordan, recalled nearly forty years later. Hawkins was Jordan's only scholarship basketball player at API. The profits from a nickel-a-drink Coke machine at the gym went to Shag. Photo source: Auburn University Archives. |
