| Auburn beat Alabama 32-22 on February 22, 1893, before five-thousand
fans at Lakeview Park in Birmingham, in the first football game between
the two schools. R.T. Dorsey scored three touchdowns and Tom Daniels
two for the Tigers. This picture, taken during the first half by
photographer John Horgan, Jr., shows Auburn in its ?flying wedge? formation.
The teams met a second time that year, on November 30 at Riverside Park
in Montgomery, and Auburn won 40-16. -- Photo: The Linn Henley Research
