1980s: Rugby players
Title
1980s : Rugby players
Description
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 .
