Title
1920s : W . H . "Mutt " Gregory
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 137 : The "Double Dozen " including tackle W . H . "Mutt " Gregory (in photo) , helped unseat API President Spright Dowell . The twenty-four student leaders , acting unofficially , recruited alumni and the student body to their dump-Dowell campaign , Ag Hill historians Joe Yeager and Gene Stevenson said . The "Double Dozen " charged that Dowell had failed to get the students and alumni working together for Auburn , leading to inadequate financial support from the Legislature... . Despite sack-Dowell talk as games were lost , the group denied that football was the basis of student unrest . But.. . players complained to trustees... . T . H . Pearce , a guard and student council president , said the Alabama faculty cooperated with the team , but the Auburn faculty didn't--one reason the Auburn team hadn't done better .
