Description
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 107 : Margaret "Cutie " Brown (holding ball) led the API women's basketball team to its third consecutive undefeated season in 1924 . She ran , shot and dribbled well enough to have played on the men's varsity , a teammate later recalled . In fact , the women occasionally scrimmaged the men for fun and scored baskets even though they didn't win . The one referee at games with other women's teams tended to let the action get rough at Alumni Gym . But the Auburn women didn't wilt because they were strong from walking everywhere in an era of few cars on campus . From left , after Cutie Brown , were Margaret Lane , Marye Tamplin , Ethel Price , Ruby Powell , Elizabeth Young , Olive Gibbons , and their coach , ROTC Lieutenant R.D . Ingalls . API's first women's basketball team played in 1915 , according to the Glomerata . Photo source : Wilella Plant Ingalls .
