On the subject of football games, this was a parade prior to a game in Columbus, the annual fistfight with Georgia.

Do we know where this photo was taken? We certainly do. The main building opposite the photographer is still standing.

In the Atlanta Constitution, No less than the great Ralph McGill wrote about that game.

"Until the last bitter moment, as Georgia's championship dream shattered against the force of an Auburn drive in the ist of a dark November day, a child's hurt, shrill voice kept shouting, 'Come on Georgia, you can hold them Georgia.'

"But who can hold the thunderbolt? And who can shackle a flitting sunbeam? And who can catch a brown leaf tossing in an autumn gale?

"And so it came about that Georgia's string of seven straight games was broken here this afternoon, snipped clean by a 14-to-6 score."
