Game summaries
Mercer
The season opened with a 26–0 defeat of Mercer. Fearing Georgia scouts watching for signals, Auburn did not use any throughout the game.[6]
Nashville
Auburn beat Nashville 14–4 in a duel between fullbacks Jim Penton and Bradley Walker.[6]
Sewanee
Auburn fought Sewanee to a scoreless tie.
Postseason
The team finished $700 in debt, and Heisman was the actor, director, and producer of David Garrick to raise the money.[7] As such, he is founder of Auburn's first theatrical group: The A.P.I. Dramatic Club.
