Walker Reynolds "Tick" Tichenor (January 26, 1877 – November 16, 1935) was a college football player, coach, and official, as well as a sportswriter and attorney.

[3] His father Isaac was a pastor and president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, now known as Auburn University.

He was captain of the 1896 Auburn Tigers football team, and returned to assist his alma mater in the 1910s.

When coach Mike Donahue's health failed in 1911, Tichenor was largely responsible for Auburn's strong showing in holding Georgia to a scoreless tie, for which he was awarded a gold watch by the team.

[4] He also assisted the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) champion 1913, 1914, and 1919 Auburn teams.

Tichenor once executed a "hidden ball trick" in the 1895 game against Vanderbilt as Auburn seemed to run a revolving wedge.

[5][6] Vanderbilt still won however, 9 to 6; the first time in the history of southern football that a field goal decided a game.

[7] "Billy" Williams recalled: I was playing left half for Auburn and Tichenor was quarterback.

[7]Innis Brown relates: The game was played on a rather soft, slippery field, and it was exceedingly difficult to get a secure footing.

He never faltered, however, and when at last he fell exhausted across the line, he discovered that one of his own men had been running just back of him to stop any tackler that might overtake him.

"[10] Tichenor then transferred to the University of Georgia to attend law school,[11][12] and was quarterback of the football team when Richard Von Albade Gammon met his death.

In the first tournament held Tick Tichnor (sic) was timing a game in which Georgia was playing.

Stegeman, the Georgia coach, felt that he had been severely wounded by the gun going off with his team one point behind.
