Outlined against a blue-gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again.  In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death.  These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden.  They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below.

 

This publicity photo was taken a few days later.

Wikipedia:

In 1924, a dramatic nickname coined by sportswriter Grantland Rice, and the actions of a clever student publicity aide, transformed the Notre Dame backfield of Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller and Layden into the most fabled quartet in college football history, the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. 

During the entire three-year tenure of the Four Horsemen, Notre Dame lost only two games; one each in 1922 and 1923, both to Nebraska at Lincoln.

Stuhldreher, a 5-7, 151-pounder from Massillon, Ohio, was a self-assured leader who not only could throw accurately but also returned punts and proved a solid blocker. He emerged as the starting signal caller four games into his sophomore season in 1922. He was often labeled cocky, feisty and ambitious, but his field generalship was unmatched.

Crowley, who came to Notre Dame in 1921 from Green Bay, Wisconsin, stood 5-11 and weighed 162 pounds. Known as "Sleepy Jim" for his drowsy-eyed appearance, Crowley outmaneuvered many a defender with his clever, shifty ballcarrying.

Miller, a native of Defiance, Ohio, followed his three brothers to Notre Dame. At 5-11, 160 pounds, Miller proved to be the team's breakaway threat. According to Rockne, Miller was the greatest open-field runner he ever coached.

Layden, the fastest of the quartet, became the Irish defensive star with his timely interceptions and also handled the punting chores. The

6-foot, 162-pounder from Davenport, Iowa boasted 3.87-second speed in the 40-yard dash.

Grantland Rice also wrote this:

 

For when the One Great Scorer comes

To mark against your name,

He writes – not that you won or lost –

But how you played the Game.

Second Annual Mary T. Washington Wylie Internship Preparation Program: January 6-8, 2014

The inaugural Mary T. Washington Wylie Internship Preparation Program was held on January 7-9, 2013.

We are seeking your assistance in identifying and referring qualified students to the program. Additional information and an application are enclosed.
