The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame comprised a group of American football players at the University of Notre Dame under coach Knute Rockne. They were the backfield of Notre Dame's 1924 football team. The players that made up this group were Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley, and Elmer Layden. In 1924, a nickname coined by sportswriter Grantland Rice and the actions of a student publicity aide transformed the Notre Dame backfield of Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller, and Layden into one of the most noted groups of collegiate athletes in football history, the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame.

  • Four Horsemen of Notre Dame (deutsch Vier Reiter von Notre Dame) war der gemeinsame Spitzname der vier American-Football-Spieler Harry Stuhldreher, Jim Crowley, Don Miller und Elmer Layden. Sie bildeten in der ersten Hälfte der 1920er-Jahre die Rückraumformation des Footballteams der University of Notre Dame, das während dieser Zeit unter dem Trainer Knute Rockne zu den dominierenden Mannschaften in den USA im College Football zählte. Der in der New York Herald Tribune im Oktober 1924 erschienene Bericht des Journalisten Grantland Rice über ein Spiel der Notre Dame Fighting Irish, durch den er die an die vier apokalyptischen Reiter angelehnte Bezeichnung Four Horsemen prägte, gilt als „Sportstory, die Amerika veränderte“. Die Erinnerung an diese vier Spieler, die ihre Laufbahn nach einer perfekten Saison 1924 sowie dem Gewinn des Rose Bowls 1925 beendeten und eine der bekanntesten Formationen in der Geschichte des College Football sind, gehört bis in die Gegenwart zu den Sporttraditionen der University of Notre Dame. Alle vier Spieler wurden zum All-American gewählt und ebenso wie ihr Trainer in die College Football Hall of Fame aufgenommen. (de)

Quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, left halfback Jim Crowley, right halfback Don Miller, and fullback Elmer Layden had run rampant through Irish opponents' defenses since coach Knute Rockne devised the lineup in 1922 during their sophomore season. During the three-year tenure of the Four Horsemen, Notre Dame lost only two games; one each in 1922 and 1923, both to Nebraska in Lincoln before packed houses. (en)

  • 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.
