Presented here is a photograph signed by the Four Horseman, the legendary Notre Dame backfield of the early 1920s. All four men, Elmer Layden, Jim Crowley, Don Miller, and Harry Stuhldreher, were members of the Notre Dame Class of 1924. In three seasons, the Notre Dame team led by Knut Rockne and the modern reincarnations of Pestilence, Death, Famine, and Destruction lost only twice, both times on the road to the University of Nebraska. The losses did not deter the future College Football Hall of Famers, as they capped off their magical run at Notre Dame by going undefeated in 1924 and defeating Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Although the Notre Dame stars went their separate ways after graduation, they did all play one game together, in 1925, for the Hartford Blues.

     In this 8 x 10 inch black and white photograph the Horsemen are standing in a line, all wearing slick leather jackets. From left to right, Elmer Layden, Jim Crowley, Don Miller, and Harry Stuhldreher have signed this photograph. Layden inscribed “Warmest Regards”, Crowley “Every Good Wish”, Miller “Sincere Wishes”, and Stuhldreher “Best Wishes”. Layden and Crowley signed in black pen, while the final two Horsemen signed in blue. This item comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (V02921).
