1955 All American football card of the famous “Four Horsemen” backfield of Notre Dame. Consisting of Elmer Layden, Don Miller, Harry Stuhldreher and Jim Crowley, they played three seasons under legendary coach Knute Rockne. The nickname was coined by the era’s poetic sportswriter, Grantland Rice, in their final season, 1924. Notre Dame lost only 2 games in the 3 years that the famous backfield combination played together. All four players were college football coaches in their later careers, with Layden coaching at Notre Dame.
