		It was 74 years ago that a dramatic nickname coined by a poetic sportswriter and the quick-thinking 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.
		Quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, left halfback Jim Crowley, right halfback Don Miller and fullback Elmer Layden had run rampant through Irish opponents' defenses since Knute Rockne devised the lineup in 1922 during their sophomore season.
		Layden, the fastest of the quartet, became the Irish defensive star with his timely interceptions and also handled the punting chores.

		Apparently in awe of the Buckeyes' talent, Notre Dame coach Elmer Layden (in a foreshadowing of Lou Holtz) theorized the Irish would be lucky to stay within 30 points of Ohio State.
		Less than three minutes into the contest, Notre Dame halfback Mike Layden, the coach's younger brother, dropped to pass and fired a bullet deep into OSU territory.
		Elmer Layden decided his team needed a jolt, and started the second half with a second-string line in front of the starting backfield.

		Four years after Knute Rockne's death and more than a decade after the Four Horsemen galloped down the gridiron, former Horseman and head coach Elmer Layden led his 5-0 Irish squad into Buckeye Stadium to take on top-ranked Ohio State.
		Layden merely encouraged his team to "win this half for themselves." Layden's halftime speech may not go down with any of Rockne's for its poetry or elegance, but it did its job as a different Irish squad emerged from the locker room.
		He found Layden open in the end zone for a touchdown as the Buckeye lead fell to just one.
