Topic: Harry Stuhldreher


In the News (Sun 3 Jun 12)

  
  College Football Hall of Fame
Stuhldreher would emerge as the quarterback in the famed Four Horsemen backfield which dazzled opponents and left an indelible mark upon the pages of gridiron history.
It was a Rockne trademark, and it became the one characteristic in young Harry Stuhldreher which convinced the Irish coach to make him his signal-caller.
Although Harry was the smallest of the Horsemen at 5-7 and 151 pounds, he was equally as fast and shifty as the others - the ideal quarterback with a sound grasp of the game.

Stuhldreher, the only football coach to lead the Badgers to a national title, was also one of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, a storied backfield that will be honored on a 32-cent stamp.
Stuhldreher was a 5-foot-7, 151-pound quarterback who teamed with fullback Elmer Layden and halfbacks Crowley and Don Miller to form the cornerstone of a team considered one of the best in college football history.
Stuhldreher had an undistinguished record at UW until 1942, when the Badgers' talent included Hirsch, halfback Mark Hoskins, fullback Marlon "Pat" Harder and the receiving of end Dave Schreiner.

 Elmer Layden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elmer Francis Layden (May 4, 1903 – June 30, 1973) served as Commissioner of the National Football League and as head football coach at Notre Dame.
At Notre Dame, he played fullback alongside quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, left halfback Jim Crowley, and right halfback Don Miller; the four collectively earned the nickname of "The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame" from legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice, and are still considered one of the best backfields in college football history.
After his playing days, Layden became an assistant coach at Notre Dame, eventually taking over as head coach in 1933 a few years after his legendary mentor Knute Rockne was killed in a plane crash.

Last week Wisconsin hired young, handsome Harry Stuhldreher, quarterback of the Four Horsemen, as its athletic director and football coach, hoped he would soon make them forget both unhappy recollections.
Praised by the late Knute Rockne as the "ideal quarterback," Stuhldreher became head football coach at Villanova after graduation in 1925, turned out hard-playing, fast-moving teams which in eleven years won 66 games, lost 25, tied nine.
Two of the teams which his new charges have to face next autumn are Notre Dame, piloted by Elmer Layden, another of the Four Horsemen, and Purdue, coached by Noble Kizer, who played guard on that same famed eleven.

During the fall I had scrimmaged against the freshmen at least once when three of the future Horsemen were involved: Stuhldreher, Don Miller, and Jim Crowley.
He was called on an off-tackle play to the longside of the field and forced wide so that I had an early crack at him.
The degree of that deprivation is more than suggested by his 1924 passing record: thirty-three attempts, twenty-five completions, for an average Of.788, a fabulous percentage I have never seen or heard expressly recognized in pertinent commentary.
