The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame

March 22, 2011 in General

The history of American football is full of drama, surprises and just a touch of bravado.  Take for example the four players who made up the backfield of the University of Notre Dame’s 1924 football team.  The four now immortalized players were under the tutelage of the legendary Knute Rockne. The term ‘four horseman’ was coined by sportswriter Grantland Rice, known for his poetic style, and given an extra boost of publicity by a quick-thinking and clever student publicity aid. These two efforts combined to create what becam the most mythical quartet in football history, known as the ‘Four Horsemen of Notre Dame.”

The four players, quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, left halfback Jim Crowley, right halfback Don Miller, and fullback Elmer Layden had been decimating their opposition since 1922 when Rockne first put the four together. Both in 1922 and 1923 Notre Dame only lost two games, one each year, both to Nebraska in Lincoln.

Despite their amazing talent, to achieve the immortality that these talented boys deserved they needed a bit of help from two directions. Grantland Rice was a sportswriter for the New York Herald Tribune.  Rice wrote a famous piece after witnessing the upset victory of Notre Dame over the excellent Army team in 1924 on October 18 by a score of 13-7.

“Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction, Pestilence, and Famine. But those are aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller 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.”

Next step was the famous photo. George Strickler was Rockne’s student publicity aide at the time who later became a sports editor of the Chicago Tribune. When the team returned to South Bend Strickler posed the four in their uniforms on horseback. The wire services pounced on the photo thus sealing the fate and immortality of the four.

“At the time, I didn’t realize the impact it would have,” Crowley said later. “But the thing just mushroomed. After the splurge in the press, the sports fans of the nation got interested in us along with other sportswriters. Our record helped, too. If we’d lost a couple. I don’t think we would have been remembered.”

A convertible form of a dining table is the one that has a section that is known as blade, which can be inserted between the halves of the dining table when they are separated, thus achieving additional space so that more people can sit down. Types of Wood tables are manufactured tables in all types for all applications. There are dining tables appropriate for a formal dining room and others more suitable for a rustic kitchen area. Coffee tables are placed in classrooms so that visitors have a place where to place their drinks or residents where to place their books and magazines. Side tables flanking the sofas or chairs as places for placing lamps, more material for reading and even hobbies. The consoles are often placed behind a sofa or against a wall, as a place to display the personal collections of the owner.

There are desks, sewing tables and tables for hobbies, any of them may be made of wood. The wooden tables are used in any room, in offices, homes, libraries, schools, anywhere where it is needed a surface flat to work. Why use wood tables? The wood is considered an ideal material for making tables because it resists decomposition. The well-made wooden tables are extremely durable, they require little maintenance and are resistant to damage, chipping and putrefy. What’s more, the wooden tables are particularly beautiful when they are well done and kept polished, often reflecting the light around the room. The wooden tables are also provided for various types of decoration, adding an aesthetic appeal to any interior design. Types of wood used to manufacture wooden tables tables can be fabricated from any type of wood.

Some of the more popular include oak, mahogany, maple, cedar, rosewood, teak, pine and ebony. Often people believe that bamboo tables are made of wood, but bamboo is really not wooden, if not a type of woody herb that is durable and workable. Process of manufacturing wood is considered an active material, in other words, responds to the skill of the craftsman. Only wood that has been dried and properly acclimatized should be used to manufacture wooden tables. Since the wood retains moisture, of course, to the used to build a table, wood that has not been thoroughly dried, you can have as a result a cabinet that will buckle as the moisture to escape and the wood to shrink over time. Once built and decorated with designs chosen by the artisan, the wooden tables are supplemented with a variety of finishes. These may include oil, wax, varnish, lacquer, veneer and oil-based finishes.
