young fellows whose capabilities
seemed to fit perfectly.
Given those things to start,
there was Rockne patience and
Rockne inspiration to lead them
on-and the result was greatness.
They were not big chaps, they
were not powerful, and they were
not endowed with undue genius,
but they did work hard-and
more than that they believed in
Rockne and themselves, and they
kept their sense Of humog and
proportion.
Layden, Crowley, Stuhldrehef
and MilIer-Layden, the rapier;
Stuhldreher. the quarterback
who seemed to be psychic;
Crowley, who fled through
broken field like water between
brook stones; Miller, the unOr-
thOdOx and the daring. That's
ROckne's own description, ana
it's aS Fit as o tailored glove.
Back there in 1923 there prob
ably was no more serious group
Of football men ever brought
together than these four lads.
Later, when fame had come and
they knew they had made good,
they relaxed-their sense OF
humor asserted itself and they
began to grin at their achieve
ments.
Looking back at them now
of course, they appear a ready
made answer to coach's prayer
But they weren't. Not by O
parasang, or a flock Of para.
Sangs. It took the genius OF
Rockne to develop them, and
once developed it took the genius
Of ROckne to keep them from
getting what the boys generally
term high hat"
It was q critical moment FOL
Rockne and for Notre Danes
football team when the -Four
Horsemen" became so widely pub
licized, There was the fear OF
jealousy on the part Of the other
members of the team-"the seven
mules" who did so much to make
the backfield deeds possible
There was the danger Of "in
flated ego" on the part of the
four men themselves. That II
didn't develop and that the team
continued as unit rather than
a group of stars is mute evidence
of Rockne's genius.

C. Frick's life story of KnutC
Rockne will appear in tomorrow

V|ERS SENIOR
ROLLS BIC SET

Noble Viers' father decided that
it was time to show the world
that Noble, jr., wasn't the only
bowler in the family.
He demonstrated this with O
resounding bang the other day
by pounding out four powerful
games, IT'S, lit, 173 and 1873 for
a four-game total of 6O3. His
first three games summed up to
465.
He was rolling doubles with
John Moore, publisher Of the
new bowling weekly, The Duck
pin, as a partner. Their Op-
pOnentS were at first Mooney
and Gordon, and then Bin Gar
trell and Peck.
After the fourth game their
opponents decided to call 1t
day. Moore and Viers had q 29S
game, when VierS rolled 173 and
Moore 1875. They totaled 8O8 for
their first three games, $50, $50
and 298.
Arcade Laundrymen defeated
the Corby Bakers by 257 pins in
q special post season home and
home match, in which the Cloth
wringerS won both halves. King
led the victory with a 61O set.

"The Four HorSemen sitting

that November afternoon, cold,
tired, chilled to the bone, and
with edition time looming, Grant

he knew. I never heard Grant
comment, but I doubt If he real
lied that afternoon that he had
coined a phrase which would
make Notre Dame famous. ]
doubt If he even gave it a
thought. 1t was an apropos line
and he used it. And q nation
took it up.
The Four Horsemen were the
most publicized players who ever
trod an American gridiron. They
were good, too, though 1t Is doubt
full If they were the best team
Rock'ne ever coached. Certainly
in the fall Of 1923, when the four
Of them first stepped into var.
sity uniform, there was nothing
about their play to foreten the
greatness they would know three
years later.
Not Impressed
In writing his life stroy in Col
ier's last fall, Knute Rockne
dwelt ct some length on that now
famous aggregation. And he ad
mitted that he himself was not
particularly impressed by the foul
young men who later were to at
tain so much fame and so much
publicity.
'Tt was not an inspiring prac-
tice 10 watch" ROckne wrote,
In telling the first time he saw
the four lads together. Even

streak, ran quite as often into

Yet three years later fifty
thousand Wild-eyed New York
fans cheered those same boys, as
no quartet had ever before been
cheered in football history.
And the answer WaS-acc1dent
and ROckne.
What o Backfield
The accident was the strange
whimsy of fate which robbed
Rock of an entire backfield at
one time and made it necessary
to rebuild, revamp and revise a
new quartert of regulars at one
and the same time. That plus
the fact that there were four

Although 1t was only few

present "a teams enrolled.
However, most Of these teams
are in "B" and &C" classes.

some Of the younger boys in this
mammoth league. Step UP, boys,
and enter teams in the 20" class.
Teams thus far represented
seem to be covering the entire
city and surrounding territories.
This proves that the interest is
widespread. Boys seem to be re-
alizing the advantages offered by
The Times Junior League.
Even the colored boys are whip

colored loops have submitted four
teams to date. These boys will
be in their own class.
Men Interested
Baseball! Sandlotters! What
does this mean to boys in Wash
tngton? The Washington Times
Junior League Is concerned en-
tirely with the sandlotters. The
older men seem to be as deeply
interested in the work of this
group as the boys.
Richard Fleet, Of the Tele.
phone Company, labels The
Times Tournament one of the
best organized sandlOt leagues
to his knowledge. Mr.. Fleet has
long been connected with boys
camps i'm Maryland.
The quickness of the partici-
pants in entering the Junior
League competition will greatly
benefit the start Of play. In an
earlier paper it was stated that
competition would start some
time in May. But there has been
q demand for an early start. The
entries have been coming in fast
and The Times Junior Baseball
Association predicts that the
league will be under way in the
very near future.
The tickets for the ball party
are available at The Times office.
To obtain these tickets your team
must first be entered. The tickets
are going fast, boys, so get the

to have the boys meet the players
Of both the Athletics and the Sen
