  STUHLDREHER RECORD AT VILLAN0VA Team Unbeaten But Tied Once ; Don Miller Goes Big at Georgia Tech LOST ONLY SIX GAMES Crowley Has Bad Year at GeOr. gia; Layden Bosses Them at Duquesne LOST ONLY SIX GAMES | 1t seems a difficult matter to keer the Four Horsemen of a few year: back at Notre Dame out of the read ing columns. Not that anyone want. to, but it does seem as if four fel lows who got as much space as they did as collegians would not be grab. bling much these days. Of course, all of this is unsolicited and comes about from the fact that these four young men are gallopine ahead in the coaching game with just about as much success as they galloped to touchdowns for Knute Rockne and the South Bend institu. ton in 1924. As individuals and as a group they’re doing nicely thank you, and they probably will be doing nicely the next time yoo bring their names up over a cup of coffee. Two Of them are connected with undefeated teams, one is with team that lost only one game in nine played, and the fourth is Jimmy Crowley, whose pay chsck at Georgia wasn’t much this season. One of these young men is trotting back to Pasadena this year to see some Of his pr teges attempt to dc what he and his mates did there in January, 1925-beat a powerful western team. This is Don Miller at Georgia Tech. Miller, Crowley Assistants Miller and Crowley are mere as sistant coaches in charge of the back-field candidates at Georgia Tech and Georgia. Elmer Layden is the boss at Duquesne, team that lost only one game this year, and Harry Stuhldreher is at Villanova and undefeated although tied team of 1923. Had the team with which Crowley is connected with had as nice a season as the ones Miller, Stuhldreher and Layden are with, the Four Horsemen might 1--we set some sort of record for victories this season. AS it is, counting the five socks the Georgia boys took on the chin, the ‘our teams compiled a record of % victories, six losses and one tie for the year. The record of Villanova and Du. quesne answers any question you may ask c,ncerning the ability OF Stuhldreher and Layden as coaches, and the fact that Georgia Tech and Georgia backs as groups are considcred the equal Of just about any you name in the country are enough rec concentrations for Miller and Crow ley. Georgia Tech has one of the most v-tsatile backfields in the country Mt just four Len, but about 10 of them. One Of the lot is an All. America performer, this War,..r Mizell. Stumpy Thomasson is not far behind in ability. You haven’t heard much about Durant, Techs quarterback, nor about Lumpkin and Randolph, fullbacks, nor about those reserves-Faist, Parham, Shulman Dunlap, Horn and Smith. Those subs are good enough, you hear, for many college teams. Don Taught Them And the man who taught them most Of their trickery is Don Miller Before the 1928 season got under. way, it was said Of Georgia’s back. field that it was one of the best ir the country with Johnson, Hooks Dudley and McCrary running regu. larly. Injuries stepped in, line failed to function properly as il should have, and as a result you didn’t hear much about those backs as the season went on. But those backs, behind the line they had ir 1927 with Nash and SILVER on ends would have been heard a-plenty this fall. It is recognized fact that the leaders in this coaching business are those fellows Of long experience like the Warmers and the Rocknes anc the Zuppkes, but there is a tier Of younger fellows just below that group who are coming along-th< I.anleys, Meehans, Wades and Bach. mans, and there’s still another group you might term them the kids Of thu game, that also is getting along IL great shape. Into this last group, along with 10. McKenny at Boston, 30 McMil Ian at Kansas State and the numer. Gus other young coaches throughout the country, the Four Horsemen fall and from the success alread, achieved it seems only a matter q time before their stars will shine higher. But, all hasn’t been said about thu success Of the Four Horsemen q, coaches for the year. The final wore will come on New Years Day al Pasadena when Bill Alexander throws his Miller-coached backfielt against the California eleven.
