CAPACITY CROWD ATTENDS ATHLETIC BANQUET The “Four Horsemen of Notre Dame”—Elmer Layden, Don Miller, Jim Crowley and Harry Stuhldreher—were the featured guests at Milhank's athletic banquet. Mil- bank was very lucky to have such famous guests, as they appeared as a complete group in only six places in the U. S. in 1958. Other places besides Milbank were Dallas, Miami, Pittsburg and Annapolis. The four greats made a hig hit with their comments and football stories.
