Horseman to Wisconsin

The University of Wisconsin has not yet forgotten the 38-to-3 licking which Notre Dame's famed Four Horsemen inflicted on its football team in 1924. Still more difficult to forget is the fight between Football Coach Clarence Wiley Spears and Athletic Director Walter Ernest Meanwell, which ended last February in the dismissal of both (TIME, Feb. 24) and the threatened expulsion of Wisconsin from the Big Ten Conference. 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.
