Grantland Rice Penned This 90 Years Ago...
This very day...
"Outlined against a blue-gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley 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."
This was published in the New York Herald Tribune on October 18, 1924
I can just see tomorrow's headline in the South Bend Tribune:
"OUTLINED AGAINST AN AUTOGRAPHED OCTOBER SKY..."
