Last week when Elmer Layden's troops (three complete teams) trotted into The Bronx's Yankee Stadium for their 26th annual skirmish with Army, 78,000 spellbound spectators watched them. Most of them had never seen either West Point or South Bend, but this was their "Homecoming Game." Notre Dame rooters were proud of their team's record.

But at the end of the game Zuppke's rings were still in order. Zuppke's 25th anniversary year had begun with a small triumph. Score...
...same football field for the first time since the season of 1924 when both were in Notre Dame's backfield, Coaches Elmer Layden of Notre Dame and Harry Stuhldreher of Wisconsin watched Notre Dame win the first game ever played between teams coached by onetime members of the famed "Four Horsemen...
