The University of Notre Dame's 1924 Football "Wonder Team" & The Four Horsemen  with  Jim Lefebvre, Green Bay Native and Executive Director Knute Rockne Memorial Society 

The year is 1924.  Football fever is sweeping America.  There were three products of Green Bay on the most famous team in the nation, Notre Dame.  Jim Crowley, one of the Four Horsemen, along with Red Hearden and Os Geniesse, all halfbacks from Green Bay East High, would lead Notre Dame on to win the Rose Bowl against Stanford.  Crowley went on to have an active football career, including coaching at Fordham University when Vince Lombardi was one of the "Seven Blocks of Granite".

Green Bay native Jim Lefebvre, returns home to tell the story of this remarkable team, and all the Green Bay connections.
