Autograph of Don Miller, Right Halfback of Notre Dame’s Four Horsemen.
Lot 127. Autograph of Don Miller, Right Halfback of Notre Dame’s Four Horsemen. Miller’s autograph is the most difficult among the Four Horsemen to obtain. This example is a gem mint 10 personalized to “Joe” on an unlined index card and authenticated and encased by PSA-DNA. Although Miller was the most productive runner among the Four Horsemen, he was the last admitted to the College Hall of Fame (1970). He died in 1979. Although he led the national champion 1924 Notre Dame team in rushing, he was the only Four Horseman not selected as an All-American that year. He left South Bend second only to George Gipp in rushing. In 2001, he was 14th on the school’s all-time list. Following graduation, Miller played for one season with the Providence Steam Roller. For several years, he coached part-time while pursuing a career in law. In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt appointed him U.S. District Attorney for Northern Ohio.
