Formerly the matter was always under discussion, and no enthusiastic response to numerous exhortations was ever evident during the latter years of the old system.

Leslie, who played for the first time since the Williams game, was strong...
...worked with an eye to the future. In material also the team was well off, for there remained men for every position who had had experience on the University eleven. These two factors have combined to produce an intelligent football machine which is perhaps the strongest that has ever represented Harvard. Beside displaying unusual physical power, the 1910 team has maintained the highest average academic standing of any eleven in the history of the University.
