...second game, the presence of Clifford and Palmer in the opposing forward line caused the play to become more even and there was little choice between the two teams. Houston played an effective game at cover point and used the side boards to good advantage. Owing to the rapid following back of the opposing offence, the University forwards were able to get loose very seldom. The University team lined up as follows: l.e., Childs, Pierce; l.c., Duncan; r.c., Huntington; r.e., Seamans; c.p., Houston; p., Blackall, g., Chadwick...

Its steady yet rapid development shows how well in the past two years he has 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...
