Well Known Purdue Football Player Marries an Heiress.

Harry G. Leslie, a well known Lafayette young man and a former football star, has just married an heiress. Leslie coached the west side high school team and was here two years ago when that team cleaned up Rensselaer. The Lafayette correspondent to the Indianapolis Star has the following to say about the marriage: Harry G. Leslie, the only man that ever had the distinction of captaining a Purdue football and basket ball team in the same year, and Miss Martha Morgan, heiress to a large fortune, were secretly married Tuesday evening at the country home of the bride, seven miles north of this city. Leslie was graduated from Purdue in 1905, and played on the football and baseball teams for three years, being captain of both teams in 1902. When the Purdue special was wrecked at Eighteenth street in Indianapolis, Oct. 31, 1903, he was one of the worst injured, and was confined in St. Vincent’s hospital in Indianapolis for seven months with a broken hip and arm and a fractured jaw.
