Notes

  1. ^ Contemporary sources from 1915 reported the tie game as a New Hampshire win, and one loss as being a practice game; this would yield a 4–5 record.
  2. The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926; before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  3. The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  4. For additional detail, see Early history of American football#Scoring table.
  5. The New Hampshire referred to the contest against Fort McKinley as a practice game, and the result is absent from the season summary in The Granite yearbook.
  6. Contemporary newspapers and The Granite yearbook reported a 14–13 victory for New Hampshire.
