The Colby game was cancelled due to snow.[7]

New Hampshire's 14 points against Brown broke a string of seven consecutive shutouts by the Bears; the Wildcats had last scored on Brown in their first-ever game, in 1905.[17]

Notes

1. The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[2] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
2. This was Cowell's 11th year and 10th season as head coach, as the school did not field a varsity team in 1918 due to World War I.
3. Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[5]
