The November 21 loss to the Unity Athletic Club was reported in The Portsmouth Herald, but is absent from other sources.

Contemporary sources are clear that the Andover game was played in Massachusetts;[2] modern sources list the site as Durham. Team captain Lewis suffered a broken leg in the game.[1]

The original schedule for the team, as published in October 1900, included two games against the University of Maine;[18] however, the first Maine–New Hampshire game would not occur until 1903.[19]

The New Hampshire second team (reserves) defeated Dover High School, 11–6, in a game played in Durham on November 15.[20]
