In their second year under head coach Timothy F. Larkin, the team compiled a 4–4 record. Daniel J. Triggs was the team captain.[1]

After three years of sharing its home field with the college's baseball team, Holy Cross' football team moved its home games to a new stadium, also called Fitton Field, beyond the baseball team's right-field fence.

Mayor James Logan was present to blow the first whistle at the September 25 debut of the new football stadium on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.[2]
