In its first and only year under head coach Harry von Kersburg, the team compiled a 3–6 record. Wilfred Metivier was the team captain.[1]

The season began with a tragedy, as Vernon S. Belyea, a junior halfback at Norwich University, was paralyzed while running back a Holy Cross punt at Fitton Field, and later died. Belyea suffered a fractured sixth vertebra after being tackled by Holy Cross' captain, Metivier.[2] Belyea was taken to Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester, where he died the following day.[3]

Holy Cross played its home games at Fitton Field on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.
