Manager: John E. Davis, class of 1914

Each of the above players, except members of the class of 1914 (Brackett, Reardon, and Woodman), appeared in a list of varsity letter winners in the school's 1916 yearbook.[14] As the policy of this era was to award varsity letters to 13 players plus the team's student manager,[15] and the 1916 yearbook summarized two seasons of football play (as no 1915 yearbook was published),[16] it is inferred that Brackett, Reardon, Woodman, and Davis also received letters.

Team captain Brackett was inducted to the UNH Athletics Hall of Fame in 1982.[18]
