Under first-year head coach Thomas D. Shepherd, a former player for Maine,[4] the team finished with a record of 1–6–2. The team was limited to five points for the season,[5] scoring only one safety[6] and one field goal (via drop kick).[7] The team was shutout seven times, although two of those games were scoreless ties.

Schedule

During this era, teams played in the one-platoon system. Scoring values were consistent with the present day: six points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and three points for a field goal.[d]
