Notes

  1. [a]
    Contemporary sources from 1915 reported the tie game as a New Hampshire win, and one loss as being a practice game; this would yield a 4–5 record.
  2. [b]
    The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[2] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  3. [c]
    The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  4. [d]
    For additional detail, see Early history of American football#Scoring table.
  5. [e]
    The New Hampshire referred to the contest against Fort McKinley as a practice game, and the result is absent from the season summary in The Granite yearbook.
  6. [f]
    Contemporary newspapers and The Granite yearbook reported a 14–13 victory for New Hampshire.
