    The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[2] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  2. [b]
    The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  3. [c]
    For additional detail, see Early history of American football#Scoring table.
  4. [d]
    College Football Data Warehouse lists the score as 25–0, but New Hampshire's media guide and a game recap in The New Hampshire both state 26–0.
