The USMC Portsmouth team was composed of Marine Corps personnel working at the Portsmouth Naval Prison in nearby Kittery, Maine.[4] While contemporary news reports and The Granite yearbook described it as a "practice game",[1][4] the result is listed by College Football Data Warehouse and the Wildcats' media guide.[12]

The 1922 game remains the only time that the New Hampshire and Cornell football programs have met.[13] New Hampshire and Massachusetts (commonly known as UMass since the late 1940s) next met in 1952.[14] New Hampshire and Army next met in 2008.[15]

Notes

  1. [a]
    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]
    This was Cowell's 8th year and 7th season as head coach, as the school did not field a varsity team in 1918 due to World War I.
  4. [d]
    Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[3]
