â¡ New Hampshire and the Quantico Marines practiced together in Durham for two weeks in September,[16] including a scrimmage on September 18.[17] The game played on September 25 was won by the Marines, 24â0.[18][19] The game is not listed by the Wildcats' media guide or College Football Data Warehouse,[20][15] possibly because players for the Marines were members of the active military rather than college students.[21]
Notes
- This was Cowell's 12th year and 11th season as head coach, as the school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
- Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[2]
