The 1931 game remains the last time that the Brown and New Hampshire football programs have met.[19]

New Hampshire captain Richard Eustis was inducted to the university's athletic hall of fame in 1983.[20] Eustis, who died in 1969 at the age of 62, served as athletic director at nearby Exeter High School,[21] where the school named its football field after him in 1970.[22]

Notes

  1. [a]
    This was Cowell's 17th year and 16th season as head coach, as the school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
  2. [b]
    New Hampshire's varsity record in 1931 was 7–2.[2][1] College Football Data Warehouse also lists a tied game, against Saint Anselm;[3] however, contemporary news reports are clear that it was New Hampshire's freshman team that played Saint Anselm.[4]
  3. [c]
    Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[5]
  4. [d]
    Lowell Textile is now University of Massachusetts Lowell.
