Lowell Textile's win over New Hampshire snapped a 22-game losing streak the Millmen were on, dating back to October 1935.[2] In 16 contests between New Hampshire and Lowell Textile, played during 1912â1941, the 1938 game was the only Wildcat loss.[15]
Team captain Paul Horne set two Wildcat records in the Saint Anselm game, which still stand; most punts in a game (17) and most punting yardage in a game (527).[16]
