The 1901 New Hampshire football team[b] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[c] during the 1901 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The team finished with a record of 0–6, and did not score any points during the season.

Schedule

[edit]

Scoring during this era awarded five points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and five points for a field goal. Teams played in the one-platoon system and the forward pass was not yet legal. Games were played in two halves rather than four quarters.

The team's original schedule had included games against Burdett College, Tufts, and MIT.[2]

The October 2 contest was the first game of the Dartmouth–New Hampshire football rivalry.[17]

In addition to the varsity games listed above, New Hampshire's second team (reserves) defeated South Berwick Academy, 11–6,[18] and lost to a team of Exeter Academy juniors, 23–0.[19] A team of New Hampshire freshmen defeated Newmarket High School, 22–0.[20]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ While no coach is listed in the University's media guide, The New Hampshire College Monthly made several mentions of a coach, W. R. Crowell, "an ex-Dartmouth football player."[1]
  2. ^ The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[3] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  3. ^ The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
