Notes

  1. The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[1] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  2. The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  3. College Football Data Warehouse identifies the opponent as Newmarket High School, while the Wildcats' media guide[2] and the contemporary The Enaichsee do not specify a high school team.
