In 15 contests between New Hampshire and Brown, played during 1905–1931, the 1930 game was the only Wildcat victory.[12]

Wildcat co-captain Herbert Hagstrom would go on to serve as principal and later superintendent of nearby Portsmouth High School; he died in March 1971 at age 62.[13] Co-captain Kenneth Clapp died in September 1959 at age 51; he had served in World War II and worked for Kraft Foods in the Chicago area.[14]

Notes
  1. This was Cowell's 16th year and 15th season as head coach, as the school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
  2. Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[2]
  3. This was a different venue than the like-named Nickerson Field in Boston, used by BU in later years.
  4. Lowell Textile is now University of Massachusetts Lowell.
