The 1914 New Hampshire football team[b] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[c] during the 1914 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923.

Under first-year head coach Thomas D. Shepherd, a former player for Maine,[4] the team finished with a record of 1–6–2. The team was limited to five points for the season,[5] scoring only one safety[6] and one field goal (via drop kick).[7] The team was shutout seven times, although two of those games were scoreless ties.

Schedule

[edit]

During this era, teams played in the one-platoon system. Scoring values were consistent with the present day: six points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and three points for a field goal.[d]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Corriveau was killed in action in France in 1918 while serving in the United States Marine Corps.[2]
  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.
  4. ^ For additional detail, see Early history of American football#Scoring table.
  5. ^ Surname erroneously listed as Sweet in the season summary.
  6. ^ Listed as A. N. Hazen in the season summary, which appears to be erroneous.
