The 1915 New Hampshire football team[a] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[b] during the 1915 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. Under first-year head coach Butch Cowell,[1] the team finished with a record of 3–6–1.

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.[c]

  3. ^ For additional detail, see Early history of American football#Scoring table.
  4. ^ The New Hampshire referred to the contest against Fort McKinley as a practice game, and the result is absent from the season summary in The Granite yearbook.
