Notes
^ This was Cowell's 17th year and 16th season as head coach, as the school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
^ New Hampshire's varsity record in 1931 was 7–2.

[1] College Football Data Warehouse also lists a tied game, against
Saint Anselm ;
[3] however, contemporary news reports are clear that it was New Hampshire's freshman team that played Saint Anselm.
