The 1909 New Hampshire football team[b] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[c] during the 1909 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. Under first-year head coach Willard Gildersleeve,[4] the team finished with a record of 3–4.

Schedule

Scoring during this era awarded five points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and three points for a field goal.[d] Teams played in the one-platoon system, and games were played in two halves rather than four quarters.

Notes

  1. ^ James M. Leonard had been selected as 1909 captain-elect at the close of the 1908 season, but he did not return to college.[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. ^ A field goal had been worth four points during 1904–1908, and five points in 1903 and earlier.
