The 1913 New Hampshire football team[a] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[b] during the 1913 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. Under second-year head coach Tod Eberle,[1] the team finished with a record of 2–4.

Schedule

[edit]

During this era, teams played in the one-platoon system. This was the second season using scoring values 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]
