The game against Saint Anselm was the third-ever meeting between the two programs; their prior games had been in 1894 (won by Saint Anselm) and in 1898 (won by New Hampshire).[16] New Hampshire's field goal in the Harvard game was the only time the Wildcats scored against the Crimson in seven games played from 1929 to 1939, as Harvard outscored New Hampshire by a total of 282–3 in those contests.[18] New Hampshire and Dartmouth would not meet again until 1956.[19]
