Head coach Herbert Snow, from the 1934 yearbook of Wellesley High School

The 1944 New Hampshire Wildcats football team represented the University of New Hampshire in the 1944 college football season. The Wildcats were led by first-year head coach Herbert Snow and completed the season with a record of 1–3.[3] The team played its home games at Lewis Field (also known as Lewis Stadium) in Durham, New Hampshire.

Background

New Hampshire had not fielded a team in 1943, due to World War II.[4][3] In mid-September 1944, university administrators approved an "informal" team, limited to four games, with a roster consisting of 17-year-olds and returning veterans.[5] The program's most recent head coach, Charles M. Justice, had entered the Navy in April 1944.[6] Selected as his successor was Herbert Snow, a Springfield College graduate who had been the head coach at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts.[5] The team began practices in early October,[2] with only one player from their 1942 squad—Claude Henry, a reserve back who had returned to the university after serving in the Marine Corps.[2]
