Yankee Conference Formed In 1946; UNH Captures Coveted Title Three Years

By Tom Kirkbride With the advent of New Hampshire’s varsity football debut but nine days away from actuality, the Durham freshman is left with little time in which to gather facts about New Hampshire’s athletic affiliations and policies. A sympathetic remembrance of the fall some four years past — when we were freshmen — prompts us to write this epistle, in hopes that it will give those readers who are new to the pages of THE NEW HAMPSHIRE some conversational data prior to game-time, September 26. Speaking for the moment in general (we’ll get specific concerning football Manager Needed later), let it be known that the Uni­ versity of New Hampshire belong to the Yankee Conference in athletics.
