In their second year under head coach Frank Cavanaugh, the team compiled a 2–5–2 record. Timothy F. Larkin was the team captain.[1]

According to college records, Holy Cross played all of its home games at Holy Cross Field on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.[1] Contemporary reports suggest that one of the home games, a heavily hyped October 22 date with Dartmouth, may have been played at the team's former home stadium off campus, the Worcester Oval.[2]
