Lowell Textile's win over New Hampshire snapped a 22-game losing streak the Millmen were on, dating back to October 1935. In 16 contests between New Hampshire and Lowell Textile, played during 1912–1941, the 1938 game was the only Wildcat loss.

Team captain Paul Horne set two Wildcat records in the Saint Anselm game, which still stand; most punts in a game (17) and most punting yardage in a game (527).
