Team photo
The “YanCon 10-1” text below the photo is incorrect. The team's Yankee Conference record was 11-1. Unsure why the team is still wearing the Redmen shorts, as by this season UMass Athletics had changed their mascot name to Minutemen.
Not sure why Peter Trow is listed within the stats, but not in the roster or team photo. Will try to clear that up.
Schedule
This was seen in The Daily Collegian on 11/29/1973.1) At least one game (at New Hampshire) was rescheduled after this printing.
