The university's website notes that 1933 team captain Robert Haphey had the team's mascot named in his honor during the prior season. The team had procured an actual wildcat, and decided to name it after "the first player to score for NH." Haphey earned that honor, and the wildcat was given his nickname, Skippy. [15] Haphey served in the United States Army from 1934 to 1960, retiring as a lieutenant colonel with service in World War II and the Korean War—he died in November 1989 at age 81. [16]
