Washington Agricultural College began fielding a football team in 1894. They played their first ever game against the University of Idaho, who they beat 10-0. They then lost to Spokane High School and finished the season with a 1-1 record. Washington Agricultural changed their name to Washington State College in 1905 (they would not become Washington State University until 1959).
