Led by second-year head coach Bill Warner, the Webfoots compiled an overall record of 3–2 with a mark of 2–1 in conference play, tying for second place in the Northwest Conference.[1][2] Oregon played home games at Kincaid Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Oregon did not meet rival Oregon Agricultural of Corvallis. The unexpected death of guard Virgil Noland caused the cancellation of the Idaho game on November 25.[3][4]
