The 1895 Oregon Webfoots football team was an American football team that represented the University of Oregon in the 1895 college football season. [1] It was the Webfoots' second season. They were led by head coach Percy Benson, previously a star player for the University of California team.

Contents

The Webfoots were part of a five-team conference called the Oregon Intercollegiate Football Association, which met in Salem on October 5, 1895, to elect officers, establish official rules, and set a schedule for the year. [2] Other members of the conference included Oregon Agricultural College in Corvallis, Portland University (a short-lived private school which closed in 1900), Pacific University in Forest Grove, and Willamette University in Salem. [2]

The first two games of the 1895 season – against OAC [3] and Willamette [4] – were regarded as exhibition practice games, the final two contests being official conference games that were part of the "league series." [5]

They finished the season with a record of four wins and zero losses (4–0), winning the OIFA's pennant.
