At various times, publications used the term "Professors", "Wampus Cats", "Staters" and "Statesmen". The yearbook "Del Sudoeste" published at the end of the 1924–25 school year notes that January 6, 1925 was the date that "Berry, Schellbach and Osenburg christen college 'Aztecs' ". [1]

The 1922 San Diego State team was led by head coach Charles E. Peterson in his second season as football coach of the Aztecs.
