In their first year in the conference, [1] UCLA traveled to Moscow in late October and fell, 20–6. [2] [3] It was UCLA's only loss in the seven-game series; the teams have not met since 1948. Idaho's only other win over a PCC team from the state of California came in 1947 at Stanford. [4]

The week after the win over UCLA was the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, [5] and the visiting Cougars inflicted a 26–0 homecoming shutout before 10,000; [6] the teams had tied the previous season in Pullman. [7] [8] Prior to the start of the game, the new Memorial Gymnasium was presented to the university; [6] the venue honors state residents who gave their lives in the service of their country in World War I. [9] [10] [11]

Amid speculation about his future at Idaho, [12] Erb resigned on December 22, four weeks after the season's completion. [13] He was succeeded by Leo Calland, a USC assistant coach and former player for the Trojans. [14] [15]
