American college football season
The 1916 Oregon Webfoots football team represented the University of Oregon in the 1916 college football season . It was the Webfoots' 24th overall and first season as a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC). The team was led by head coach Hugo Bezdek , in his fourth year, and played their home games at Kincaid Field in Eugene and at Multnomah Field in Portland .
Oregon finished the season with a record of seven wins, zero losses and one tie (7–0–1 overall, 2–0–1 in the PCC) and with a victory over Penn in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day .
This was first Oregon football team to play to the school's Mighty Oregon fight song, which was first performed on January 7, 1916.[ 1]
In 2016 the Oregon Ducks wore Webfoot throwback jerseys in their game vs. Washington to celebrate the 100th anniversary of both the fight song and the 1916 squad.[ 2]
