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. 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.
The first two games of the 1895 season – against OAC and Willamette – were regarded as exhibition practice games, the final two contests being official conference games that were part of the "league series."
They finished the season with a record of four wins and zero losses (4–0), winning the OIFA's pennant.
