Calland was previously a USC assistant coach and a former player for the Trojans, a guard and captain as a senior on the 1922 team that won the Rose Bowl. Raised in Seattle, he was also the head coach of the USC basketball team for two seasons.

In the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, the Cougars won for the second straight year, their first at home in Pullman in eight years.

The Vandals finished the season with a two-game road trip to Los Angeles and Pocatello in southeastern Idaho. Calland's return to USC was harsh, with a 72-point shutout by the Trojans to extend the season's losing streak to five games. The final game on Thanksgiving was a 41–7 win over the Tigers of the university's Southern Branch, today's Idaho State University, but then a two-year school.
