The season ended with a blowout home loss to Washington State on November 22, two weeks before the Attack on Pearl Harbor. In April 1942, university president Father Leo J. Robinson announced that Gonzaga was suspending its intercollegiate football program for the duration of World War II. Robinson stated the loss of numerous football players and prospect to military service made further competition impossible. The program had been in financial difficulty, and varsity football was not resumed after the war.
