Team History

The first Oregon football team was very successful and played on the field that is now the site of the University's Computing Center and Gilbert Hall. Years later, in 1908, the first permanent field, Kincaid Field named after the landowner Harrison Kincaid, was built. This represented a great improvement because it met all the players' needs and made money for the football program at the University. After the war players began to come back to Oregon football and a new home field. Hayward Field was the new attraction for the Oregon fans and players. This new stadium would bring in lots of new fans and attract more recruits. While playing at Hayward Field the Webfoots traveled to two Rose Bowls. Oregon was taking a new step in 1927, changing their name from the Webfoots to the Ducks and wearing new colors, Emerald green and Lemon yellow. They received their first nine-win season.^[3]
