Kansas State Agricultural College again dipped into the Jayhawk well to find a new head coach after the departure of Fay Moulton. Wade Hampton Moore, who hailed from Franklin County, took over the reins of the program.
Moore had lettered twice in baseball and once in football at Kansas, and with the somewhat free-wheeling eligibility rules of the time served as a player-coach for the Aggies. In the season opener on October 7 in Lindsborg, Moore himself kicked two field goals to help KSAC to a 12-5 win over Bethany. A week later, the Aggies posted an 11-0 win over College of Emporia at home.
