Washington State was ranked at No. 50 (out of 590 college and military teams) in the final rankings under the Litkenhous Difference by Score System for 1942.[2]
Two home games were played on campus at Rogers Field in Pullman and two in Spokane at Gonzaga Stadium.
The season was Hollingbery's last and marked the longest tenure at the school. Shortly before the start of the 1943 season, the WSC football program (with Idaho and Oregon State), went on hiatus due to World War II, joining Oregon and Montana.[3][4] Two seasons were missed, and Cougar football returned in 1945.
