The 1938 Western Washington Vikings football team was an American football team that represented Western Washington State College (later renamed Western Washington University) of Bellingham, Washington, as a member of the Washington Intercollegiate Conference (WINCO) during the 1938 college football season. In their seventh year under head coach Charles Lappenbusch, the Vikings compiled a perfect 7–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 98 to 30.[1][2]
The 1938 team was the first to win a conference championship in Western Washington football history.[3] It also remains the only team in Western Washington's 100-plus history to complete a full football season without a loss or tie.[4]
Western Washington challenged San Jose State to a postseason game in California, but the challenge was not accepted.[5]
Western Washington was one of several teams, including Tennessee, TCU, West Tennessee State, Western Reserve, and Maryville, to complete the 1938 season without a loss or tie.[6]
The team played its home games at Battersby Field in Bellingham.
