Open practices were organized, with team selection to be made by a committee of the school's athletic association."Coast Colleges: Pullman College: Football Team Organized and Ready for Practice," Seattle Post-Intelligencer, vol. 30, no. 191 (Oct. 4, 1896), p. 6. Challenges were received from the University of Washington at Seattle as well as Iowa State College, the latter of which was attempting to organize a West Coast tour for early December. "Several of the old players have not returned, but a number of other old players from other schools are here and will keep up the average of the team," a special report from Pullman published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer noted.
