West Seattle Athletic Club
On September 28, two weeks after the first practice, the Huskies played their first two games of the 1924 season on the same day. According to local sports reporter, Royal Brougham, they "won both departments of its twin-bill handily, but by no means impressively." The first game of the day was against the West Seattle Athletic Club (West Seattle A.C.). Coach Bagshaw started his first string in this game and defeated West Seattle A.C. by a score of 32-0. George Guttormsen only played half of the game but led the scorers with two touchdowns. Elmer Tesreau and George Wilson also scored touchdowns.

The scoring opened at the end of the first quarter when Mike Hanley drop-kicked a field goal from the 30-yard line. The second quarter yielded all of the four touchdowns in the game. The first was a touchdown pass from halfback Hanley to the quarterback Guttormsen. Hanley kicked the extra point, or "try-for-point goal" in the terminology of the era. Next, came a rushing touchdown by Tesreau that was set up by a 30-yard pass from Hanley to Wilson. The extra point was not successful due to an off-side penalty. The third touchdown came on a 30-yard run off the right tackle by Guttormsen. The extra point was blocked. The last touchdown came just before half time on a run by Wilson. Guttormsen added the extra point. The final points of the game came on a place-kick field goal in the 3rd quarter by Douglas Kirk who had substituted for Guttormsen.

Washington scoring: touchdowns by Guttormsen (2), Wilson, and Tesreau; field goals by Hanley and Kirk; extra points by Hanley and Guttormsen.

The Washington starters were Roy Seivers (left end), Ed Kuhn (left tackle), Ed McRae (left guard), Chalmers Walters (center), Vern Bellman (right guard), Harold Erickson (right tackle), Jud Cutting (right end), George Guttormsen (quarterback), George Wilson (left halfback), Mike Hanley (right halfback), Elmer Tesreau (fullback).

This was the first of three times that the University of Washington played football against West Seattle A.C. The Huskies won all three match ups.

USS Maryland
The second game played on September 28 was against the football team from the battleship USS Maryland. The "Fighting Mary" was based out of San Pedro, California.

Because this second game did not start until 3:30 p.m. it was agreed to shortened the quarters. Coach Bagshaw used reserves in this game as the starters had played in the earlier game. Becket threw passes for two touchdowns in the first quarter. The first touchdown came from a shoe-string catch by Douglas on a 20-yard pass. The second touchdown was a pass to Lang. Shidler added a field goal and a rushing touchdown in the second quarter, and another rushing touchdown was made by Becket to close out the first half. One final touchdown was added by Shaw in quarter three to make the final score 33-0. All five of the extra point attempts following the touchdowns failed.

Washington scoring: touchdowns, Douglas, Lang, H. Becket, Shaw (substituted at full back); field goals, Shidler, no extra points were scored.

The Washington starters were Beck (left end), Bill Petrie (left tackle), Egbert Brix (left guard), Ray Rice (center), Etherington (right guard), Abe Wilson (right tackle), Don Douglas (right end), Douglas Kirk (quarterback), Hugh Becket (left halfback), Harold Shidler (right halfback), Lang (fullback).

This was the only time that the University of Washington played the USS Maryland. However, they have played 14 games against teams from U.S. Navy ships and post a record of 13-1-0.

Willamette University
In a non-conference match up, Coach Baggy's Huskies defeated the Bearcats of Willamette University with eight touchdowns and a field goal. The closest Willamette came to scoring was a missed field goal in the 3rd quarter. Willamette's defense had held Oregon scoreless a week before, but three players that had played in that game had been found ineligible because they had already played their time at McPherson College in Kansas.

Most of Washington's points came from replacement right halfback Harold Shidler. Shidler replaced Parmeter in the second quarter and scored 28 points on four touchdowns and four extra points. On three of the touchdowns, he kicked the extra point after scoring the touchdown.

In the first quarter Harley scored on a 3-yard run over left tackle. He also kicked the extra point. Wilson ran 3 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was missed.

In the second quarter George Wilson ran for a 5-yard touchdown. Following that score Shidler scored the first of his points on the extra point. He then went on to score touchdowns on runs of 9 yards and 3 yards and kicked both extra points.

In the third quarter Hardy from Willamette missed a dropkick field goal from the 30-yard line. Husky halfback Wilson scored on a 3-yard run. Shidler kicked the extra point.

In the fourth quarter Shidler scored two touchdowns on runs of 3 yards and 1 yard. Hanley kicked the first extra point and Shidler the second extra point.

Washington scoring: touchdowns, Hanley, G. Wilson (3), Shidler (4) -- substituted for Parmeter; field goals, Hanley; extra points, Shidler (4).

The Washington starters were Sievers (left end), Kuhn (left tackle), McRae (left guard), Walters (center), Bellman (right guard), Erickson (right tackle), Cutting (right end), Hanley (quarterback), Wilson (left halfback), Parmeter (right halfback), Charleston (fullback).

The Willamette starters were Fasquat (left end), Hartley (left tackle), Sherwood (left guard), Huston (center), Malstrom (right guard), Stohldize (right tackle), Robertson (right end), Isham (quarterback), Post (left halfback), Kramer (fullback).
