1922 Kansas State Wildcats football team
The 1922 Kansas State Agricultural College Wildcats football team represented Kansas State Agricultural College in the college football season of 1922. 1922 saw the Wildcats finish with a record of 5 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties, and a 3-1-2 record in Missouri Valley Conference play.
The team's head football coach was future Hall-of-Famer Charlie Bachman. The Wildcats played their home games in brand new Memorial Stadium, which opened that year. Before the season started, Coach Bachman arranged for a live wildcat to be kept on the sidelines of the new stadium as team mascot. The wildcat was named "Touchdown," and the live mascot started a tradition that lasted over fifty years, until it was ended in the 1970s with the death of "Touchdown VIII."
At the conclusion of the season, guard Ray Hahn was named a first team All-American by Grantland Rice, becoming the first football player in school history to be so honored.
