The 362nd Infantry Regiment Officers team represented Camp Lewis prior to the formation of the 91st Division All-Star team during the 1917 season. While there were just over 100 officers in the regiment, several were former college football or rugby stars and a number had played college football. Four team members also played for the 91st Division All-Star team. Three team members were killed in action during the assault on Gesnes on September 29, 1918. Ten others were wounded in action during WWI.

The 362nd Officers' biggest game was a 0-0 tie versus Washington State in a highly-promoted fundraiser that attracted 15,000 spectators. The team finished the season with a 2-0-1 record. Their game-by-game results follow.
