The 1918 Western Reserve football team represented Western Reserve University—now known as Case Western Reserve University, during the 1918 college football season. The team's coach was Frank A. Yocum.[1] Originally Wooster was on the schedule, but due to the Spanish flu, Oberlin College was played a second time to fill the cancellation.[2] The Michigan Agricultural game was cancelled due to the team having to go into quarantine.[3]
