Games missing from our records

Wikipedia’s season article and Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1909) list six games of Dartmouth’s 1908 season that CollegeFootballData.com, where this site’s results come from, doesn’t have. They don’t count in the record, Elo ratings or series totals here. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.

Players on this team

Before 2004 our records hold honors and the draft; these are the players whose college years here, from their Wikipedia articles or their honors, include 1908.
