Games missing from our records

Wikipedia’s season articles and Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1921) list five games of Richmond’s 1920 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.
