Games missing from our records

Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1910) lists one game of Swarthmore’s 1909 season that CollegeFootballData.com, where this site’s results come from, doesn’t have. It doesn’t count in the record, Elo ratings or series totals here. The guide gives no dates or sites, so this game has none here. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.
