Games missing from our records

Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1918) lists three games of Swarthmore’s 1917 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. The guide gives no dates or sites, so these games have none here. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.
