Games missing from our records

Wikipedia’s season article and Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1921) list five games of USC’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. The guide gives no dates or sites, so the games only it gives have none here. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.
