Games missing from our records

Wikipedia’s season article and Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide (1918) list three games of Villanova’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. Where two sources give a game alike (both teams’ articles or records, or an article and the guide), both are named.
