With my ability to fill in the holes in my research becoming more and more limited by what is available to me in Laramie, I made a quick trip to Cheyenne today to visit the Wyoming State Archives. The microfilm there helped me fill in a big gap in my research — Lingle from 1923 to 1939. The microfilm from the Lingle Review is not available in Laramie, but it’s on hand at the State Archives. Conversely, I added 16 new games for Lingle in this span and patched up numerous gaps in my missing games list. The updates for Lingle and associated teams:

1923: Noted that the Wheatland-Lingle game on Nov. 2 and the Lingle-Guernsey game on Nov. 9 were both canceled.

1928: Noted the location for Lingle’s game with Mitchell, Neb., on Oct. 5 (in Mitchell). … Added Lingle’s 25-0 victory over Lyman, Neb., on Oct. 12 (also added to the missing games list because I couldn’t pin down a location).

1930: Added Lingle’s victory over Guernsey on Oct. 3 (added to missing games list because I couldn’t find a final score). … Added Lingle’s 0-0 tie with Lyman, Neb., on Oct. 10. … Added Lingle’s 20-6 victory over Guernsey on Oct. 17. … Noted the locations for Lingle’s two games with Sunrise, Oct. 24 in Sunrise and Oct. 31 in Lingle.

1934: Noted the score of Lingle’s 73-0 victory over Manville on Sept. 21. … Added the score for Lingle’s 6-0 victory over Guernsey on Oct. 5. … Added the score for Lingle’s 6-0 victory over Sunrise on Oct. 26.

1935: Noted the correct date and location for Lingle’s victory over Lyman, Neb., on Sept. 13 (in Lingle).

1937: Corrected the date for Lingle’s Sept. 10 game with Lyman, Neb. … Noted the correct date for Lingle’s victory over Sunrise on Oct. 6. … Added a canceled game between Guernsey and Lingle on Oct. 15.

1938: Noted that the Sept. 16 game with Guernsey was canceled. … Added the score for Lingle’s 12-6 loss to Sunrise on Oct. 6.

1939: Corrected the score of Lingle’s 33-0 victory over Guernsey on Sept. 29 (I had 30-0). … Noted the date and location for Lingle’s victory over Manville on Oct. 13 (in Lingle). … Added Lingle’s 14-0 loss to the Scottsbluff, Neb., JV on Nov. 4. … Noted that Lingle won its game with Sunrise on Nov. 10 by forfeit, as Sunrise was overrun with a case of the mumps.

I also made a lot of headway with Lingle coaches’ names for the Coaches Project. I now only need Lingle coach names for 1922, 1932 and 1933.

The State Archives also helped me patch some holes for three other seasons: Jackson in 1932, Lovell in 1929 and Powell in 1924.

For Jackson’s 1932 season, I added five new games, all against Idaho schools — a 28-0 loss to Idaho Falls on Sept. 10, a 6-6 tie with Madison on Sept. 23, a 6-0 loss to Ashton on Oct. 8, a 67-6 victory over Driggs on Oct. 21 and a 49-0 victory over Driggs on Oct. 28. I also fixed the score in the game with Star Valley on Oct. 14 to 19-6 in Star Valley’s favor (I had the score transposed, Jackson winning 19-6).

For Lovell’s 1929 season, four games I had listed as missing were not played: games against Cowley on Oct. 11, Nov. 11 and Nov. 28, and a game against Greybull on Nov. 7.

For Powell’s 1924 season, I added a 13-6 loss to Billings, Mont., on Oct. 4, and also added a canceled game with Byron on Oct. 11. I also pinned down the location for Powell’s Nov. 1 game with Lovell (in Lovell).

Updates for Burlington, Cowley, Hanna, Jackson, Shoshoni and Sunrise. See those individual team pages for the new lists and click here to see what I’m still missing.

Also, Mike Mitchell once again was my Torrington connection. He helped me out with the Torrington coaches I was missing for the Coaches Project. Thanks, Mike!

All the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.
