I came across some old copies of the Deaver Sentinel newspaper last week in the library, and in doing so I was able to add a lot of information about Deaver-Frannie’s seasons in 1947 and 1948. The following games were added:
A 62-24 loss to Meeteetse on Sept. 26, 1947
A 26-18 loss to Cowley on Oct. 8, 1947
A 39-0 loss to Byron on Oct. 31, 1947
A 49-7 loss to Byron on Oct. 3, 1948
I also found the date (Oct. 17, 1947) for the game between Meeteetse and Deaver-Frannie, the location for the Oct. 24, 1947, game between Deaver-Frannie and Byron (it was in Byron) and the location for the Sept. 17, 1948, game between Deaver-Frannie and Cowley (it was in Cowley).
I also corrected the score for Deaver-Frannie’s 38-0 victory over Meeteetse on Sept. 24, 1948; I had originally listed 28-0.
I also added canceled games scheduled between Deaver-Frannie and Cowley on Nov. 7, 1947, and between Deaver-Frannie and Burlington on Nov. 11, 1948.
Also, courtesy of the Deaver paper, I added Meeteetse’s 6-0 victory over Cowley on Oct. 3, 1947.
The new findings also caused some changes to the streaks page. Meeteetse’s 22-game losing streak in this time frame was chopped down to 19, and therefore taken off the page. Byron’s winning streak from 1946-50 also grew by two games, now reaching 24 according to my current research.
The Byes Project also produced one more game: Hulett’s 26-0 victory over Buffalo, S.D., on Sept. 9, 1960.
All those corrections have been made on all the relevant pages.
Speaking of the Byes Project, it’s going fairly well. After starting with close to 800 dates to check from 1960-forward, I’m down to about 180ish. There are some seasons on which I am struggling, though, where I’ve exhausted my available resources. I’d appreciate some help finding more information on the following seasons:
Big Horn’s 1965 season
Burlington’s 1962 season
Douglas’ 1965 season
Dubois’ 1968 season
Goshen Hole’s 1966 season
Guernsey’s 1962 season
Guernsey-Sunrise’s 1963 season
Hanna’s 1965 season
Hulett’s 1964, 1965 and 1981 seasons
Lyman’s 1965 season
Meeteetse’s 1965 and 1995 seasons
Mountain View’s 1962 and 1965 seasons
Ten Sleep’s 1962 and 1963 seasons
Tongue River’s 1961 and 1963 seasons
If you think you might be able to help me out with those seasons, let me know and I’ll let you know what I’m looking for specifically. My e-mail address is pschmiedt@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Patrick,
I’ll try and get in touch with someone to check the old Guernsey yearbooks and see if there is any info on the games in there (if that’s a credible enough source for you). I’ll do some asking of people who were around then also.
Karl
Sounds good, Karl. Yearbook info would definitely help. Shoot me an e-mail if you want the specifics of what I’m trying to find for Guernsey. Thanks!
