I was actually looking for the results of previous games through the internet and was not able find anything before the 90's. Where is your source? I have the results for most of the 90s but I won't steal your thunder by posting them (actually I was on the losing end a number of times, so I'd rather forget it).

I am impressed with the stats...are you getting this from yearbooks? I've spent some time searching the web and I can't find any of that info.
