Reformer:
"Cubs take first round of playoffs. Win second game from Port
Colborne by score of 10-3. Geddes and Marchant lead scoring -- play with
only three subs."
The same issue's report of the first game of that series included:
"Reformer Cubs turn back Ports by score of 7-3 ... Marchant and
Geddes collect total of 5 goals and 6 assists. Atherton in fine
form." From
the 13 Mar 1939 Simcoe Reformer:
"Cubs battled to tie with Milton ... each team chalks up four goals
in game played here. Geddes leads local lads with 3 counters. Gilmore gets
4th. Atherton good in nets." From
the 16 Mar 1939 Simcoe Reformer:
"Milton eliminates Cubs by 7-2, take round 11-6. Local juniors
no match for Brickmen in second game in Galt ... excellent record ...
Geddes and Atkinson score Cubs goals." |
