The Charlatan reported Waterloo as the victor, with Windsor second and Carleton third, essentially playing a round-robin in which the Ravens finished (3-2), defeating York, Ryerson and Waterloo Lutheran but losing to Waterloo and Windsor. But the Charlatan also reported a different roster than toiled for the Robins all season, i.e., Linda
Wannamaker, Linda Robothon, Gail Smith, Pam Walsh, Juli Cipriani, Nancy Brown, Marg Secord, Judy Stothard and Cathy
Rogers. The Charlatan also reported that the Robins were undefeated in the regular season. Totally confusing.
The Charlatan also reported that its girl’s locker-room had become infested with mice.
