But you have to give credit to the Gregory boys, Doug and Ken. … Both played fine games.” Orchids coach Bob Pollock told the Hamilton Spectator “I guess that Calgary game took too much out of us. But it wouldn’t be fair to say that just because Victoria played great ball. That is a tremendous team and they certainly deserved the win. No doubt about it.” No team scored more than 60 points against Victoria in the tourney.
