-Ottawa Citizen (Nov 14th, 1932): "Two big 'breaks' swung the issue in favor (sic) of the powerful orange and black-clad aggregation...Early in the first period...Curley Monoghan grabbed the ball on a St. Pat's fumble and travelled 75 yards to give Gladstones a touchdown, the opening points of the game...just when it seemed that St. Pat's were getting somewhere, as they reached the Gladstone 45-yard stripe early in the third quarter, a forward pass was intercepted by Chic Gilliard. The Gladstones backfielder covered 57 yards before being brought down...the newly-crowned champions chalked up their final points when Dune Nesbitt scooted around the right end for another major score."

-Ottawa Citizen (Nov 19th, 1931): "A lion-hearted football team, clad in the familiar green and gold of St. Patrick's College, uncorked an effective aerial offensive in the last period yesterday afternoon on the slippery gridiron at Lansdowne Park to defeat Charlie Lynch's Gladstone and carry off the Ottawa Junior League Championship."
