O'Rourke 1, Gardiner 1 | Officials believe this was the youngest Cubs' team ever fielded with, apart from Pannam, the oldest player being 21 and the youngest, 17. Cubs extended their half-time lead of 3 points to 40 points at three quarter time to secure the win | Best: Alan Cooke, Jack Ritchie, Peter Schofield, Ryan, Noel Webster, Leo Canny, Les Flintoff, Alby Pannam, Geoff Harriott, Len Gardiner with Max Stormer's third quarter worthy of mention. | ||

| 4 | W47 | 12.15 87 | Hawthorn 5.10 40 | Schofield 4, Turner 2, Abbott 2, Pannam 2, Albiston 1, Ryan 1 | For a first-up game Bob Gleeson revealed excellent form. His marking, pace and ability to turn either way and kick either foot were naturals. His stabkicking was classical and accurate | Best: Brian Turner, Ken Albiston, Alby Pannam, Len Gardner, Haydn Cooke, Basil O'Rourke, Bob Gleeson (first game), Ron Reiffel, Barry Brown, Ron Irvine, Peter Schofield | ||
| 5 | L17 | 11.12 78 | Collingwood 14.11 95 | Pannam 4, Abbott 2, Webster 1, Schofield 1, O'Rourke 1, Albiston 1, Audas 1 | With only time on to be played and the result in doubt, Cubs were inclined to become excited, but Collingwood remained steady in the crisis. | Best: Alby Pannam, Barry Brown, Ron Reiffel, Len Gardiner, Ron Irvine, Basil O'Rourke, Ken Albiston (until injured) | ||
| 6 | W34 | 15.20 110 | St. Kilda 11.10 76 | Allen 5, Schofield 3, Gardiner 2, Haydn Cooke 2, Albiston 1, Webster 1, Savory 1 | Best: Ron Reiffel, Barry Brown, Tom Allen, Len Gardner, Jack Ritchie, Brian Turner, Max Currie, Gil Savory, Bob Gleeson, Alby Pannam, Noel Webster. | |||
| 7 | W42 | 14.15 99 | Melbourne 7.15 57 | Albiston 5, Pannam 3, Webster 2, Schofield 2, Allen 1, Abbott 1 | Cubs' determination, team work, ruck dominance and stout defence were the main factors in the victory | Best: Max Currie, Tom Allen, Barry Brown, Ron Reiffel, Ken Albiston, Len Gardner, Norm Abbott, Noel Webster, Les Flintoff, Jack Currie, Alby Pannam. | ||
| 8 | L8 | 11.17 83 | Fitzroy 13.13 91 | Schofield 7, Pannam 2, Abbott 1, Nix 1 | Cubs led by 18 points early in the last quarter but Fitzroy finished powerfully | Best: Len Gardiner, John Nix, Peter Schofield, Kevin Dillon, Ron Irvine | ||
| 9 | W12 | 14.17 101 | Geelong 13.11 89 | Schofield 5, Allen 5, Pannam 2, Abbott 2 | In the second quarter, Tom Allen kicked 4 goals with his first 4 kicks of the quarter | Best: Tom Allen, John Nix, Frank Ryan, Peter Schofield, Len Gardner, Brian Turner, Noel Webster, Jack Currie, Basil O'Rourke | ||

| 11 | L10 | 11.7 73 | North Melbourne 12.11 83 | Schofield 4, Allen 3, Webster 1, Pannam 1 Audas 1, Flintoff 1 | Don Meckiff, thirds captain, played his first game with Cubs, and performed creditably | Best: Tom Allen, Barry Brown, Kev Dillon, Frank Ryan, John Nix, Peter Schofield, Bob Gleeson, Jack Ritchie, Ron Reiffel | ||
| 12 | W37 | 10.9 69 | Footscray 4.8 32 | Schofield 8, Pannam 1, Ryan 1 | On a ground that was very heavy and under water in parts, the ruck strength of Wiggins, Gardiner and Currie was vital. Norm Abbott suffered a season ending fractured jaw. | Best: Alby Pannam, Len Gardiner, Max Currie, Bob Wiggins, Brian Boland, Les Flintoff, Jack Ritchie, Basil O'Rourke, Frank Ryan, Peter Schofield, Bob Gleeson | ||
| 13 | W41 | Richmond 12.12 84 | South Melbourne 5.13 43 | Hawking 3, Albiston 3, Savory 2, Ednie 2, Meckiff 1, Pannam 1 | With Schofield's promotion to the Seniors, 19th man Hawking provided a valuable source of goals. The victory and other favourable results, elevated the Cubs to 5th spot, only percentage out of top 4 | Best: Pannam, Alan Cooke, Ron Reiffel, Max Oppy, Gil Savory, Barry Brown, Jack Ritchie, Max Currie (until injured) | ||
| 14 | L14 | 7.13 55 | Carlton 10.9 69 | Albiston 2, Horwood 2, Webster 1, Pannam 1 B.

| 15 | W33 | 14.16 100 | Hawthorn 9.13 67 | Ednie 3, Horwood 2, Webster 2, Clarke 2, H. Cooke 2, Gleeson 1, H. Rowe 1, Richmond 1 | Pannam not recovered from his injury, was 19th man and 21 year old Ron Irvine took over the on field leadership. Despite his injury, Pannam was required as a replacement for an injured Havel Rowe. The win, though not impressive, was meritorious as the Cubs were far from strong with four U19 players playing their first games | Best: Ray Horwood, Ray Ednie, Ron Irvine, Bob Gleeson, Don Meckiff, Frank Ryan, Jack Ritchie, Pat Audas, Graeme Richmond, Graham Cox, Barry Brown | ||
| 16 | W51 | 15.20 110 | Collingwood 8.11 59 | Davis 3, H. Cooke 2, Wiggins 2, Meckiff 2, Gleeson 2, Webster 2, Pannam 1, Nix 1 | Best: Ron Irvine, Jack Ritchie, Don Meckiff, Len Gardner, John Nix, Ray Ednie, Bob Wiggins, Havel Rowe, Bob Gleeson, Frank Ryan | |||

Cooke 3, Webster 2, Wiggins 2, Allen 1, Cox 1, O'Rourke 1 | "Seldom if ever, has a quarter been given by a Cubs player as was the third one by Brian Turner.
