For the third successi ve year Brentwood has defeated Shawnigan, who for so many years previously has defeated all of our teams. BRENTWOOD vs. ROYAL ROADS (Lost — 0-21) Here again the superior weight of the Royal Roads team gave them the required strength to push our scrum and so get the ball out to their threes. The victory undoubtedly went to the better team. BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. ROYAL ROADS (Lost — 3-26) During the first half of the game there was a slight fall of rain which made the ball very slippery.
