YESTERDAY'S RUGGER.

Club "B" Well And Truly Beaten By 27 Light Battery

By “PAK LO”

Yesterday evening Club "U" were well and truly beaten by 27 Light Bly, RA by 20 points (8) irten, 1 gosi, 1 penalty goal) to nil, on the Club ground at Happy Valley.

The 27th started with a couple of men missing, but even with that disadvantage never looked like losing. They had most of the lineouts in their favour, and a fair

share of the set scrums.
