Shrum Bowl

The Shrum Bowl is a college rivalry game played between the gridiron football teams of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds and the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Clan. The game is named after Gordon Shrum who was a professor and later a Dean at UBC from 1925 to 1961 and served as the first chancellor of SFU from 1964 to 1968. It is a cross-town rivalry with UBC being located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and SFU located approximately 30 kilometres away in Burnaby, British Columbia.

The Simon Fraser Clan are the current champions and also lead in the series with an all-time record of 17-15-1. In the 44-year history of the game, the Shrum Bowl has been played 33 times.

The first ever Shrum Bowl game was played on October 16, 1967 at Empire Stadium and it was also the first ever football game to be played between the two schools. The UBC Thunderbirds played in the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU) while SFU played against American colleges until formally joining the American-based National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in 1969, meaning that Shrum Bowls were played as exhibition games. In the first five years it was played, SFU typically dominated the games, posting a 4-0-1 record and outscoring UBC 168-32. While all games were played on neutral ground at Empire stadium, home to the BC Lions, the games were played with American rules when UBC was used to playing Canadian rules. Because of the heavily skewed losses, declining fan interest, and the CWUAA's objections to SFU granting aid to student athletes, the games were temporarily discontinued.
