1 The Birmingham High school bas- ketban team added another scalp to it's belt of victories yesterday afternoon when it defeated the Wetumpka Agri- cultural college five in the Athletic club gymnasium by the score of 4S to 20. The Wetumpka team was on the defensive throi,, hout the entire con- test and used every conceivable means 10 keep the High school boys from scoring.
 The team which Coach Messer sent against the visitors in the first hall piled up a 95 to score but when he injected substitute after substitute into the Highs lineup the Wetumpka lads l began to spruce up and take notice. At the end of the second half the score stood 13 to 12 in favor of High school, making a total of IS to 20.
 The game was listless throughout. The High school lads were unable to play their usual fast passing game owing to the tactics used by the vis itors along the lines of holding and guarding. During this period the lat ter paid very little attention to the ball, their main object being to keep the High school players from getting It. Toward the close of the contest the play became close but High school had acquired such a commanding lead that they were never in danger. For the High school teat1 Captain Hood and w.
