The CourleuX aggre gation won by hard, clean play ing, although the Young Mems Chris tian association boys put mp stren- uous fight.
 The game began with both teams on the alert The Young Mems Christian association boys scored first, but the Highs came back at them, and when the whistle blew ending the first half, the Highs had | to the Seniors '. The high school guards seemed 10 be able to hold the Senior forwards with ease, although both Brooks and Estes played nicely. Barker passed the ball nicely to the High forwards and his work helped the score along.
 Hood was tho individual star of the night, as he broke loose from the Young Mems Christian association guard and threw goal after goal. His unerring aim was responsible for over half of the Birmingham High school score Hanby played well II center, while the guards and Tribble played an excellent game.
 The only thing that the Young Mems Christian association boys lacked was team work, for the Highs won on that merit. The guards would intercept the Young Mems Christian association passes and would shoot them to the forwards, who threw goals from the field quite often. The game was fast and exciting, and, a fair crowd enjoyed it. Summary:
