Crippled by the loss of five regulars and minor injuries to practically every member of the squad, Birmingham col lege went down in defeat yesterday after noon at the hands of the well-trained Albertville Aggies in Munger Field. The score was 10 to 7. The playing of 'Tink" Gillem was the outstanding feature of the afternoons s battle. The Aggies played remarkable game and with any luck in their favor would have rolled up a larger score.
 The Owenton lads put up a game battle and fought to the very last. The Albert Vile boys grew stronger as the game progressed, although they did all of their scoring in the first quarter. Albertville had an exceedingly strong backfield, espe- cially in J. Thompson and Emmett who made repeated gains around the ends and played a strong defensive game. Red Ray and Solley proved to be chief factors in the Aggies' defense, making about half of the tackles. B. Harvey at center frequently broke through the line in the last part of the game, and threw the Methodist backs for. heavy losses.
 Outside of the wonderful playing of Gillem, both on the offensive and defen- s., lne oWenton boys lacked any par ticular star. What signs of brilliancy tne AletiiouIsts dlu show came in streaks. When within a few yards of the Aggies' goal, they lacked the punch to score. Gillem made a 75-yard run for the only touchdown by the Methodists.
 Capt. J. Thompson of the Aggies won the toss and decided to receive.

After three trials, the Iall was advanced 10 yards by the Aggies. J. Thompson stepped back and placed a drop kick between the bars that >eventu- ally proved to be the winning score
 Albertvile did not again become dan serous until the final quarter, the ball being in the Methodists' hands during the entire third period. The Aggies kicked off to start the second half. Capps re- ceived and returned the ball 40 yards The Aggies then braced and held the Methodists. On the fourth down, for ward pass was attempted, but was inter- cepted by Emmett who went 55 yards be-
 
 goal posts. for once the Methodist line held the Aggies for downs. Jones went 15 yards around right end and then Gill lem uncorked his 75-yard run for the only Methodist score. Gillem shook of tackler after tackler and only for good interfer- ence by Bailey and Levy would have been halted before he neared the goal line Never again did Pinson's followers be- come dangerous.
 Albertville held the ball during most of the final period and succession of end runs by Emmett and J. Thompson placed the ball on the Methodists' five-yard line. However. the period and game ended, and the Aggies were not given chance to complete the rush.
 The game was featured by long runs. Capps made a 40-yard gain while Emmett secured 55 yards. Gillems run was the longest ever recorded in a game that Owenton has participated in. The fight ing blonde was the backbone of the Owen ton team. The Aggies are to be com mended for the clean fight they put up.
