HIGH SCHOOL WILL MEET THE
 DISQUE BUNCH SATURDAY
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

The High School eleven will play the Dfsque High school of Gadsden on Sat urday afternoon at the Redwood park at o'clock. The game will be the first that has been played in Birming- ham for some time and it is expected that a large number will witness what promises to be the most interestir g struggle of the year for the Courleux aggregation.
 Although the Highs are in splendid condition now it is said that the Gads- den bunch have an equally strong ag- gregation of pigskin warriors, and as they are said to be equally matched in speed, weight and skill, the game will he exceedingly interesting.
 Captain Strange of the Highs has recovered from a dislocated arm and vii, be seen at his position in tho game Saturday. Stephenson, the star end of the Highs, has also recovered from his slight attack of pneumonia and will be in the struggle Barker, halfback, will probably be in the game. The Highs will have their full line up in the game and the coach is ex- pecting the boys to win.
 Last Saturday at Tuscaloosa in the game with the Alabama reserves the Highs suffered their first defeat of the season. being defeated by the score of IT to 0. The cause of the defeat was obvious. The Highs were out weighed by over 13 pounds to the man. In the line of little dope the scrubs weigh within one pound of the varsity. The scrubs weigh 155 pounds, while the varsity weight 156. In speed the Highs were outclassed as the scrubs showed remarkable swiftness and splsndid elusive ability.
 Gibbons, the fullback of the scrub team, is the brightest star, in the es- timation of the people acquainted with the football situation of the state, that ever shone on an Alabama scrui, team. The only reason that he is ur- able to play on the varsity team this year is on account of not being able to get his credits. In the game of Saturday he made runs of 20 and 25

THOMPSON COMES BACK AT WEATHERLY City Should Finance Bell Telephone Suit
 COME OUT OF CLOUDs'
Prominent Attorney Sharply Criticises Position of Commissioners and Tells Why, in His Opinion; Suit
 Was Filed By State

In answer to the interview of Comrnis- sioner James Weatherly. appearing Tn yesterdays Age-Herald, R. DuPont Thompson, a we'll known lawyer, says right to appropriate money to fight the Bell Telerhone rate case. He argues that the city should fight the case as the city is a party subscribing for service and di- rectly concerned in the proposed rate ad- vapcemc=t Mr. Thompson also points out that the present bill of injunction was only filed in the name of the state to escape the execution of large bond, in that requirement the state being ex- enrpt. The interview of MT. Thompson upon MT. weatherlys attitude follows: .'Mr. Weatherlys position in the tele- phone fight Is so open to criticism that naturally he feels sensitive.
 'sWlier the citizens committee appealed to tlc commissioners to pay the expense of the telephone fight from the cIty's funds Mr. Weatherly said:
 ".ln my Judgment. wholly apart from and inde pendent of the question whether | or not these proposed rates are correct, 1t seems to me that the people of Birming- | ham ought to have fair opportunity to | have instituted, in their behalf. legal l inquiry as to the fairness of these pro- posed rates
 Also: i state here now that am pre- pared to vote with the other commissions
 CTS to see that such action as the city
 can legally take shall be taken
 .'He now dodges behind the theory that
 no lawful appropriation can be made for
 the purpose. If MT. Weatherly really de- sras to do anything for the people in this
 matter. and has any genuine doubt as to
 the commissions legal right to make the appropriation. he should examine section 1 11g2 u1, 125. and 126s of the municipal
 code, with which it appears that he Is un-
 fa1liliar. No lawyer who has studied
 them will contend that these sections do
 not give the commission ample power to
 use the eity's funds in this fight
 "The telephone question is one which
 affects the pubic welfare and the pros perity of the whole city. It should be
 handled by the municipality, which, IS a telephone user, has the same interest as l Il private subscriber. It would be unjust
 to place the burden on private parties.

 streets are threaded by the company s lines, and its poles cluster on every cor
 ner It is not matter in which the state
 at large has any particular interest Ir. Weatheriy knows very well that the suit
 vas brought in the name of the state for
 tha purpose of avoiding the necessity of
 giving large injunction bond. Governor O'Neal caused this action to be taken at

irterests are antagonstIc to those of the city and its inhabitants. He admits that' before he became commissioner. he was attorney for the telephone company.
 By his refusal to take any action when the company asked efor an increase in rates, Mr. Weatteiy shows to my mind that he does not consider himself free from the influence of his previous em- ployment. He can be accused of par tiality only when he acts favorably to his former client. When he opposes it's interest, no one can criticise him. The people are. unanimous in their indigna- tion at the proposed increase in telephone rates '' I'.-. V { F. z

 Some changes will probably be made as the recent changes have not suited the coach.

Robinson is a large fellow and seems to be unable to navigate swift ly, but in the games he has pulled off some of the prettiest play seen He IS not clumsy and Is game" to the core. Stockmar, who played full at Tus- caloosa, did not seem to be at home al all and could not make any material gains, although he is the swiftest man on the team in an open sprint lie Is much better man on the line as he is a good tackle and runs inter- ference we'll
 Morton will probably be played at half. He Is the best punter of the aggregation and is a good man at that position. He is better there than at end The ends will be Lathem, Neal and Stephenson. Before Stephenson was ill he was the most consistent ground gainer of the team and was fast enough to pull off the end runs.
 Every day this week, although tt has rained, practices have been held. On Monday the Highs engag ged in a hard practice. They worked out hard and practiced tackling and interference all most exclusively.
