COLUMBUS BUSINESS
MEN KICK AGAINST
PHONE RATE RAISE

COLUMBUS. GA, Oct 19.-For the
purpose of protesting against a raise in
telephone rates in Columbus, committees
have been appointed from city council and
the local board of trade to investigate,
and, if necessary. to take the matter be-
fore the state railroad commission.
Four years ago when the southern Bell
Telephone & Telegraph Company pur-
chased the Automatic Telephone Com
pany owned by local capitalists an agree-
ment was entered into between the city
and the Bell telephone people that as soon
as the company had $500 stations in the
city a raise in rates could be made Those
protesting against the raise in rates do
not deny the compauy's legal right to
make the raise, but they are protesting
against the raise on the ground that the
service that is being given does not jus

Superintendent Rawzel, whose head
quarters are in Atlanta. has been in the
city several days trying TO straighten out
the tangle, \ large number of subscrib-
ers are threatening to cut out their resi-
dence telephones.

Greatest Play Ever Saw"as Told by mike" O'Connor
HOW PHIL CONNELL, OF VANDY, BESTED VIRGINIA

siVe in an open field as Honus
Craig. Burch was unable to play
in the first Virginia game on ac-'
count of d bad knee.
Other Plays Recalled.
I could name several other great
plays. One of them was the long
forward pass that beat SeWanee,
II to y, on Dudley field in 1901
Another was a famous tackle by
Jack Dye when Vanderbilt was
playing Virginia for the third time
in Louisville, 1898. Dye found
himself blocked off completely on
this occasion and made a high
jump, entwining his fingers In the
runners hair and bringing him to
the ground in short order. Had
this man been bald headed, Viz
ginia would certainly have scored
a touchdown on this occasion.
But, taken all in all, Phil Con-
nell's run was the most sensation
al l have ever witnessed.

OF course, this rain of last night

Both teams are so dependent on
dry fields for getting off their fast
plays and for working the forward

muddy both the situation and the
uniforms. However, it's all in the

GEORGIA HOPES
TOPUT CRINP IN
VANDERBILT
BY r. Creekmore.
Coach Freshman Team, University of
Georgia.

The Georgia football team, together
with 300 students, is here ready for the
game with Vanderbilt this afternoon.
Within the past two days an added
spirit of confidence has crept into the
students and every man in the Geor-
gia delegation believes that the Red
and Black will be returned the winner
in the battle this afternoon. The stu
dents. however. are not alone in this
belief. as the players are brimfu of
confidence.
Vanderbilt is not feared now as it
was three weeks ago and the team
be an entirely different bunch, as far
as spirit and fighting strength is CON
cerned. from the one that has played
the early season games at Georgia
Head Coach Cunningham refuses to
make statement relative to the out
come Of the struggle but after prac-
tice was over last evening "Cunny"
was wearing broad smile and was
evidently pleased with the condition
and showing of the men.
Assistant Coach Ketron remarked
this morning Il don't see how Vandy
can beat US and I have figured the
merits of the respective players from
every standpoint in arriving at this
conclusion. Man for man. we have Just
as good, if not a better, team than
Vandy, and ! expect to see Georgia
win
Georgia men do not think that the
wet weather win he any more of
handicap to the Red and Black than it
will to the Commodores. as they figure
both teams to be evenly matched in
both weight and speed.

Swofford, one of the guards, weighs
only 175, and Dawes. the other, but

have no fears for the work of the
line, for every man in it is a hard
and aggressive charger. With
Ship or Covington at one tackle,
Tom Brown at the other, and Bud

sent a stronger array than we
hoped for early in the season,

of Penton, turned and broke across
the field to cut him off. Phil stiff
armed the Virginia quarter and
shook himself loose from several
tacklers, lighting out for the goal
line. Two Virginia men reached

back in his place.

the kicking, if remember correctly.
The ball swerved to the left and
passed directly over the left goal

nIIL CONNELL, whom I be-
lieye to be the greatest all
round football player the
South has ever produced, was re-
sponslble for the greatest play l
ever saw on any gridiron and one
that will never be forgotten by
those who We're lucky enough to
see it, ! had the opportunity to
witness it in detail playing on the
same team at the time ana having
a slight part in it myself
This play happened in the first
game between Vanderbilt and Vir-
ginia, which was played at Atlanta
in 1895.
Vanderbilt had been trying to get
a game with Virginia for a num-
Der of years and had always been
met with some reply to the effect
that the Orange and Blue was out
of our class.
On one occasion the college pa
per at Virginia came out with
faCetious editorial which was head
ed something after this manner:
GO on, Vanderbilt, and Play by
Yourself" Consequently, there was
much rivalry between the teams
and when articles were signed we
We're determined to beat them, and
beat them badly.
In 1895 Vanderbilt had its first
professional football coach, Upton.
of Pennsylvania. and he had taught
us a play the signal for which
was shift right or shift left"
ON this play all of the line shifted
to one side of the center and the
play was run around the end where
the shift had been made. Virginia
had scored one touchdown when
this signal was called
Council 5ests Virginia.
Howard Boogher was sent back
TO run with Phil Cornell. and I
was the only other man behind the
line, being forced to pass the ball,
as the rules then demand that
every ball pass through the quar-
terbacks hands. l had no sooner
passed the bail to Phil than Pen

team, broke through the line and

in Tonopah this week from Railroad

to determining the possibilities OF dis
covering potash In that section, and re-
port thereon TO the department to which
they are attached. says tho Tonopah
Miner
In speaking TO d representative OF tho
Miner they said: THE occurrence of
potash in the arid enclosed basins of
the west is based on a mass OF scicn
tiflc theory. which has not yet been
proved to be correct in America We
made a careful examination of the plio-
Gene lake in Railroad valley and OF the
alluvial soils on its shores and believe
that this is the most likely place in
r,tv Nevada 1so, for finding potash; Nothing def
ter that must be determined by drilling.
II Is, however. our opinion that Mr..
Barndt has done everything that was
possible, based upon the theories and
data obtainable, and we believe that the
question can be determined by drilling
to depth Of 1000 feet or possibly not
more than 1900 feet, which can easily be
done with the plant now on the ground.
This search for potash is being closely
watched by the United States govern
ment and IL is hoped that 1t will be
basins of the west. The work in Rail-
road valley is justified by the natural
conditions that exist and while 1t Is
still a matter of speculation, those as
sociated with Mr.. Barndt will get
good run for their money even If drill
