Scout says that Atticus was feeble?
Like all young children, Scout (and Jem) did not see their father very clearly. To kids, a parent is either a saint or failure. They don't see parents' conflicts or even their feelings. Scout thought Atticus was weak because she didn't see his inner and deliberate strengths.
How does Atticus feel about maycomb after the trial?
I don't think this is the right question becacause the jury that made the decision was not from Maycomb. They were from Old Sarum. But I believe that Atticus was glad because the jury took al ong time to come to a decision on the final saying of the trial. He thinks that Maycomb is going to change, but is going to take sometime. Atticus thinks that people just don't understand things. He thinks that Maycomb people judge too quickly.
What excuse does Atticus give for never playing football?

What is jem and scout's attitude toward their father at the beginning of the chapter?
Their father is very fair in the way he raises them. For example, when Scout comes home complaining about her teacher at school or their nasty neighbor, Atticus tries to listen to her point of view bu then explain to her what is right. Also, for punishments, Atticus will make the children do things that teach them a lesson, such as having to read to the nasty neighbor everyday. The children respect Atticus, but have trouble seeing him as a strong or heroic figure because of his age.
