By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Coach Exendine, Georgetown
gridircn tutor, is expected to select
a tentative lineup today or tomor-
row in anticipation of the clash with
Fordham, billed fo- a week from to-
morrow. In this final week before
the opening skirmish of the 1914
season considerable hard work will
be needed by the Hilltoppers, II vic
tory is to perch upon their ban
ners. Just what men will have the
honor of starting the game cannot
now be said, but rough guess is
possible.
Fordham will probably face the
following lads when the first whistle
blows on the 2Sth: Ends, Cusack
and Pauxtis; tackles, Barron and
Ward; guards, O'Gorman and Con-
well; center, McKenna; quarterback,
Foley; halfbacks, Capt. Freddie Muir
ray and Landreau; fullback, CORN
ley.

for today at the Hilltop, Coach Exen-
dine now laying great stress upon block
Ing in the line and interference for run
ming backs. There are so many power
ful candidates out for the Blue and Gray
this season that the Indian tutor will
have 4 hard tine choosing his regular
eleven The forwards are all big, strong
and fast, while the backs seem eX-
perienced and alert.

available this fall at Georgetown. John
