will be ready to play against the
Army Saturday, Jim Dewhurst, for
mer star of the Pennsylvania fresh
men, may start at fullback in the
Fordham game on November 2 in
New York. The big fellow, one Of
the heaviest and probably the
strongest ever seen at. the Hilltop,
has reported to Coach Exendine,
and is to be given trial at fullback,
where his weight should count for
much, particularly on defensive
play. Dewhurst starred at tackle
and fullback at Pennsylvania last
fall, and has only to learn the sig
nails and Exendine's methods to
make q strong bid for the Bue and
Gray varsity.
Unless the gridiron is dry at West
Point Saturday. Andy Dempsey may
not start, Orland Leighty holding down
the place at fullback when the whistle
blows for the clash with the soldiers.
Dempsey's leg Is still bit weak, and
Coach Exendine does not care to take
any chances with his star punter on q
greasy field. The Hilltoppers will be
weak In kicking. II Dempsey Is out OF
the game, as he is the best punter since
Harry Costello did the bootins at
GebrSetown.
Today's scrimmage Is expected to be
the last in preparation for the West
Point game. Charlie Fitzgerald's in
jured hip Is improving rapidly. and he
should be ready to show his best Satur-
day. The lineup will probably be the
same against the Army as It was
against North Carolina. with the possi-
BILE exception of Dempsey at fullback.

strong effort to obtain Albert A. Exen.
