Contrary to everybody's expectations, the doctors failed to put their stamp of approval on little Cleo O'Donnell yesterday afternoon, so the flashy, 155-pond wing-back, who has been spelling Captain Franny Lee this season, probably won't be available for Dick Harlow to use against the Cadets Saturday. The other news from the rain soaked Soldiers Field last night was ptriologist Harlow's announcement that his starting team for the Army game will be the same that won the swimming meet with the tigers last week.
George Hibbard, 212 pound reserve tackle, who was injured in the scrimmage Wednesday, will be ready and waiting to spell Vern Miller against the Black and Gold if he is needed. In spite of Wednesday night's pessimistic report, Yardling Captain Jack fisher's leg injury was found not to be as serious as firs thought, and he will lead his team against the Dartmouth Freshmen at Hanover tomorrow.
Army Works Out Today
The Army, plays twelve auxiliaries, will arrive a Allston at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and roll through a work-out in the Stadium beginning at 3:45. From there they will head for the Belmont Country Club where they will spend the night.
Loren MacKinney will start at left end for the Crimson, teaming up with Jack Morgan on the other flank. The big four, Gardiner, Miller, Peabody, and Pfister will hold down the center of the line with heady Johnny Page over the ball. The backfield will include "Whiffle Bill" Wilson at tailback, hammering George Heiden in the blocking spot, and Don McNichol in the vital full-back slot.
Today' workout was the usual Thursday afternoon drill, with the emphasis, as it has been during the week, on punting under pressure and pass plays. MacKinney's kicking was outstanding, averaging fifty yards per boot despite the wet bell and sloppy footing, while bespectacled Don McNichol's handling of he slippery pigskin during the passing practice was little short of sensational.
The team has been handicapped this week, as who hasn't, by hour exams, so they haven't been able to go all out during practice sessions. However, they hope to make up all their lost sleep after the rally tonight, and aside from lack of beauty rest, they are in top physical shape for the encounter.
