Rick Melvoin, who was scheduled to run the 440 leg in the distance medley and anchor the mile run, will be sidelined this weekend due to a recurrence of a hamstring injury.
Foster severely pulled a hamstring muscle two weeks ago against Princeton, and it hemorrhaged. He began jogging again this week, but the muscle did not respond to treatment. Although he probably will not see action, Foster will suit up for the game.
Injured quarterback Rod Foster suited up in sweat clothes yesterday and for the first time since he suffered a pulled hamstring muscle in the Princeton game a week and a half ago, was able to run at half-speed in preparation for Saturday's Yale game.
It was because he had pulled a hamstring. And with Foster injured, the apparently resolved quarterback question is once again uncertain.
Cornerback Rick Frisbee is also suffering from a hamstring pull, but he should be ready to play by Saturday. Several other players, including defensive tackles Ed Vena and Mark Steiner and cornerbacks Steve Golden and Brad Fenton, are bruised but still expected to see action.
