Dike Hyde tested his ankle yesterday, running with hardly any limp, and will probably be ready Saturday. Paul O'Brien, who suffered a mild concussion against the Crusaders, will not scrimmage this week but is expected to see action at Princeton. Buddy Lemay took over at center yesterday, O'Brien taking signal drills with the third team...
