Original Toronto Star caption: Argo doctor Peter Hanson gives Leon McQuay a check before approving Argonauts' running back for pre-season training. McQuay sufferd knee injury last season, but did not require surgery. He has also had problems this season with hard surface of Argo's unwatered practice area at CNE. Sevral players are complaining of sore legs. Club moves to St. Andrew's in Aurora tomorrow. Word is that Scullers may not be able to hold all practises on new mod sod.
