Plaster Taken Off Arm
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) JOHANNESBURG.
The All Blacks’ vicecaptain, C. E. Meads, had the plaster removed from his broken arm on Monday and later said it was very doubtful that he would be able to play in the second test against South Africa.
“It looks like a scarecrow’s,” he said, looking at the arm after the plaster had been taken off so that a mould could be taken for a new light-weight plastic cast. “It is obviously going to take a lot of building upmore than I thought It is obvious I am going to have to play in at least one game beforehand if I am to play in a test So it is very doubtful at this stage that I’ll be in the test”
