University football, assumed a more wholesome aspect when a number of regulars, together with a group of Canadian rugby players, appeared on the field yesterday afternoon. None of the first string men were injured seriously in Saturday's game against Tufts, and a number of recent invalids were out for the first time. Trumbull, despite the severe cut which he received on his face, will be able to play by the end of the week, while Hardwick ran through signals with the University team. Pennock was back as right guard and Mahan limbered up his injured leg. From present indications, he will have entirely recovered from the ill effects of the torn ligament within a few days. Logan also took light exercise but it is a question whether or not the condition of his shoulder will permit him to play this week.

Six Canadian rugby players from Hamilton, Ontario, were on hand to demonstrate the methods of passing of which they are perfect exponents. They spent a good part of the afternoon teaching the second team how to play their style of game. Combined with eight Team B men they formed a regular Canadian team of 14 men, nine in the line, and five in the backfield. Their attack as shown yesterday is very shifty, wide open, full of passes and kicks, with a minimum amount of tackling, and an extensive repertoire of plays, consisting of 20 various formations. The Canadians will coach the University team in this style of play throughout the week.

Addition to Backfield.

The most interesting development of yesterday's practice was the playing of Francke, who has been out of the game with a poisoned hand, at number 2 position in the backfield. If he fits in with the other first string men, he will complete one of the heaviest and most powerful set of backs that has ever represented the University.

The line-up of the University team yesterday was as follows: l.e., T. J. Coolidge; l.t., R. Curtis; l.g., Weston; c., Soucy; r.g., Pennock; r.t., Bigelow; r.e., Weatherhead; q.b., Logan, Swigert; l.h.b., McKinlock; r.h.b., Francke; f.b., Bradlee.
