McGILL BACKFIELD NOT COMING TO CAMBRIDGE

Shaughnessy Will Not Illustrate New Pass Rule With Experts--Squad Plays Full Game Friday

Rumors to the effect that Frank Shaughnessy, Canadian Rugby coach who is instructing Crimson football candidates in the art of the lateral pass, would bring a McGill backfield well versed in the intricacies of lateral passing, down to Cambridge were spiked last night by a statement from Manager W. A. Magie '28. The Spring Recess at McGill does not begin until May 1, so the Canadians would not be able to leave the university until that date. Shaughnessy, however, takes his post as baseball scout for the Detroit Tigers on that date and will not be available.

A scrimmage was held yesterday afternoon and will be followed by another one next week. A full-time game all Friday will serve as a climax to the formal spring gridiron session. Yesterday's workout was shrouded in mystery, the lineup of two teams being the only facts divulged by the H. A. A.

Coach Arnold Horween '21, will leave for Chicago after the last practice next Friday.

The lineup of yesterday's scrimmage follows:

Team A--ends, G. L. Lewis '30, J. C. Douglas '30, V. E. Levin '28, tackles: J. E. Barrett '30, D. L. Waterman '30; guards; W. D. Ticknor '30, M. E. Ingalls '29, T. K. L. Coolidge '28; center; John Parkinson, Jr., '29; halfbacks: T. F. Mason '30, G. C. Holbrook '30, F. S. Grart '29; quarterback; R. H. Crawford '29; fullback: J. V. Hitch '30.
