A74 lines up as a back, either as a tailback, fullback, or receiver. Is he ineligible by number and if so is there any exception?

CANADIAN RULING:

Players are ineligible by position (one of 5 interior linemen) or by number, or both (in most cases). To legally catch a pass wearing an otherwise restricted number (40s, 50s, 60s in Canada), the player will have had to report to the Referee before the play began.
