For Masters could put eleven men on a football field who would total 2,320 pounds on the hoof, without Including their football paraphernalia. Their average weight would be 211 5-11 pounds, and there isn't a football coach In the country today who wouldn't be willing to take a peek at the squad in the hopes of enticing some of the boys to enroll at his particular institution. AvolrdupoLi honors go to Dick Kissinger, bass player,' who tips the scales at a mere 341 pounds. Not far behind him is Ralph Cop sey, a former Cornhusker student and a star trombonist of Masters harmony kings who hits the 300 mark. Most of the other men range from 175 to 200 pounds, while Frankic himself, who would, of course, handle the signal-calling duties should he ever decide to convert his musicians to a hand of plg-skln ttotcrs, brings Uic average down with his scanty 100 pounds. BARBS GIVEN BID TO ATTEND GREEK BALE Fischer Dispels Doubts About Una J filiated Not Attending.

Approximately 300 students at tended night classes during the first semester of this year. Stars in Ranks could very easily overshadow college football teams, should lie Even at that, that average of 211 pounds would make any coach the itnvy of his contemporaries if he could put a team on the field with such poundage. Then, of course, Masters would have two very capable substitutes in Jack "Scat" Powell and Alan Rogers, his distinguished vocalists, both of whom scale close to 190 pounds. Powell took his unl vcrsity work at Oklahoma U and while still a sophomore showed Big Six opponents that a melodic voice does not necessarily Inter fere with a charging gridster's physical fitness. Waltjr Klrsch, formerly of the University of Michigan when Coach Fielding Yost's grid-Iron elevens were nothing to be reck oned with, would supply any de ficiency in ability that might be evident among other members of the squad, with such talents as won him a ponltlon on one of Walter Camp's All America elev ens. ) 400 STUD nts START 10 CLASS Registrar's Latest Reports Show an Increase Over Last Year. 5900 TOTAL EXPECTED Medical, Graduate College Registration to Come Later.

Winter's chilly blasts are having little or no effect on the baseball plan making of Coach Wilbur Knight who expects to sound his call for diamond candidates in about two weeks. Thus far, thirty five players have signified their intention of being on hand for the initial workout and Knight is hopeful that this number can be increased to at least fifty. Seven Lettermen. With the return of seven letter men, Coach Knight is considerably more optimistic over prospects for the coming season than he was at about the same time last year when he began moulding the 1935 aggregation. Howard Baker, Cleve Trimble and Lloyd Wampler are three experienced infielders who will return and tho latter is also able to take a turn on the- pitch ing mound when occasion de mands. The only veteran hurlcr to return Is Jerry Spurlock, while Al Turner and Ed Pohlman are itoldovcr catchers from last year's team. Vincent Jacobscn is tho lone survivor from the 1935 out field trio to be on hand. Plenty of Reserves. Reserve material is being count ed on strongly by Coach Knight and he has ten players who filled in last year but who did not earn letters. These players arc Ed Fitztrcrald. Charley GIbbs, Dell Hanankamp, Bob Lcacox, infield ers; Gerald Hansen, Bill KIscr, Oakley Larson, outfielders; Don Kuskn, C3'cher; Arnold Peterson and George Keikes, pitchers. Should the reserve performers fall to meet with the expectations' of Coach Knight he will have on hand a number of promising play ers from the 1935 Huskcr frosh team. Seven Infielders, three out fielders, one catcher and otto pitcher make up this group. Paul Amen, Ivan Horman, Floyd Me dian, Eddie George, Phil Navlauz, Arnold Rcld, Clem Sundstrom and Laird Wolfe arc the outfield can didates who can be counted upon to make strong bids for places In tho varsity lineup. Norris Welblo Is a catcher from the freshman team while Lloyd Stall, a right handed hurler, will attempt to land a place on the pitching corps. At this date, pitching promises to be a weak spot on the team, therefore, it is with considerable uneasiness that the Cornhusker baseball mentor Is casting a searching eye for talent in that department. Sixteen Garnet. Sixteen games have been carded so far for the Nebraska nine and negotiations arc under way at the present time for several more con tests.
