Cairo, Nov. 8 It is believed that General Rommel is rallying his troops for a stand at Hell Fire pass on the Libyan border, but that he will be overcome by British forces sweeping around from the south.
Invasion of both the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Africa by American naval and land forces was announced at 8:00 o'clock last night by President Roosevelt.
(BULLETIN)
A powerful force of American soldiers and marines protected by British air and naval forces left Gibraltar Thursday and although the point of landing was not announced, it is be. ed
that the French territories of Algeria, Tunis, Casa Blanca, or Dakar and Senegal may have been the objectives of Mediterranean and Liberian - stationed American troops.
NUMBER 30
Characterized as a real second front, the powerful force with the most modern armored weapons was said to be attacking on a tremendous scale.
President Broadcasts To Vichy
The attack had two objectives: (1) to clear Africa of all Axis forces and (2) to prevent the Axis gaining a springboard by which they may attack South America.
President Roosevelt broadcast a short-wave message of assurance to the Vichy government that the American attack on French possessions was to rid land of Nazi troops and that all troops would be withdrawn and the territory returned to France at the end of the war. He told them their possessions in Africa were being attacked by American soldiers and marines and asked the French people to co-operate, assuring them that the United States was fighting for their freedom and liberty which would be assured by an Allied victory.

Take Early Lead In Show of Power
Bv J. Donald Keown, Kansan Sports Editor
The rejuvenated Kansas Jayhawk football squad yesterday presented Coach Gwinn Henry with his second victory of the year as they breezed past the Washington University Bears 19 to 7 before a small crowd of slightly over 2,000 at Memorial Stadium.
Statistics—in which the visitors led in both first downs and total yardage—did not tell the real story of the game, as the Jayhawks shoved over touchdowns in each of the first three

University sorority and fraternity houses are subject to federal regulation on rents coming under the classification of clubs, lodges, apartments, and rooming houses in the rent control program, it was announced by the local rent office at 726 Massachusetts.
According to this classification, the rent ceiling for these houses will be the maximum rent of Mar. 1, 1942. Although the house bills of the Greek organizations have been increased considerably since March 1, Henry Werner, adviser to men, explained that the rent ceiling will probably not effect any great changes in the bills since most of the in-

quarters, and then coated through most of the final half with reserves in the lineup. Coach Tom Gorman's outfit could not score until in the final quarter on a drive against Jayhawk reserves, and only rarely were in a threatening position.
Ray Evans, brilliant Kansas half-back, turned in his usual bruising exhibition of the grid game, but was forced to share honors with two other Kansas backs, and a trio of hard-charging Kansas linesmen.
Linquist Plunges Well
Hoyt Baker continued his fine punting for the Jayhawks, and for the second straight game averaged better than 40 yards per kick. In addition the sophomore back ran hard, and completed the only pass he attempted. Ed Linuist, senior fullback, also gave the visitors trouble with his line plunging and defensive play.
In the line for the winners it was big Warren Hodges, who repeatedly piled up Washington plays on the line of scrimmage, or drove through to nail ball-luggers for losses. Junius Penny, sophomore star, turned in his usual fine game in the line backing post.
Paul Hardman, veteran end, was somewhat erratic at his end position, but at times he stopped Bear

end runs in a manner that brought the small crowd to its feet. He also took over the pass receiving chores of sophomore end Otto Schnellbacher, out of the game with a hip injury, and performed capably in that capacity. Don Johnson, rookie tackle, also played well.
Evans turned in a fine game in the Jayhawk secondary as he repeatedly brought down fleet Bear backs just as it seemed they would break out into the open. In addition, the former Wyandotte star completed the first four of the five passes he attempted, one of them good for a touchdown. The junior halfback also carried his share of
