Jayhawks Go North
Brenner Talk May Affect United States
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini met aboard an armored train at Brenner Pass today and discussed vital Axis war policy, believed to concern the United States, Russia and a winter offensive in Africa.
German and Italian war machines slowed down to snail's pace as the leaders talked. The German air force made only spasmodic appearances over Britain. The Italian army in Egypt was idle, or nearly so.
The Hitler-Mussolini conference appeared to be dealing with both military and political questions, but official information was lacking and Axis sources offered only guarded hints as to its nature.
However, the presence of Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the German supreme command, indicated that major questions of

Leave Tonight For Struggle With Cyclones
The Kansan's Sports Editor
Kansas' entry in the 1940 Big Six football race will be unveiled at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on the green turf of Clyde Williams Field at Ames, Iowa, when the Jayhawks kick off against the Iowa State Cyclones in the only conference game of the day.
An all-veteran crimson and blue eleven is scheduled to start for Kansas although Coach Gwinn Henry may keep a steady stream of substitutions running from the bench to the field as he watches his Jayhawks in their first test of the season. Veterans To Start
The starting Kansas line probably will be composed of Hub Ulrich and Ward Crowell, ends; Jim Holloway and W. F. Jack, tackles; Jay Kern and Quido Massare, guards; and Don Pierce, center. In the backfield will be Marvin Vandaveer, Ed Hall, Jake Fry, and Ed Suagee.
Ready to fill gaps in the line and backfield when the starters tire will be Don Pollom, stellar sophomore halfback, Ray Linquist, 180-pound fullback, John Burge, 180-pound senior end, Herb Hartman, 204-pound junior guard, Steve Meade, bulky 232-pound tackle, and half a dozen others.
And just waiting for the Jayhawks to push over touchdowns will be Chester Gibbens, diminutive drop kicker, whose two year record on attempted points after touchdowns stands at 10
Tigers Whip Reds,7-4
The Detroit Tigers today tased the red meat of victory for the second time in the 1940 World Series as they walloped the weakening Cincinnati Reds to the tune of 7 to 4.
Mike McCormick, Cincinnati catcher, struck out in the ninth with two men on to end the game after the Reds had made a desperate last-minute rally.
The Bengals gave the home fans a treat in Briggs field in a big seventh inning when they scored four runs to break a deadlock which had existed since the fourth, when McCoskey scored a double play.
out of 11.
Cincinnati started things with a loud bang in the first, when Billy Werber, first Red-man to face veteran Tommy Bridges, who pitched
the entire game, clouted a double and Ival Goodman singled him home.
The game then settled down to a pitching duel between Bridges and Big Jim Turner of the Reds. In the fourth, the monotony was broken by the Tiger score. The pitchers again tightened up until the big Detroit seventh.
In the seventh, Greenberg led off with a single to center. Rudy York then pounded a homer to score Greenberg ahead of him. Campbell clicked off another single, and Higgins walloped the second four-bagger of the inning. Bartell singled and McCoskey doubled, but both were left stranded.
batter for Turner, scored on Mike McCormick's single.
Cincinnati scored one run in their half of the eighth, when Riggs, who
The last of the eighth saw Detroit add two more scores. Greenberg tripled to center, and Campbell singled him home. Campbell then scored on Higgins' double.
Light showers and cooler weather are expected for Kansas tonight. Tomorrow, fair and cooler.
WEATHER
Cincinnati staged a frantic ninth inning flurry, which failed when Mike McCormick fanned with two on. Ripple, Baker, and Joost singled and Ripple scored. Werber scored Baker with a double. Mc-Cormack looked at three of them Beggs replaced Turner in the eighth.
Against the Jayhawks, Iowa State Coach Jim Yeager will send a lineup containing lettermen at every post but two. In the line will be Douglas Graves and John Heggen, ends; Leonard Thomas, a sophomore; and Melvin Happe, tackles; Captain Tom Smith and LaVerne Lewis, guards; and Robert Kirkpatrick, center. The starting backfield will probably be made up of Larry Owens' brilliant junior quarterback, Don Griswold, veteran left halfback, Lincoln Stewart, sophomore right halfback, and Bob Lechtenberg, converted signal caller at fullback.
"Hammerin' Hank" Wilder, 200-pound Iowa State backfield ace, will not be in the starting lineup, but Coach Yeager hopes that his injured star will be able to play quite a few minutes against the Jayhawks. Leave at 9 o'clock Tonight
The Kansas team will leave for Des Moines by train at 9 o'clock (continued on page 4)
PSGL Names Matassarin Frosh Leader
The campaign for this year's freshman election got under way today with the naming of Ben Mattassarin, c'42, as chairman of P.S.-G.L.'s freshman campaign committee. Gene Whetstone, sp., has charge of securing Pachacamac's yearling votes but neither chairman has named the committee members.
Although the initial party organizational plans have been laid, the date for the freshman election has not been set. The constitution of the Men's Student Council specifies that the election shall be held the first Thursday after the first Monday in November, which would be on Nov. 7. However, since this would place the election in the midst of mid-se semester examinations and seriously hamper the campaigning techniques of both parties. The Council may see fit to change the date.
Pachacamae will hold its annual open house for freshman at 8:30 next Tuesday night in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. P.S.G.L. has not announced its organizations plans yet.
To Give English Proficiency Test Tomorrow
Professor John B. Virtue, who is in charge of the English Proficiency examination, announced today that 205 students have registered for the quiz to be given tomorrow.
Professor Virtue declared that although the registration date for the quiz is passed, it will be possible for seniors who must take it in order to qualify for graduation in June to take it tomorrow, with the group already registered.
Students are required to take 24 hours of work in residence after passing the quiz. Those who failed to register this month may take it Dec. 14, March 1, or May 3.
