RULES SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE Ohio State Director Says Football Is Satis-
 factory
iRy Associated Press.)

CLUMBUs, Ohio. Dec. 2s.-Except for a few minor changes the football rules should be left strictly alone for the 1925 season, in the opinion of l.. w.. St. John, athletic director at Ohio State university.
 "vrhe game never was more satls. factory" he said tonight as he departed for New York to attend the annual meeting of the American association O! football coaches. 'The game is balanced delicately between the defense and the offense and is pretty well balanced pc tween forward pass and the rushing game" .L.u at Ohio State. who is secretary-treasurer of the football coaches association IS known to be substantially in accord with Director St. Johns views. Dr. Wiice is now on the. Pacific coast to attend one of the New Years nter- sectional gridiron games:
 Somewhat unique, a minor change ad- vocated by Director St. John that IS now known here to be championed i1 other quarters, is a suggestion to make the goal posts ten feet higher and the cross bar six inches deeper. Such a provision he pointed out would aid officials and spectators in determining if kicks at goal were successful.
 Another change favored by St. John fla to set the kickoff back to the 4O-yard line. "No one cares particularly ne said. "about seeing a team kickoff over the defending teams goal line."
 He is opposed, however, to proposal made in some sections, for restoration of the kickoff tee.
 He also favored making the rule on clipping read to inflict the penalty from the spot of the foul. He would elimi- nate the rule requiring padding shoul- ders as thoroughly on the outside as on the inside of the jersey and would do away with the penalty for use of the flying tackle as being dead letter. The Ohio State director would in dorse a suggestion that rule IS, section B, be changed to read So that if ball Is kicked and hits man on the kicking team the old penalty of the ball going to the opposing team at that spot be xeztored

TANGIER, Morocco, Dec. 16.-Te-
tuan was isolated by land and water.
and Tangier endangered today in
further gains of the Riffs in the latest
outbreak encouraged by the Spanish
retreat.
France is known to fear an organ
lied attempt by all the oppressed
races of Africa. under the leadership
'of Abdul Krim, to throw off imperial
list domination. England is believed
watching possible encroachment on
British holdings in the Riff triumph.
The Anjera rebel tribesmen today
cut the Tetuan-Ceuta railroad, which
'isolates Tetuan, walled town and a
strong Spanish position 80 miles south
of Tangier, from supplies by land.
Fort Martin, which is Tetuan's path
to the sea, is under fire, and ships
from Gibraltar ceased making trips
to the Moroccan city Sunday.
The garrison Of Alcazar Kebir, OPP

the Riffs, who hold many Spanish Of

ehieftain, zellal, who formerly was a
friend of Spain and the massacre by
air bombs of many defenseless women
and children.
There are hints afoot that British
and French interests have secretly
aided the natives as against Spain,
wishing TO accomplish two things
First, they want to GUST Spain from
Africa and seize the territory them
selves. Second, the field for capitalist
exploitation in Spain itself is crippled
by the military dictatorship and has
developed from the semi-feudal stage
as long as the monarchy has lasted.
In the first instance, the rivalry be-
tween imperialists makes them play
with dangerous fire for their own
holdings. But Britain, especially, is
known never to have any scruples
about wasting lives. If it can GUST
Spain now by arming the Riffian
tribes. it little cares that many Brit
ish workers in its army will be needed
to crush these tribesmen later on to
grab what they have gained from
Spain away again for themselves.
The fact that Ihnez, the purchasable
harlot of the bourgeois literary world,
is writing a book against Alfonso Of
Spain and advocating for the over
throwal of the monarchy and Primo
de Rivera's military dictatorship,
shows that big interests are behind
the move for a realignment of the rul-
ing classes in Spain. The defeat in
Morocco will aid this movement.
Spain is being pressed by imperialist
rivals and its oppressed colonials at
the same time.
