KEzAR STADIUM. SAN FRAN
CISCO, December 9.-St. Mary's giant
Gaels overpowered Southern Metho-
dist's Mustangs 18 to today in thrill
filled intersectional gridiron skirmish
that completed the 1888 schedule for
the two teams
Fifteen thousand fans saw the con-
test. climaxed by a second-period scor-
ing furry in which three touchdowns
were chalked up in minutes.
After a scoreless opening quarter, in
which the boys from Texas held the
upper hand by virtue of superior punt
ing, the Gaels went into the lead on
the first play of the second period.
George Canrinus, left end. carried the
ball over on an end-around play after
run of 80 yards.

period when Nichelini intercepted Tur-
ner's pass and ran 38 yards to cross
the Mustangs goal line.
The place kickers had a bad day of
it, four attempted conversions failing
The Mustangs blocked two of the Gael
tries, while their own effort was poorly
directed.
Heralded as one of the greatest pass
throwing teams in the country,
Southern Methodist lived up to advance
notices by tossing the ball all over the
lot. In results, however, the boys from
the Lone Star State were outclassed at
their own favorite pastime. In 81
passes, the Mustangs completed nine
for total of 80 yards. The Gaels COM
pleted four out of 13 for 1877 yards,
one touchdown coming directly from

To Give Authorities Notes If
Son Is Not Returned.

DENVER, Feb. "a. (U.P) - CLAUDE
K. Boettcher, m u | t i-mlllionaire
wants his son back. dead or alive,
by tomorrow midnight.
If the kidnapers of Charles Boett-
cher II, fail to release him by that
time, the elder Boettcher proposes
to take what action seems advis-
able"
1t was indicated that he would
regard it advisable" if the son is
not released, to turn over to police
all ransom notes, and other COM
munications, which he has received
since young Boettcher was seized
a week ago Sunday night.
The notes from the kidnapers
have been withheld from the police
SO far, because the elder Boettcher
believed he would be putting the
life of his son in jeopardy by re-
vealing them.
Boettcher has been shaken. He
has been baked in every effort to
comply with the kidnapers' de-
mandS.
But today he appeared to have
his second wind.
mo matter what I have to face,
I want this terrible ordeal over by
tomorrow night" Boettcher de-
clared.
my statement yesterday telling
the kidnapers I would pay the $780,
900 ransom only if they freed my
son safely was an ultimatum. I'm
debating the terms now.
I've had to consider the heart
interest, my love for my son, but
I've thought this out alone, ano
no matter what happens, will moi
go alone to deliver the ransom to
these men, and I must know by
Saturday night"
1t was indicated that Boettcher
feared he, too, would be kidnapped,
if he sought to deliver the ransom
personally in the way the kidnap-
ers asked that he do Tuesday night
He was instructde to drive, on thu;
occasion, out the Derby road until
overtaken by two cars, one contain
ing his son, the other a man alone.
He was instructed to drive, on that
ransom to the lone man, then stop
and be joined by his son while the
kidnapers fled. The plan was
abandoned, Boettcher said, when
detectives followed him.
