Having verified from the ledgers of the institution that approximately $4,000 had been paid for sterilizations during two years of Lulu Coyner's regime, Mrs. McCarthy was last week noisily demanding that the State investigate the matter.

Dave Colwell, on the other hand, took the wind to his too and sent off 89 and 75 yard punts to set the Indians back on their goal line, with a safety resulting the first boot.
