"Rookie" Jenkins, varsity baseball catcher for the last three years was instantly killed when the car he was j I driving ran into a signal lamp on Laurel Street. 1 Jenkins was on the receiving end of r the famous Outz-Jenkins battery that baseball teams throughout the city league s as well as the college teams of the state , had found so hard to solve. He caught in almost every game Carolina played while he was on the team, and his cool1 ness under fire, his remarkable throwing I arm, and all-round dependability will be I greatly missed during the coming seaj son. r Off the diamond he was quiet and rep served in his manner, and respected by all that knew him. His death was a I severe shock to a host of friends, who i realize that in "Rookie's" death the Unijj I vcrsity lost one of her manliest and j best-loved sons. ^ 17. H. c. Bed Sheets Have Been Used For Ten Years J Can bed sheets become educated? Well, there arc some at the univer> sity which have been in college for the last ten years. It seems that they would have a doctors degree, what1 ever that is, if such can be obtained * by them. They first attended Winthrop Col' lege where they were used two years by an aunt and then later four years by a niece. Then a nephew came 1 along. But he decided to go to the uni^ vcrsity as the rules at Winthrop didn't suit him. Probably the sheets will j soon be in law school. Who knows? 1 The great nieces and nephews may come along. % Gregory And S Will Edii Frank Haskell, Josephine Griffin, Chaffin, And J. A.

' d Professor Kennedy, librarian, evidently o sent ample proof, as the following letter p was received: ' tl "Dear Mr. Kennedy: Many thanks for your kind favor of h the sixth. lc The distinction of being the first sep- ? arate university library erected in the United States still rests with your library. C Although the Harvard College Library is y almost as old as your library, your claim is still valid, and will be included in the ri supplement of 'Famous First Facts.' r The first separate library building at Harvard was Gore Hall, the cornerstone a of which was laid April 25, 1838. The o Library was not moved into it until a August, 1841. Previous to that, the libra- h ry had shared various college buildings tl with other activities. ii Thanking you for your kindness, I re- c main, Very truly yours, j, Joseph Nathan Kane."

Two knockouts, one for each h side, featured the matches. Henry Willard, last year's Southern n conference champion, chalked up the p Gamecock k. o. over Moyc. The fi Florida scrapper was unable to return s after the second round and Willard li was accredited with a technical kayo, s Florida's heavy, Bernhard, retaliated c by flooring Brown in the second round, and the Rooster's seconds tossed in f, the towel. v c Andy Hill beat McMullen, the Flori- > da Amateur Athletic Union champion, in an cxciting and well fought match, n to give Carolina a 2-0 lead, since Taylor had already beaten his opponent jj in the opening battle. ^ Captain Rivers received a draw with a Allen in the lightweight, and Fcnncll v drew Sherman in the middleweight.
