Puts Up Suit Mermen Face Rest Of Season Less Hammond And Jesse Greenbaum After trimming Navy's potent swimming team, Carolina's mermen will finish the remainder of the season minus two of their out standing pool stars in Captain Jesse Greenbaum and Denny Ham mond. Greenbaum, a veteran of three seasons with the Blue Dolphins, was admitted to the Navy hospital last Wednesday for an operation. The Navy event was his last meet of his college career since he gets his commission and degree in February. Hammond will not be able to swim any more due to his full load of work in Med School. The last year's captain was a key man in the Dolphins' triumphs over Navy for the past two seasons. This leaves the swimming team without any veteran backstrokers, but the Caseymen have only a few more opponents before the cam paign draws to a close.

ELECTRIC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY !69 East Franklin Street reputation here as a first-string foot ball player but his excellence in sports is only one of " the interesting things about Del. In fact, Leather man's life has been literally filled with incidents so unbelievable that, in order to cover the short nineteen years in which he has lived, it would be necessary to take them up one at a tinip- s His interests are many, centering around sports, poetry, and commerce which is his major in the University, .People lascmate Del, and he enjoys meeting them and watching them under different circumstances. His hobby of collecting pine knots is a very interesting and unusual one. He claims to have collected knots which resemble human brains, lizards, and small animals. Del also builds novelty lamps. . "Duke," as he is nicknamed, was born nineteen years ago somewhere in the United States. Orphaned at five, and on his own since nine, he has never lived in any place he can call his" "home town." He started school in the second grade at the age of nine, sind paid his own way from then until he joined the Navy. Del's first job was milking cows in a dairy. Among his other jobs he has been a bouncer in a honky-tonk, and has minded babies jn an orphanage. He owns a hotel in Colorado in which he used to wash dishes. Leatherman bummed his way around the United States and Mexico, attended four high schools, and finally graduated from Orange, Texas, High School as an honor student, the presi dent of his class, a four-letterman in sports, and with his name in the na tional high school Who's Who. Dur ing this period Del was. fed a "Mickey" consisting of strychnine and powdered glass, became the sec ond best bulldogger of steers in Texas, and collected a knife wound and a knife from a Mexican. Sometime in this period he changed his name from Tiny to Leatherman, after an old couple who live in Rand, Colorado.

It is indeed remarkable that Del is still in one piece after having been run over twice, gored by a steer, biifed by a Mexican, bitten by a rattlesnake, and fed a "Mickey. ne says, Well, you see, i until I was fourteen, and I spent some time in Mexico 1under those circum stances things just happen to. any body!'! Leatherman writes poetry as a hobby, and has sold poems, through agents, to Esquire, Saturday Evening Post, and the New Yorker, among others. He doesn't aspire to be an other John Masefield but writes purely for the commercial angle. Animals, nature, and personalities are the sub jects of his poetry. He likes Longfel low because, as he says, "He is so basically American. There is beauty in his simplicity." "The Bluebonnet King" is one of Del's titles, which he acquired while attending high school in Texas. He played football, boxed, and also par ticipated in track and skiing, which is his favorite sport. He made the all-state football team in Texas. rines Runners Race In Informal Event Today Today at 2 p.m. Coach Dale Ranson sends his track team into an informal meet against the Cherry Point Ma- -v 1 "T-k Tr I'll 1 1 Jl rines, JNavai re-r iignt scnooi ana Duke University.
