The Streak: Game Seven , February 2, 1943 – UNC 52, Clemson 32.
The loss was part of a tough campaign for the Tigers. They were
3-13 overall and 0-10 in the Southern Conference. Kellog was
born February 26, 1852. He was one of the first “Granola Heads”
operating the Battle Creek Sanitarium that utilized holistic
methods with a particular focus on nutrition, exercise and
enemas. Yes, we said enemas. He is best known for inventing,
with his brother, corn flakes. That said, the Kellogs did not
invent the concept of the dry breakfast cereal. That honor
belongs to Dr. James Caleb Jackson, who created “Granula” in
1863 – sound appetizing, doesn’t it? A patient Kellog’s, Charles
William Post, would eventually start his own company, Post
Cereals, leading to claims that Post stole the formula for corn
flakes from Kellog’s safe in the Sanitarium office. Kellog, a
vegetarian, was also an advocate of sexual abstinence… Ok, never
mind, he was a quack. Kellog died on December 14, 1943.
