Career
1925-26 Boston Whirlwinds (ABL)
"Jenkins" appeared on one game for the Whirlwinds, on December 21, 1925. I believe he is Harvard athlete Percy Jenkins.
Jenkins was a highly-regarded athlete at Harvard in the early 1920's. Captain of the football team, he also ran track and played baseball. Due to his busy athletic schedule, he did not play basketball at Harvard. Graduated in 1924. He went on to be an executive with the Wickwire Spencer Steel Division of Colorado Fuel & Iron, a position he held at the time of his sudden death at the age of 47.
