Ah Ha!

"Chester Youngs was the police officer assigned to enforce the
university’s rules on student driving. The skinny giant became well
known to students, who nicknamed him 'Andy Gump' after the tall
and narrow comic-strip hero."

A writer of Michigan Daily doggerel composed an elegy that read in
part:

So Andy won his place on the force
By patience and persistence
With the aid of a figure nobly shaped
To cut down wind resistance.

Our hero isn’t a social climber
In appearance unpretentious
But when it comes to stopping cars
He’s doggone conscientious.

A mug of beer to Officer Youngs!
Come gather round the pump.
Come, bottlemen of Michigan,
A health to Andy Gump!
