It does? The OED Online I'm looking at has quotes from 1947 and
1950 for _poop_ without _poop sheet_. Well, those sources _mention_
_poop sheet_ but use _poop_ independently; the '47 specifies that
_poop_ came first.
In any case we now have 1911 evidence (shout-out to Jon L here)
that will probably appear in our next update of OED Online.
