Antedating of "Yalie"

[Fred Shapiro]

The OED's first use of "Yalie" is dated 1969.  Here are earlier examples
from New York Times Historical:

1952 _N.Y. Times_ 27 Aug. 25  (crossword puzzle clue) Yalies.

1961 _N.Y. Times_ 12 Feb. S2  And as for those cruelly beset Yalies, what
say we let them stand as symbols and examples to oncoming generations?
