[Ads-l] Strip Poker antedated (?)

[Peter Reitan]

Since it appears to be from near the end of the academic year, in a "Parting Petition," the question remains, did they learn the game from Yale or bring the game from Yale, where it was played under another name in April 1904.

The date checks out. The full text is available at HathiTrust.org. It's =

Hi, gang. It's been a while. Did you miss me?

Previously antedated to 1906,  with references to strip tunk and *pajama =
poker" 1904.

I have found a reference to the exact phrase "Strip poker" that seems to =
be from 1904.

(With apologies to the Tin Woodman)

Must I attend recitations ?
Why can't I cut when I choose?
Why is "strip poker" forbidden?
Why can't a man have his booze?

Google dated to 1904. We all know how unreliable Google dating is, but =
this appears to be the top of the same page.
