heard about new style of poker game
that of late has obtained vogue among
the Yale students. They wager their
clothes instead of money, and If man
is plucked he must needs beat a retreat
to his room in leaned pajalnas. Those
who claim to know say the freshmen
of York street and the Pierson hall
colony are the principal ones who "sit
in" The usual rules of the game are
followed. In place of chips or money
garments are staked, one by ONE, until
somebody is minus his clothes. This
may be an explanation of some of the
odd sartorial makeups seen late at
night in that vicinity.
