"Tiddlywinks"/"New Sport Being Formed at Cornell" by Adele S. Diamond

  • The center of an intercollegiate tiddlywinks conspiracy is developing at Cornell this fall.

    Severin A. Drix '68, one of its founders, said there are two aims for the team: to play tiddlywinks and to prove an organization can exist with such minimal bureaucracy as to be not even slightly obnoxious.

    The web has grown to 70 members and applicants, who have never seen an official rulebook because they can't find one. Drix and a friend,, Richard Nowagrodzki [sic] '69, derived the rules they use from two magazine human-interest stories and observation in the Brox High School of Science lunchroom. [more]
