| 13 Dec 1919 | "Even Tiddlety-winks" letter about freedom of speech (see Shapiro's Fleas) ("The writers of yesterday's communication excell Metternich in his own 'rayon' in their apparent illiberalism and intolerance. In our humble opinion the College buildings should be free to lectures on tiddledy-winks or any other subject students may care to listen to, so long as open violence is not preached.") | transcript (NATwA) | |
| 7 Mar 1923 | "PETTY PATERNALISM" ("Examples of foolish, needless legislation are plentiful. In South Carolina, the playing of pool or billiards has been forbidden. The prohibition of checkers, of cards, of tiddledy-winks may well follow.") | ||

Now with deft, steady strokes, play tic, tac, toe on all the odd questions and tiddley winks on all the even ones. Who knows, you might even get the right answer, and besides, won't Dr. Tatum be surprised?") | ||
| 25 Feb 1944 | "NAVY SUPPLY CORPS SCHOOL" by Ensign Long. ("According to him, there's no reason why a Supply team or Supply teams cannot engage in outside games, be it basketball, softball, hardball, or tiddly-winks, just so long as regular class and study hours are maintained.") | ||
| 7 Oct 1946 | "When's the Gravy Train Due? Or: The Eagle Flies the Coop" ("There's gold in the U. S. Treasury, and with it G.I.'s can learn to fly, dance, hoe potatoes, cut out paper dolls, or play tiddledy winks, but the University Information Office within whose ken passeth all things weren't so sure they had the answer to the telephone voice which said: 'I'm a vet and I haven't enrolled in Harvard University.'") | ||
| 8 Dec 1961 | "Tiddlywinks"/"In the Mail" letter from Elizabeth King of Oxford seeking challenges ("Four or six members of the Oxford Tiddlywinks Society (All England champions and holders of the Prince Philip Interuniversity Trophy) are planning a tour of the States from July to September 1961 (sic).") | ||

| 3 Nov 1962 | Page 4 Column 1 | "Wink Stink" letter from Robert Miller, president of Brown Tiddlywinks Union ("It has been rumored that the Harvard tiddlywinks team has been hiding from the Brown team.

| 10 Nov 1962 | Page 5 Column 1 | Photo | |
| 18 Nov 1962 | Page 4 Column 5 | "Winkers Squop Brown" ("The Gargoyie Undergraduate Tiddlywinks Society extended its victorious lous season to a record 9-0 Saturday by defeating an overrated Brown team.

| 24 Nov 1962 | Page 5 Column 4 | "`Gargoyle' Tiddlywinkers Will Play Squidgers from Yalie Daily Today". Photo ("Possibly it's time to stop making fun of the Gargoyle tiddlywinkers.

PBH, 10 a.m." |

"'f you're willing to help, drop in anytime,' he added.") | |
| 30 Jan 1963 | "THE SPORTING SCENE" by Joseph M. Russin. ("But up to this time, with the minor exceptions of mixed doubles in tennis and tiddlywinks, women have generally been restricted to competing against each other. There is great wisdom in such a policy. ") | ||

| 2 Dec 1966 | "Brandeis Fans Love the Game" by James K. Glassman. ("'This is the pit,' he said, gesturing in back of him. There were loads of girls.

| 10 Feb 1967 | "Freshman PT Requirement -- Why Bother?" by James R. Beniger.

This year is only the second time since 1968 that the game will not decide the Big Ten championship and who goes to the Rose Bowl. The rivalry is so intense "The two schools could play tiddlywinks at 30 paces and it would still draw a crowd," says one long-time Ohio State fan.") | ||
| 13 Apr 1985 | "Take Me Out to the Numbers Game" by Nick Wurf. ("National Bocce League, United States Curling Association, Major League Tiddlywinks, you name it--Elias keeps their numbers for them.") | ||

The chips they used were very small, thin affairs, about the size of ten-cent pieces. On the table stood a little cup or bowl, about three inches across. [...] Whisk went the cards into young Jennings' pocket, the bowl was moved into the centre of the table and the others began snapping the chips into it by pressing one on another. When Jennings opened the door, all that the Head Master saw was a group of fellows, laughing and excited, playing 'tiddlywinks.'") |
