College football national championship selections in Outing (magazine)?

A foundational source for the article College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS is a 1967 article in Sports Illustrated by Dan Jenkins that states:

...it was fairly easy to recognize a No. 1 team every season. Somebody like Casper Whitney in Harper's Weekly or J. Parmly Paret in Outing looked at the records of Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Penn, quickly deciphered which one had out-groped Columbia Law School by the biggest margin, and boldly proclaimed them the mythical national champion.

The article is written in a somewhat humorous tone, and it's unclear if Paret actually did make college football national championship selections or if Jenkins was simply grabbing an old-timey sportswriter out of the hat.

We have found selections by Casper Whiney in Outing.

Any help appreciated on finding any original J. Parmly Paret sources if they exist.
