Table Tennis

Table Tennis.

Years ago Weir had a table tennis table and ladder. During the presidencies of W. M. Willis and H. R. C. Wild, the game enjoyed some popularity, but damage to the table and the loss of all the balls available in the neighbourhood brought the game within the precincts of the House to old table was in the murk of the interest has flared up afresh, The with fittings, has been procured, and an untimely end. Now another table, basement; the new one graces the Recreation Room. It is a superior structure too, for it has a grained lop in addition to the regulation six legs. As a matter of historical fact, play on it started some three weeks before the Table Tennis Club at 'Varsity commenced its activities.

A tournament is in strenuous progress at present. No player is outstanding, but there are some who favour the chances of the wily Tuck, whose strange styles and customs are rather disconcerting to opponents.
