Table Tennis.. .

The success that the T.T. team had was not as great as optimistic forecasts had predicted. However, winning two N.Z.U. titles as well as the teams' knock-out, thus gaining first place in the table tennis was no mean achievement.

The standard of table tennis was high for a N.Z.U. tourney—it had the merit of being more even with fewer outstanding players. Jones hit top form on the night of the finals and found little trouble of disposing of Townsend. His play was up to the best he has shown at Vic. and he maintained this throughout the tournament.

Grubi proved a capable complement to Jones in the doubles. He did well in the teams matches but seemed to find continual driving to break an opponent's defence rather difficult. His steadiness made him an admirable doubles player.

The lack of success of Collins reflected the high standard of the top-bracket players. He, however, bar for one period in the doubles champ. play, failed to reach concert pitch necessary for success.

Cullingford's play was one of the pleasing features of the T.T. match play. He hit hard from both sides of the table and when necessary exhibited a solid defence.

Miss Lesser in the main over-shadowed her more highly favoured team-mate. Miss Fleming. Her close to the table game and quick angle shots broke her opponent's play. She did exceptionally well to reach the final. But here her opponent. Miss Hirsch had become accustomed to her style and found an efficient counter to it.
