The Spike: or, Victoria College Review June 1902

Ping-Pong Tournament

Ping-Pong Tournament.

A most successful ping-pong tournament, inaugurated by the Hockey Club, and disrespectfully though alliteratively dubbed by a College wit "Beere's Benefit," was held in the Central Hall -on the night of June 3rd. The ladies' championship was stubbornly contested, being eventually won by Miss Fleming, who seemed good enough to have carried off the men's championship too had she competed for it. R. Beere won the men's champion-ship rather easily, playing soundly if not brilliantly, while most of his opponents failed to ping as they should pong so to speak.

During the evening a match was played between the Professors and a team of students, in which the latter came out victorious, though not by a large margin.

Professor Maclaurin presented the prizes won during the evening, and, the tables being cleared with magical swiftness, a short impromptu dance brought this enjoyable evening to a close.
