Table Tennis Progress

Table Tennis Progress

The Club, having just procured two new tables and new equipment, will soon be able to commence its activities in earnest. Club nights will probably be on Tuesdays and Saturdays, when balls will be provided by the Club. On all other occasions members will be expected to provide bats and balls.

Good table tennis is not possible on bad tables. If the tables are scratched and chipped a good standard will be hard to attain. Therefore, students treat the tables with care.

It is seldom that an all Black Rugby team contains two men who are also New Zealand representative cricketers. In W. Carson and E. Tindill the 1938 All Blacks have two very fine all-round sportsmen. Probably the finest cricketer-footballer in the British Empire to-day is the South African, H. G. Owen-Smith. A tower of strength in the South African cricket team that toured England (a century-maker in a Test), he later went to Oxford, won a boxing blue. And later captained England at Rugby. He played at full-back.
