Table Tennis Championships

A Pleasing feature of this season's championships is the large number of entries. Student apathy must have passed this club by.

The main interest in the men's singles will be centred on the performances of B. Jones and G. Cullingford against the two A grade players A. Darroch and A. Robinson, of Te Tapu Club. Judging by ladder matches to date A. Darroch appears to be the likely winner.

In the women's singles the more seasoned players, E. Leaser and V. Fleming will be severely tested by M. Berry. Miss Berry possesses one of the fastest forehand drives among women playing Wellington club table tennis.

If present form is retained the men's doubles final should be decided between A. Darroch and A. Robinson and B. Jones and R. Gruby. Although only B grade. Jones and Grubi would fully extend if not defeat the two Te Tapu representatives. In the women's and mixed doubles, with little pre-championship play, the competition appears to be more open.—Sports Ed.
