IN LOS ANGELES, an eminent arm specialist. Dr. Harry Pitts, speaking after Slammett's injury, said, “The human arm is a won derful instrument—strong, rug ged. and almost unlimited in its usefulness—but it cannot with stand the abuse to which it is ex posed in the game of ping pong. “The action in a game of ping pong is devastaing—two men fac ing each other in a battle to the finish with only a tiny net be tween them. Whew! It’s barbaric! They slam the ball at each other at speeds measured at upwards of 25 miles an hour and each time they swing, some damage is done to the tendons, joints and mus cles of the arm. It doesn’t matter whether it is a backhand or a forehand, whether the player is barehanded or wears a glove, the damage is still done.” THE MOST vociferous oppon ent of ping pong, Governor Dull Brain of Disneyland, said Sunday that, “Ping pong should be abol ished The number of ex-players who walk the streets today with one arm hanging uselessly at their sides because of irreparable damage sustained through parti cipation in ping pong attests to this fact. The number of those who bear unsightly scars as a result of run ins with the sharp corner of a ping pong table pre sents another black mark against the sport. “Someday, when man is civil ized, truly civilized, there will be no place for ping pong in our society. Those who attend ping pong matches do so merely to satisfy sadistic tendencies. If there was no ping pong, there would be no sadism.” The duly-elected authority in one midwestern state offered an other sound reason why ping pong should be done away with. “We’ve outlawed cockfights, bearfights, and bullfights,” they reason. “We should at least do the same for humans. After all,” they went on, "we always compare humans to our other animal friends, since they have no more ability to de cide for themselves what is good for them thaq do the animals. As long as we’re running these peo ple’s lives, they’re going to live safely.” SOME HAVE offered sugges tions for cleaning up the sport. “Let’s round off the corners on the tables. That would cut down the number of injuries. And we could make the players swing the paddles with both hands. That would cut down the wear and tear on each arm It might not keep players from becoming mus clebound, but at least they will look better if they are muscle bound in both arms, instead of just one.” Sadly enough, it’s the group of uninformed which is intimately connected with ping pong—those who suffer the dangers and reap the benefits of the sport, who sing its praises.
