Table tennis, game of contra By Kelly Laughlin Of The Print Table tennis is a game of quickness, poise, and control. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with these essential qualities, but with a good in structor, they can be developed. Looking for a place to play is no longer a problem. The College now has a facility for table tennis enthusiasts. A table tennis club, initiated by former national champ and college instructor Mayo Roy, is continuing its tradition this year with a six-member roster and “can handle many more,” said Roy. The group meets Tuesdays and Thursdays; from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Randall Gym nasium. They’re just a small group of table tennis enthusiasts, working to improve their game. “It is hopeful that we can develop some sort of team, but it all depends on what kind of turnout develops,” she said. Desire, according to Roy, is really the only requirement for turning out. Roy knows about the opportunities a lot of desire for the game can open up. As a junior in high school, she won the Chicago inner city playoffs, and in 1940 as a sophomore in college, went to Japan, after winning the mixed doubles competition nationally. She also reigned as the Pacific Coast Champion for nearly 10 years. A veteran of the game, Roy started during the Depression, when table tennis was “the sport” because it required so lit tle equipment to play. Going from sandpaper paddles, to sponge and rubber, Roy can teach a thing or two about the game. In little more than 10 minutes, playing opposite her, competitions.
