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. The basic!

“I’ve always enjoyed art and
as an only child I would invent
new things with my idle time,”
Krug said.
