Page 4 THE ECHO NOON HOUR ON CAFETERU PORCH PICNIC PING PONG RESULTS The 4th of July Ping Pong Tourna ment played between intermittent showers was featured by some start ling upsets as well as brilliant per formances by some of the more fav orite players. The first seeded player to be elim inated in the men’s singles division was “Slamming” Sam Matthews who bowed against the determined play ing of Buddy Shipman, while Wendell Jeffries supplied one of the tourna ments major upsets by outplaying third-seeded Karl Straus in the round of play. The two favorites Walter Straus and “Bob” Anders reached the finals without losing a set; Straus by eliminating Shipman, and Anders by disposing of Jeffries easily in the semi-final matches. In the finals, which were played on the Cafeteria Porch due to the rain having halted play at the picnic, Walter Straus gave one of the best performances of table tennis ever witnessed on Ecusta’s tables by defeating colorful Bob An ders in four sets by the score of 21:15 21:18 21:23 and 21:16. This match was featured by occasional ral lies by Anders who desperately tried to out-drive his opponent who with amazing retrieving abilities more or less stayed in the defensive, but never once lost control of the game. In the men’s doubles competition Wendell Jeffries and Buddy Ship man, surprised everyone by combining to take over the second-seeded team of Bob Anders and Sam Matthews by the score of 21:19. Walter and Karl Straus reached the finals without any trouble and in the finals met Ship man and Jeffries who had disposed of P. Muffatt and Leonard Bauer in the semi-finals. Before the superior strength of Straus & Straus, Jeffries and Shipman finally met defeat and they went down to the tune of 21:17 21:12 and 21:15. The most interesting and exciting game in the girls’ singles was play ed in the semi-finals between Eula Drake and Sara Jackson with the lat ter finally triumphing by 22:20 to go on into the finals where she easily disposed of Ronnie Orr by 21:13 and 21:6 to take the honors. In the mixed doubles division, Mr. and Mrs. Jeffries had to go three sets to dispose of K. Straus and G. Cochrane while Bob Anders and Eu la Drake upset Ronnie Orr and W. Straus in two straight sets in the ed for Mrs. Jeffries and combined semi-finals. Sara Jackson substituted with W. Jeffries to come back with two straight sets after dropping the finals in this division in an up-hill battle against Eula Drake and Bob Anders. All in all, fine sportsmanship and plenty of enthusiasm was shown by all competitors throughout the en tire tournament. A tournament for the official ping- pong championships of Ecusta will be held shortly, so watch for further announcements. MEN’S SINGLES First Round W. Straus over G. Penland 21:7. J. Wilber over H.
