A SERIOUS PROBLEM
A solemn body of men met in London recently to debate a solemn problem. What should table tennis players wear? The debaters were members of (lie executive of the English Table Tennis Association. They were from Manchester, Liverpool, Pontefract, Newcastle, St. Albans, Birmingham, and Hastings. The trouble is that some leading players have shown a taste for dazzling shirts and blouses, which do not make things easy for spectators. So the committee decided to recommend the wearing of a self-coloured shirt “ with a grey lower part.” They did not go further than that. Nor did they state a preference for shorts, skirts, or trousers. They just agreed “that no table tennis player would wear anything which did hot accord with contemporary standards of taste' And they left it at that.
