Table Tennis Seeds Survive 4 Rounds

All seeded players were still unbeaten after four rounds in the men’s singles event at the New Zealand table tennis championships being held in Cowles Stadium.

R. J. Scott (Canterbury) scored a good win over R. Taylor (Auckland) in the third round, the score being 15-21, 19-21, 21-16, 21-19, 22-20. In the following round a Wellington junior, B. Gregory, made light work of Scott and beat him, 21-19, 21-18, 21-11. D. J. Kalin also scored a good victory over B. T. Cross, 20- 23-21, 21-16, 21-17. B. A. Shewan (South Canterbury) provided a most spectacular match against a New Zealand ranked player, K. T. O’Carrell (Northland). Both players form their game around their perfected loop drives but Shewan showed a better attacking game and continually forced his opponent back from the table, to win, 15-21, 21-15, 21-18, 22-20. In the women’s singles Miss L. M. Stevenson (Wellington) scored a good win over Miss B. C. Packwood (Auckland), 21- 12-21, 21-19, 21-18. In the veteran women’s doubles Miss M. Broadbent and Mrs I. E.
