Dazzling Shirts
A solemn body of men met in London recently to debato a solemn problem. What should table tennis players wear? Tho debaters were members of the executive of the English Tablo Tennis Association. They wefo from Manchester, Liverpool, Pontefract. Newcastle, St. Albans, Birmingham and Hastings. Tho trouble is that some leading plavers have shown a tasto for dazzling shirts and blouses, which do not make things easy for spectators. So tho committee decided to recommend tho 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 not accord with contemporary standards of taste.” And they left it at that.
