that with the score standing at2l-all in the second game betweenAmelin and Scholer a dispute aroseover the introduction of theexpedite rule

It was peculiarly resolved by ajury vote of 7-2 in favour of voidshying the existing score and restartingthe game at love-all

REPEAT FINALThe mens final was a repeat of

Message from the Chairman-Elect ofThe English Table Tennis Association

GEORGE YATES REPORTS FROM LYON

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

I WOULD like to thank all thse who ~ave supported me ~n therecent elections for the confidence whIch they have shown zn me

and I will do my very best to try to live up to thisIf English table tennis is to progress fast enough to keep pace

with the developments now taking place in other countries and if it isto reach its full potential it is necessary that all players and officialswithin the ETTA work together for the common aim of improvingthe status of table tennis vis-a-vis other sports in this country

Although great difficulties have beset the ETTA in recent yearsand although there have been disagreements and divisions which haveharmed the image of our sport nevertheless considerable progress hasbeen made in many aspects of English table tennis Very much morecan be done if everyone pulls in the same direction and I appeal toall who have the well-being of English table tennis at heart to make areal effort to help us to make the 196869 season into one duringwhich English table tennis can progress in all its aspects

I myself will always be glad to hear from any player or officialat any level of the game who has views or criticisms and I will dealpersonally with every approach that is made to me The top manageshyment of the ETTA has tended to become too remote from the cluband league level and it is necessary for us to establish a much closercontact with players and officials at the local level This is somethingthat cannot be achieved in a matter of weeks or even months but wemust work towards the ideal of a fully integrated Association inwhich the national officials understand the problems of local clubsand leagues and in which the local players and administrators undershystand the problems with which we have to deal at national andinternational level

Now that the elections are over I hope that we shall all worktogether towards this aim of understanding each others problemstowards a higher status for English table tennis at home and finallybut by no means least towards creating the conditions that will enableour top players to achieve bigger and bigger successes for England ininternational competitions CONRAD JASCHKE

FROM a trailing 2-3 po itionagainst the Soviet Union in

the final of the European mensteam championship at Lyon onApril 20 Sweden launched acomeback to take the next threeets to retain their hold on the

Hungary Cup winning it for thethird successive time

On this occasion they wereindebted to Hans Alser whohaving previously disposed ofGomozkov in straight games beatboth Sarkhojan and Amelin in thefinal gallop

Perhaps fortunate to reach thefinal Sarkhojan had pulled histeam through with last set winsagainst Ves[ -Gtril1any a1ItI Yugo-lavia when the match score had

stood at 4-allGomolla and Stipancic then held

the fate of Russia in their handsbut with scores of 14 -]1 20against the former and J6 -15 17against the latter Sarkis Sarkhojanproved his worth in full measure

The USSR v West Germanymatch had an unusual feature in

ETTA Officer elections resulted in the elevation of Conrad Jaschkefrom the position of Deputy Chairman to that of Chairman insuccession to Ivor Eyles and the deputy position going to Walter Mittonof Yorkshire

Tom Blunn was returned for yet another season as Hon Treasurerin the new administration which will not become effective until afterthe AGM to be held in London on July 6

ubject to this meeting accepting the scrutineers report the votingfimiddotgures at this stage cannot be published

(a) When I first came across therecord it was 36 hours set up bya three-man team playing one hour-A v B A v C B C and so on

Just before we made the attemptthe record was pushed up to 40hours and so we did 42 using thecherne above

(b) Since that time the organisashytion has gone haywire and the nextlttempt (48 hours) was played inlalf-hourIy sessions with the samegtattem as in (a)

Hoh superbly fit combined withHasegawa to win the mens teamstitle and the mens open doublesand with Mieko Fukono won theopen dvubles However he wasno match for his brilliant countryshyman in the singles final

Highlight of the final was thebrilliant counter-hitting off powershyful loop drives with both playersat times forced to the very extremesof the court

Choi Jung Sook No2 ranked inAsia 1967-68 displayed great talentto win the womens singles titlefrom fellow Korean team memberand Asian champion Yun Ki Sookin four games

Miss Choi Jung Sook was thebest of the Korean girls for theChampionships and was the logicalwinner once the Japanese wereeliminated Her clever attackingstyle and lightning reflexes were toomuch for Miss Yun whose gameis based on an excellent shakehandgrip defence with a surp-ise backshyhand kill shot

17-year-old Miss Choi HwanHwan conqueror of world chamshypion Sachiko Morisawa at the 1967Asian Championships once againcaused the upset of the titles bydefeating Japanese champion YukieOzeki in a five-game quarter-final

Miss Ozeki was hot favourite totake the womens title after herundefeated run in the teams eventswhere she beat Choi lung Sooktwice and Choi Hwan Hwan andYun Ki Sook each once

Choi Hwan Hwan impresses byher exuberance and great concenshytration which when combined withspeedy footwork and a crushingforehand attack make her aformidable opponent

The mixed doubles was the mostexciting final with Itoh Fukono(J) picking UP from an almostimpossible deficit of 7-14 and10-16 in the fifth to defeat theKorean pair Kim Chung Yong andChoi Jung Sook at 21-18

Miss Fukono was the star of thisencounter as they wuld have lostin four games had she not hit sixconsecutive forehand kill shots

THE TABLEOF THE FUTU RETODAY

AT a recent meeting of theETTAs newly formed Sponshy

sorship and Publicity Sub-Comshymittee chaired by the NationalCouncillor for Kent CharlesWyles much discussion tookplace on the subject of publicity

With the exception of theDaily Telegraph and to alesser degree the Daily Mailthe lack of it at national presslevel was deplored But a readyappreciation of the space allowedGeoffrey Harrower in the Teleshygraph and Roy Moor in the Mail was unanimously acknowshyledged

It was felt that the onus laystrictly with the membershipitself who could well take it uponthemselves each and individuallyto bemoan the lack of publicityby direct contact wit h thenational Sports Editors

In the meantime however itwas further appreciated that proshyvincial papers were doing anadmirable job and that thismedium could well be used tochannel through mat t e r s ofnational consequence to the rankand file membership

Accordingly it was resolved thatall league secretaries be asked tofurnish a copy of their own localpaper carrying a table tenniscolumn The object of the exershycise being to provide the localcolumnists with press handoutsof a national character whichcould well be incorporated withinthe framework of local happenshyings

If in addition the nationalsother than the aforementionedcould be persuaded to sit up andtake notice by the far from fictishytious membership of 170000then that not insubstantial numshyber could be better catered for

It is not so much the seamierside-though half a loaf is betterthan none-but hard news that isrequired and which has been somuch lacking this season

Aftermath of Umpiring IncidentAT their meeting in February the National Council discussed

the umpiring incident which took place at the SussexOpen Following the discussion it was stated that the NationalCouncil very much regretted the incident and asked that it beplaced on record that they have every faith in Mrs Pat Archdaleas a National Umpire

Furthermore whilst appreciating that under ITTPRegulations the Referee has the power to replace an Umpireif he feels it necessary to do so the NURC have been askedto prepare an amendment which will make it necessary for the IReferee to make a statement to the Umpire and the public

a dramatic finish at Bredburywhen the bearded Roger Hampshyson upset all form to beat Englishinternational Mike Johns to winthe mens singles final

Mike took the first game comshyfortably and led in the secondbefore slipping disastrously andallowing Roger to push prod andat times brilliantly out-hit him towin the final in three games

The most successful performerof the championships was MissJudy Heaps resident of Readingbut playing for Cheshire who wonall the titles open to her In themixed and ladies doubles eventswith partners Doreen Schofield andRoger Hampson she was hardlypressurised but against the experishyenced Di Johnson she looked farfrom the free-flowing player sheusually is She beat Di to win theladies event

The mens doubles went as exshypected to Mike Johns and RogerHampson who beat the veryexperienced Eric Johnson andDerek Schofield a partnership thllltfirst appeared on the tt scene over14 years ago

The womens doubles finalfinished with a blaze of fierce hitshyting from Judy Heaps taking fulladvantage of cunning services thather partner Doreen Schofield hadset up for her

The mixed doubles was won byRoger Hampson and Judy Heapsfrom Mike Johns and Di Johnsonwhile Judys father Derek wonthe veterans title from the playerhe lost to last season Cliff Murgashytroyd

The youths tiotle went to DavidWatson and the boys and girlswinners were Simon Heaps andMiss M Lloyd respectively

Treble for May Duckworth

Far East Inter-Services CAMBS amp ISLE OF ELY OPENTeam Championships

SOON to relinquish his Chairmanship of the National Coaching andSchools Committee Conrad Jaschke can look back on his threeshy

year stint in office with a degree of pride at the developments achieved

Season 1965-66This season coincided with the organisation of the European

Championships which severely restricted the time available both of theChairman and the Director of Coaching Jack Carrington Howeveran important new development at the end of -the season was the appointshyment of Peter Simpson as ETTA Staff Coach (North)

Season 1966-67This was a season of great activity The following were the main

developments shy(a) In December 1966 progress was made towards regionalisation

of the coaching scheme by appointing Regional CoachingLiaison Officers

(b) Also in Decernber the first ETTA School Centre was openedin Nuneaton

(c) During the season the Best-Trained Youth Group competitionwas changed into the Best-Trained School Group competition

(d) A National Schools Table Tennis Championship wasinaugurated overcoming considerable administrative diffishyculties Sixty Education Authorities co-operated

(e) In March 1967 the first issue of The Coach was publishedFollowing production difficulties the second issue did not comeout lr~ January 196l but th~e difficulties have now beenovercome

(f) Further senior training centres on the BradfordjHariowsystem were opened

Season 1967-68 _

(a) A survey was produce~ and sent to all caches and an excellent CHESHIRE CLOSEDresponse of 230 replIes out of 400 clfculars resulted The Ireplies showed that we have 210 active coaches in the scheme by Jim Beckleyand the forms are now being analysed by the Director ofCoaching D tmiddot Fmiddotmiddot h

(b) A system of itineraries has been introduced which enable the rama Ie InlsETTA Officers to be kept informed of the movements andactivities of the coaching staff

(c) A total of five ETTA school centres are now operational

As to the future further possrble changes in the scheme have beendiscussed between the ETTA Officers and the Director of Coachingand will duly be placed before the National Council

Perhaps the most valuable developments will be the grading ofcoaching into different castegories This is something that has beenwanted for many years but which presents great difficulties of anadministrative nature

A plan devised by Jack Carrington and Peter Simpson will providea means of solving the long-standing problem of integrating currentand recent top-class players into the scheme while in no way disturbingthe established rbalance of leaving the direction of the scheme in thehands of the experienced officials who have devised it and nurtured itfor so many years

After three years stewardsbipof this important committee ConradJaschke is indebted to the whole of the National Coaching and SchoolsCommittee for their valuable help and none more so than the DeputyChairman Malcolm Scott Malcolm together with the NationalDirector of Coaching Jack Carrington are truly dedicated

THE second Inter-Services mensteam championships and the

first womens team championshipswere played at RAF Seletar Singashypore over three days

EUROPEAN TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS-Report (Cont from page I) and Detailsof Koczian and Jurik and Maryhad faltered in losing to Koczianfor a result that went 3-2 to theHungarians

In playing Maureen against WestGermany no blame was thereforeattaching to the decision of captainRon Crayden whose young chargeseach in turn failed to measure upthe exacting demands made ofthem and the gulf that existsbetween them and our No 1 playerremains unbridged

As it was Karenza was giventhe final chance to make amendsand this she did against Doris

Hovestadt when with MaryEngland secured fifth position witha 3-0 win over East GermanyPossibly Maureen might have donethe same who can tell

POSITION IMPROVEDWhat then of the men who

improved their position from sixthto No5 team in Europe

Initially grouped with IrelandMalta and Poland little troublewas experienced in gaining Group]B for the second stage matches

But here success deserted us

when the Soviet Union gained a5-2 win in tbe opening matchdespite Ian Harrison repeating hisEuropean League success overGomozkov Denis Neale was notreally with it in this encounter hisonly win being at the expense ofSarkhojan

Another disappointment fol-lowed when Yugoslavia slashedtheir way past us to the tune of5-1 Neale merely halting theonslaught in beating youngStipancic A feature of this matchwas that no set needed a deciderand Surbek reversed the defeat

inflicted on him by Neale in theEnglish Open

Came the crunch matchagainst West Germany and in thisbattle for a battle it was StuartGibbs came into his own by defeatshying Jansen in the opening set andthen when the chips were downat 4-4 beat Micheiloff in the ninthand deciding set

Neale too beat the same twoopponents Micheiloff losing a thirdtime to Harrison but Scholer wassupreme Winning all his three setsin straight games

So it was for position 5 or 6

that we finally took on Rumaniaand humbled them with a 5-1 winin which both Neale and Gibbstook credit especially the latterwho got us off to a good start bybeating Negulescu and subseshyquently with England leading 3-1taking Giurgiuca in his stride in abrilliant decider Harrison adminisshytered the coup de grace with a winover Kovacs

The reverse suffered by IrelandsJim Langan at the hands of Nealewas his only one in 18 sets trulya meritorious performance by anystandards

European Individual Championships (contmiddotfrompage) NOTES FROM LYONby THE EDITOR

finally annexing the mens doublestitle at the expense of the holdersAlser and Johansson

Jt was an impressive feat for theYugoslav pair whose earlier vicshytims included fourth seeds Scholerand Ernst Gomolla of WestGermany and Beleznai and IstvanJonyer of Hungary who hadknocked out second seeds VladoMiko and Jaroslav Stanek of

middotCzechoslovakiaEnglands Mary Wright and

Karenza Smith can count themshyselves extremely unfortunate not tohave contested the womensdoubles final won by the CzechsMarta Luzova and Jitka Karlikovafrom Grinberg and Rudnova

Against the Czech pair in thesemis Mary and Karenza held acommanding 19-12 lead in the fifthgame yet unbelievably lost 24-26

A beaten semimiddotfinalist in thewomens singles Mary contested athird penultimate set in the mixedwith Denis Neale but a 2-1advantage counted for nought asGomozkovRudnova took comshymand as they did in the finalagainst Rumanias Dorin Giurgiucaand Maria Alexandru

In beating teams of such conshysequence as Poland West Germanyand finally Rumania for fifth placein the team championships onehad the right to expect considershyably more than what was achievedby our men in the individualevents

First on in the singles was AlanHydes opposed to the CzechRotislav Stepanek but afterlevelling at 1-1 the Yorkshire leftshyhander rarely looked to be in witha chance

Next to the table was IanHarrison who capable of so muchbetter bitterly disappointed ingoing out three straight toPolands Andrzej Domicz a playerwho in the team match had lostin two straight to both Stuart Gibbsand Neale This defeat was a realJet down after the way Harrison]lad played to plaster Domiczsteam-mates Janusz Kusinski andWitold Wuznica

BAD DRAWGibbs too fell at the first hurdle

although one could hardly quarrelwith the result which was 3-1 infavour of Borzsei the beaten

finalist It was a bad draw for theEssex player

Neale however kept horneinterest alive with straight vicshytories over Finlands Seppo Elsinenand Robert Bishop of Pays deGalles (Wales)

Opera singer Hans Micheiloff ofWest Germany then put up spiritedresistance to the English championbut after winning the first gamehad his key changed and thearia to a lament

It was in the fourth round thatthe Yorkshireman really came intohis own with a devastating displayagainst Yugoslavs Istvan Korpawhich carried him through to faceJohansson in the quarters

Well as Neale played in thislatter encounter the Swede playedjust that much better and noneould decry his efforts despite theloss

Irelands J illl Langan had atremendous tussle with Miko in thefirst round losing only in the fifthbut having advanced to Round 3Malcolm Sugden failed to carryScotlands hopes any further losingto Gomozkov in straight games

Both Karenza Smith andMaureen HeppeJJ took an earlydeparture from the counterpartwomens event losing in the firstround to Edit Buchholz and Reslerrespectively

Mary however was in splendidform in accounting for JanaPauknerova Christiane Andre andEva Koczian all in three straight

Then carne the quarters and am~cting with West GermanysAgnes Simon who got off to a 2-0lead Gritting her teeth the Surreyace then showed her mettle bycarrying the fight to her opponentand seeing her off in the next three

Alas there was to be no repeatagainst Rudnova in the semisalthough having lost the first twogames the possibility seemed onwhen Mary held a 20-15 lead inthe third But it was not to be asIhe Soviet penholder took the nextseven points for the set

COMMENDABL~EFFORT

Commendable was the effort ofScotlands Lesley Barrie in takingEnglish Open winner EleonoraMihalca of Rumania to five gamesand only losing the fifth at 19But spare a thought for Danuta

Szmit-Calinska of Poland who inthe third round after beating Cirila MOSCOW will welcome competitors for the 1970 European ChamshyPirc lost 21-0 to Luzova Danuta pionships and thereafter in 1972 Rotterdam Options for futurewas also 0-7 in the second game championships are held by Yugoslavia (1974) East Germany (1976)before she opened her account and Hungary (1978)

In their last match they beattheir nearest rivals Phones II by6-4 In this match John Ashmanwon all his three sets including awin over the Cambs County playerSteve Andrews

In Division 2 the battle wasagain between Soham and Phonesthis time both third teams were inaction with Soham emerging vicshytorious 7-3 Alan Jugg and Les~dwards both had 100 per centrecords for Soham and togetherwon the doubles

attempt was completely unofficialand done to suit themselves Letme illustrate

(a) When I first came across therecord it was 36 hours set up bya three-man team playing one hour-A v B A v C B C and so on

Just before we made the attemptthe record was pushed up to 40hours and so we did 42 using thecherne above

(b) Since that time the organisashytion has gone haywire and the nextlttempt (48 hours) was played inlalf-hourIy sessions with the samegtattem as in (a)

I think this method a little easierJecause in the method outlined ina) the players play two hoursvithout a break as against onelOur in (b)

(c) Four-man teams were triedNith first hour A v B second C vJ third A v D fourth B v C fifth v C and sixth B v D and so on[hen came the German eight-manearn with each member only playshyng for 511 hours spread over 111lays When we did it eachllayed 28 hours spread over 42lours

Obviously the Germans had itrery easy compared with the)riginal idea But if anything islrganised as per the challenge oflrian Worts I would suggest fromgtersonal experience that a medicalest before the event be a mustltndurance tests of this natureould have long term effects on theaealth

During play there should beJlenty of people about (talk breaks~he monotony) a first-aid man(muscle fatigue cramp etc)aterers scorers and sleeping quarshyters

Undoubtedl the star of theChampionships was Hasegawawho did not concede a game in hisquest for the mens singles titledefeating Shigeo Itoh the Japanesetitleholder in the final

Hoh superbly fit combined withHasegawa to win the mens teamstitle and the mens open doublesand with Mieko Fukono won theopen dvubles However he wasno match for his brilliant countryshyman in the singles final

Highlight of the final was thebrilliant counter-hitting off powershyful loop drives with both playersat times forced to the very extremesof the court

Choi Jung Sook No2 ranked inAsia 1967-68 displayed great talentto win the womens singles titlefrom fellow Korean team memberand Asian champion Yun Ki Sookin four games

Miss Choi Jung Sook was thebest of the Korean girls for theChampionships and was the logicalwinner once the Japanese wereeliminated Her clever attackingstyle and lightning reflexes were toomuch for Miss Yun whose gameis based on an excellent shakehandgrip defence with a surp-ise backshyhand kill shot

17-year-old Miss Choi HwanHwan conqueror of world chamshypion Sachiko Morisawa at the 1967Asian Championships once againcaused the upset of the titles bydefeating Japanese champion YukieOzeki in a five-game quarter-final

Miss Ozeki was hot favourite totake the womens title after herundefeated run in the teams eventswhere she beat Choi lung Sooktwice and Choi Hwan Hwan andYun Ki Sook each once

Choi Hwan Hwan impresses byher exuberance and great concenshytration which when combined withspeedy footwork and a crushingforehand attack make her aformidable opponent

The mixed doubles was the mostexciting final with Itoh Fukono(J) picking UP from an almostimpossible deficit of 7-14 and10-16 in the fifth to defeat theKorean pair Kim Chung Yong andChoi Jung Sook at 21-18

Miss Fukono was the star of thisencounter as they wuld have lostin four games had she not hit sixconsecutive forehand kill shots

THE TABLEOF THE FUTU RETODAY

AT a recent meeting of theETTAs newly formed Sponshy

sorship and Publicity Sub-Comshymittee chaired by the NationalCouncillor for Kent CharlesWyles much discussion tookplace on the subject of publicity

With the exception of theDaily Telegraph and to alesser degree the Daily Mailthe lack of it at national presslevel was deplored But a readyappreciation of the space allowedGeoffrey Harrower in the Teleshygraph and Roy Moor in the Mail was unanimously acknowshyledged

It was felt that the onus laystrictly with the membershipitself who could well take it uponthemselves each and individuallyto bemoan the lack of publicityby direct contact wit h thenational Sports Editors

In the meantime however itwas further appreciated that proshyvincial papers were doing anadmirable job and that thismedium could well be used tochannel through mat t e r s ofnational consequence to the rankand file membership

Accordingly it was resolved thatall league secretaries be asked tofurnish a copy of their own localpaper carrying a table tenniscolumn The object of the exershycise being to provide the localcolumnists with press handoutsof a national character whichcould well be incorporated withinthe framework of local happenshyings

If in addition the nationalsother than the aforementionedcould be persuaded to sit up andtake notice by the far from fictishytious membership of 170000then that not insubstantial numshyber could be better catered for

It is not so much the seamierside-though half a loaf is betterthan none-but hard news that isrequired and which has been somuch lacking this season
