WORLD TABLE TENNIS
CHAMPIONS AT
AN EARLY AGE
By Frank Poxon
London, Jan. 30.
The two new world's singles champions of table tennis are both 17 years old. They are B. Vana (Creelo-Blovakia) and. Miss Trudi Pritzi (Austria).
Finals at the Wembley Arena on Saturday night drew a crowd of nearly 10,000, and much of the piny was brilliant in the extreme,
There was one exception, the women's singles final, in which Miss Pritzi bent Miss Depeirisova (Czecho- Slovakia) 21-13, 21-13, 21-17. A section of the crowd got annoyed with the cautious nature of the play and there was some booing.
Miss Pritzi was in last year's final, which wou declared void owing to the length of the rallies. There WOR never any dunger of that happening on Saturday.
The new men's singles champion had a great night, for he beat G. V. Barnu in the semi-final and R. Berg- mann, the previous champlon, in the inal. Vană produced a flerce fore- hand drive and he broke down the defence of both Barna and Bergmanın, Vann's score in the final was: 20~~~22, 21-0, 21-10, 21-14.
He is the best player of his age in the history of table tennis and may be supreme for nome yeurn
