Pafee F our SKYSCRAPER Table Tennis Champion, Diving Star Bring Fame, Skill to Freshman Class Dorothy Elkin Won Indiana Tourney In April Three years ago Freshman Dorothy Elkin. then a sophomore at an Indian apolis high school, watched an exhibition table tennis match between two Hun garian players, liellak and I lazi. Her interest was so aroused that she decided to learn the game, and in no time at all proved to be what sports writers call a natural, winning high school tournaments in her sophomore, junior, and senior years. But those didn't really count, she insists. These small victories inspired her to win the Indianapolis Novice in Novem ber, 1939. In October, 1940, she won the Indianapolis Open Tournament, and in March, 1941. she reached the semi finals in the Lake Cities Open Tourna ment, in Toledo. Miss Elkin achieved real success when she won the Indiana State Closed Tournament in April, 1941. Although she never had a coach or teacher, Miss Elkin received helpful ad vice from Jimmy McClure, twice winner of the World's Doubles Championships and winner of the National Singles championship. Contrary to popular opinion, she be lieves lawn tennis does not impair one's table tennis game. Rhythm, foot-work and mental attitude are the same, but. the strokes in the two games differ somewhat. Miss Elkin gave an exhibition match at the Eli Lilly Plant in Indianapolis where she was living at the time. She now resides in Chicago and will be a serious threat in the Chicago District Tournament being played this month. Incidentally, it's table tenuis. not ping-pong just a gentle hint to all aspiring champions. Mary Jane Kent Holds Times Diving Crown 36 Enter Tennis Tourney, Play on Loyola U.
