N have of gathering bit Of the

this week at Tech High School, rest
on the slim shoulders Of 17-year-
old youth who has been playing the
game but two years.
But during that time Elias Schu-
man. who spends the major portion
of his day studying to be a professor
at Wilson Teachers College. has ad-
vanced from an unknown in local
table tennis circles to the place where
he stancs today, recognized as the
Districts leading figure in the paddle
pastime.
Schuman, the No. racketer here
about, not only has exceeded In skill
a number of players who have been
swatting the little white pellet in
Washington recreation rooms, club
courts and gymnasiums for years. but
now holes the championship of two
cities. having beaten Baltimore's best
in the recent Washington-Baltim
test.
A driving. never-give-up sort
of fellow, Schuman is looked to with
fondest hopes, if not with the utmost
confidence to bring Washington
greater national honor in table tennis
than it ever before has gained.
Local officials regard Eduardo Yap,
a former Philippine champion. and
the Sherfey twins, Raphael and Laur-
ence, as potential ope-upsetters, but
do not regard their chances half so
favorably as they do that of the
Districts reigning ping king.
He probably will get his first whack
at some of the countrys finest on
Thursday. when the big tournament,
which will decide Americas repre-
sentatives for the world champion
ship in Czechoslovakia next March.
gets under way at Tech Highs GYM
nasium. Nearly every ranking player
in the United States is entered in the

What promises to be new thrill
for local sports lovers will be seen

"At least some of the insect pests
on golf courses will be fewer" DR..
Monteith says. "Grubs and earth
worms and other subterranean insects
usually go so deep into the soil that
they are not affected by the surface
conditions. Sod webworns chinch
bugs. leaf hoppers and other insects
which pass the Winter at or near the
surface of the soil, however, are espe-
cially subject to rapid changes in tenn
perature and to dessication. With a
snow cover. however. external condi-
tons have little or no effect.
'The rapid changes in temperature
and the alternate freezing and thaW-
Ing will loosen the soil so that both
water and air will penetrate more
easily Some turf will even be loosened
to the extent that light rolling may
be necessary to firm the sod into
place."
