WILL ASK TABLE
TENNIS REVISION
D. c. Delegate to Urge Loss
of Point, Not Match, for
"Pushing" Tactics.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

A fundamental change in national
table tennis code will be proposed by
a delegate Of the District association
at the annual meeting of the Rules
Committee in Philadelphia this month.
as an outgrowth of the dispute still
causing controversy among 700 fans
who were present at the Eastern
championships at Heurich's gym
nasium last Sunday night. ,s
Despite the fact that violation of
the anti-pushing rule calls for for
feiture of the match by the offending
player, according to national legisla-
ton, local association has authority
to modify such penalty by Section E
of Bylaw q OF U. S. T. T. A. rules
which reads:
g. When the nature of any
match is considered to have become
detrimental to the game. the question
of whether it shall be defaulted or
otherwise dealt with is LETT entirely
to the discretion Of the Tournament
Committee.
Take Lenient Step Here.
Prior to the start Of the Eastern
sponsored by the D. c. T. T. A., the
local association took advantage OF
the words "or otherwise dealt with
in the foregoing bylaw by ruling that
violation of the anti-pushing rule, or
the act of "chiseling," would result
only in the loss of a point by the
offender, and not the match.
Thus, when the semi-final last Sun
day between Sol Schiff and Isadore
Bells reached the pushing stage
there appeared to be violation Of
the national rule. which should have
resulted in immediate cessation Of the
match. Both Schif and Bells ad-
mitted ignorance of the pushing rule
Adherents of the local body!
opinion that the loss of point i.
sufficient penalty is based on the con.
tention that the legal offender may
be forced into using a defensive stroke
which merely resembles chiseling. Or
again, chiseling tactics may only BE-
come prevalent when one of the con
testants starts that kind of game.
