Beat FdUorites

A complete unknown. he made
his big league table tennis debut
in the 1910 Canadian National
Open. When the tourney ended he
was no longer an unknown. He
had eliminated four favoriteS be-
fore bowling TO Harry Cooke in the
finals.
Burns has won more than his
share of honors since then. He is
now in his second year as Michigan
State champion. In the national
lntercity matches in Chicago. ne
was named the second most out
standing player in the country.
He owns his own table tennis
center across from Wayne Univer-
Sity. He is working out there daily
in preparation for the coming
nationals. He figures that a rating
of second most outstanding PLAYER
in the country is good, but not
good enough.

Urges Early Entry

While the lists won't close for
two weeks, Olsen advises clubs in
tending to enter teams to make
their applications at once so none
will be disappointed and an idea
as TO the makeup of the different
divisions can be had as early as
possible. League matches, of
course, are one day affairs and
played on Wednesday or Sunday.
Like the PEA, the Women'S Dis
trict Association will follow its
schedule of other seasons. The
usual Tuesday morning tourna-
mentS will be played as we'll as the
championship proper late in the
season, and probably the three
day spring medal competition.
