1978-1979 Yearbook

TABLE TENNIS_ Back into Action Although idle last year , the Harding table tennis team swung back into action this year. President of the Table Tennis Association, Mike McGaha , got the idea of getting things started up again, and talked it up on campus. With seven members involved , the team participated in round robin tournaments with various schools around the state, along with two independent teams from Little Rock, all members of the Arkansas Table Tennis League. The team's season began right after Christmas break and continued through March. With three games to go, the team's "A" division had a 3-1 record, with the "8" team holding a 1-1-2 record . The team held regular meetings on Sunday and Wednesday nights from 8:00-10:00 p.m. During this time the team held challenge matches against each other to determine their individual rank for each week. The team also practiced on style, form, and skill. In view of next year's team, McGaha commented: "Next year's team is ganna be a lot better, and we hope to have more people involved." 1.
