History of Table Tennis
This web page, from hickocksports.com, describes the history of the game of table tennis, known to many as ping pong. They trace the game back to British army officers in the late 19th Century, playing with corks and cigar boxes. The game then blossomed in Great Britain after that, known variously as "whiff whaff" and "gossima." Parker Brothers bought the name ping pong, and began manufacturing indoor table tennis kits under that name. There are also links to web sites for USA Table Tennis, a list of Olympic Champions, the Table Tennis Hall of Fame, a glossary of terms, as well as a directory of organizations.
