PASADENA, California, Sept. 30 -- The California Institute of Technology issued the following news:
"I played tennis and squash in college, but I took up pingpong at Caltech about 10 years ago because it requires quick reflexes and cunning. They fade more slowly with age than the skills needed for other sports. Now I'm 84, and I still have cunning. The graduate students were great. They shepherded me along, got me used to 11-point scoring, and got me into tricky serves and spin . . .
