HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) One of the most unusual
events at the Pennsylvania Farm
Show is the Micro Pong tourna
ment conducted during the final
day in the Family Living area.
Chris Lubkemann Jr. designed
Micro Pong, a scaled-down ver
sion of table tennis using a table
measuring only 48x26'/2-inches.
The contest was open for all ages
with Abner Lapp, Lancaster,
placing first for the third year in
a row.
Executive Pong was also avail
able. This mini-version can be
played between two players or
alone. Lubkemann said that he
often plays Executive Pong while
waiting in airports. The game re
quires intense concentration be
cause the ball bounces back in
forth rapidly within a small area.
Participants sweated profusely
although they barely moved from
their original positions.

inventions, contact him at 2189

Executive Pong can be
played with two players or
alone as demonstrated by
Chris Lubkemann, who de
