From August 1 through 15, Princeton hosted the
10th World Junior Men's tournament at Jadwin Gym --
the first time any world championship was ever
hosted in the United States. On August 8 Ong Beng
Hee of Malaysia won the individual championship,
defeating Wael Hatem El-Hendy of Egypt. On August
15, England defeated Egypt for the team
championship, with Pakistan and France placing
third and fourth.
The tournament featured
nearly 200 players under 19 years of age, in both
individual and team competition, with the three-man
teams representing 32 different countries. The
final rounds were played in a specially designed
four glass-wall court that provided visibility for
1,000 spectators on the main floor of the gym.
