Walker's other world By DOUG WALKER A scuffle broke out at Wawasee High School Thursday during a varsity ping-pong match involving the Warriors and the Chilicothe Comets. There were no injuries or arrests, but first reports indicate many lawsuits relating to the incident may be filed. The fight broke out during a singles match between Warrior Mike Ray and Comet Leroy “Buzz” Swartz. “Buzz was leading Mike by a considerable margin when it all started.” said spectator Mark Stiffler. “The match was nearly over when Mike suddenly threw his paddle at Buzz'. Both benches emptied and the fight was on.” The two teams went to opposite sides of the gym and began to hurl ping-pong balls at one another. “The ping-pong battle reminded me of Custer’s Last Stand,” commented Stiffler. “The Comets tried to use an organized offensive line, and didn’t even have a defensive strategy. The Warriors used gorilla warefare methods and in my opinion, clearly won the contest.” The uprising lasted for 47 minutes. “They might still be fighting," said Stiffler, “if the officials hadn’t called in the National Guard.” Order had nearly been restored, when the enraged Mike Ray struck again. He captured Lloyd “Spunky” Brannum, a 3’2” midget who serves as the Comets manager and mascot, and barricaded himself in the school’s boiler room. Ray refused to give in. or even answer to, the National Guard’s plea for Brannum’s release. After five tense hours, Stiffler came up with the idea of having Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., plead with Ray through a megaphone. “If Efrem Zimbalist can’t save that midget, nobody can,” he commented. Zimbalist happened to be skeet-shooting on a nearby field, and he gladly complied with Stiffler’s wishes. Given a megaphone, Zimbalist demanded that Ray come out in the name of the law. When there was no reply, an impatient National Guardsman kicked the door down. Spectators were stunned to find Ray and Brannum involved in a chess match. Zimbalist was immediately arrested for impersonating an officer. He was later released, when Ray decided not to press charges. “We all make mistakes.” said Ray. “Efrem’s only human.”
