United Press Selects The
Ten
Greatest
Sports
Performances Of 1948
By CORNELIUS RYAN
The year 1918 ranked with the best of any past years in great sports performances, and perhaps was unequalled in the production of new stars who may go on to true greatness, in the opinion of the United Press sports staff.
It was difficult to choose the "ten best performances,' and so close was the voting and so heated the debate that it was decided it would be best not to try to list the top ten in a definite order, since all were outstanding feats and the varying demands of each sport made comparison unfair.
The Un selections as ten bes performances were:

Czecho-Slovakia, who led with Canada in the Olympics last year, but lost premler place on goal average, should be favourites for the world ille, though recent Incidents have robbed them of a number of their top players.
Ono should be able to estimate the present strength of the Czechs by their performances against Harringay Racers, who flew to Prague this. morning.
The Harringay_teami, possibly the strongest in the Engilsh league, are playing six games in Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Ostrava, and Budovici, and will have at least one match.
