HARRIS ELECTED BRITAIN'S SPORTSMAN
OF THE YEAR
London, Feb. 7.-Cycling, a "Cinderella" sport in Britain, has received a great fillip through the election of Reg Harris, the World Professional Sprint Champion, as the "Sportsman of the Year" in the national ballot organised by the "Sporting Record."
A nationwide poll gave Harris 22,188 votes out of a total of 166,524 as the man who had done most in 1919 to raise the prestige of British sport.
Commenting on the result in an interview with the "Sporting Record," Harris said: "The great sport of eyelling has always seemned in the, hack street' in this country, whereas on the Continent it has a tremendous hold on public interest. I feel sure that when people learn a evelist has been elected ahead of noccer stars, boxers and cricketers it will mean big things for cycling, and long overdue recogni- them."

KNUCKLE RAPS FROM
SZABAD NEP
Budapest, Feb. 7. The controlled Hungarian press on Tuesday severely criticised Richard Bergmann of England and Ferenc Soos of Hungary for alleged go- slow tactics in the finals of the Men's Singles of the recent World Table Tennis Tournament.
Bergmann defeated Zoos in 21 gruelling five-set match lasting 105 minutes.
"The finals of the Men's Singles brought ping-pong and not table tennis," said Szabad Nep, organ of the Hungarian Communist Party.
