Thanks to all who replied to my clues.  I was just wondering if any of you are professional compers and make a living out of it or just plain bright.

I'm amazed, and surprised that perhaps you do not enter some of the more difficult competitions, I'm only OK but have managed to pick up a few bob and some prizes.  Mind you I have been comping for over 10 years. I've got three to go, can you help?

Is it possible the letter A is wrong in Better Sportsman (7) H???a?r       ?  I can't find a match for those letters.

The answer looks as if it should be HUSTLER.
It has this definition:  To misrepresent one's skill in a game or activity in order to deceive someone, especially in gambling.

I Think space ahead is   House Room

[gen2]

I suggested 'hedge room' because it was a term I have used (maybe erroneously).  I confirmed it by finding it used in the same sense on the internet.  I have now looked it up in Chambers and it isn't in there !  In that case I will agree that valerieb1254 has a better answer.

With regard to the 5 letter word starting and ending with T
These are all the matches that Chambers throws up and I cannot fit any of them to the clue, sorry.
