Life-Saving Australians Win At Oakura
(New Zealand Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH January 2. Demonstrating a relaxed drill, in contrast to the stiffer style of the Taranaki clubs, the visiting Australian surf team took moat of the honour* against Taranaki aurf clubs at Oakura t<xlay. The visitors won four of the five events and gained second place in the last of the day, the four-man beach relay. Q. Smith (Opunake) had a great tussle with H. Kenny (Australia), in the four-man alarm event, with only five seconds between them. Conditions were not favourable, a strong wind keeping the surf relatively flat. Results:—
Six-man Reel and Resuscitation.— Australia 1, Old Boys 2, Fitzroy 3. Junior Surf Race.—W. Chipchase (Australia) 1, N. Penwarden (Fitzroy) 2. M. Walsh (Fitzroy) 3. Four-man Alarm.—Australia 1, East End 2, Old Boys 3. Senior Surf Race.—J. Donohoe (Australia) 1, W. Knott (Australia) 2, H. Kenny (Australia) 3.
