CAMBRIDGE.

V. Bullivant, of Canterbury, won all three men’s titles and the over-all championship for the McAlpine Cup on the last day of the New Zealand water ski-ing championships at Lake Karapiro on Saturday. He won the men’s jump title for the fourth time and the slalom for the second time. It was his first win in the tricks event

Bullivant’s 23-year-old sister, Vemia, won her first New Zealand title in the women’s jump, an event in which she has previously been runnerup.

Miss J. Hole, of Waikato, was clearly the outstanding woman competitor over the four days. She decisively won two titles and her second placing in the jump resulted in her winning the aggregate honours. Results on Saturday were:
