WILL TRY AGAIN
If Smith Succeeds LAND SPEED RECORD Campbell’s Intentions By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Rec March 15, 5.5 p.m.) London, March 14. Sir Malcolm Campbell, in an exclusive interview with the Australian Press Association, said: “If the information concerning his car is correct, I believe Wizard Smith stands an excellent chance of beating my Daytona record in his forthcoming .attempt on the ninety-mile beach, New Zealand. If he does I will certainly go to New Zealand with the Blue Bird aqd make an attempt to regain the record. Smith’s engine is the same as mine. With an average amount of luck and good, conditions I quite expect him to pull off the record. ■ “The Blue Bird, now en route to the Buenos Aires exhibition, still has a few miles hourly in reserve,” said Sir Malcolm. “It has been' tuned up in view of the possibility of another record run. At the moment I hear of Smith’s success I shall prepare for going to New Zealand, feeling confident that the Blue Bird can travel faster than any other car in the world to-day.”
