...faster on land than anyone else, Sir Malcolm Campbell immediately found himself faced by a corollary problem: where to do it? He spent five years inspecting beaches & deserts, finally picked out Daytona Beach, Fla. as the place best suited to his purposes. Wind and rain last spring delayed his sprint for weeks, finally prevented Sir Malcolm from making more than a picayune world's record of 276 m.p.h. He began the search again.

The regatta, in which a Harvard shell was also entered, climaxed the season of sprint races in the East. Because the Washington Sophomores who nosed out California by 2 yd. (TIME, April 22) at the start of the season have lately been so sluggish that their coach has threatened to demote them to the junior varsity, the winner of the Severn race may well be favorite...
