KENT AND MARSHALL CLUBS MEET IN AMES PRIZE FINALS

The final round in the elimination tournament for the Ames Prize will be held in Langdell Centre this evening at 7.30 o'clock. Marshall and Kent are the two clubs that have survived the competition and they will argue this evening on the question, "Constitutional Law--Can a state by statute acquire jurisdiction over a non-resident by service on his local agent in a cause of action arising out of business transacted within the state?" M. V. Rinehart 3L., and E. O. Tabor 3L will argue for Marshall, while F. L. Daily 3L. and R. Driscoll 3L. will represent Kent.

The Hon. William C. Loring '72, of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts will be the presiding judge; and the Hon. James M. Morton, Jr., '91, of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and the Hon. Charles T. Davis '84, of the Land Court, will act as associate judges. The winning club will receive a prize of $200 and a set of books, while the loser will get a second prize of $100 and a set of books.

The competition which ends tonight is the first to be conducted under the new arrangement instituted last year, whereby the prize is competed for in a two-year competition. The contest consists now in a qualifying tournament open only to second-year law clubs, the four clubs doing the best work in this round gaining the privilege of competing the next year in the final competition. The four clubs that survived last year's round and hence who competed in this year's tournament were Kent, Marshall, Moody and Westengard.
