WARREN LAW CLUB WINS FINALS OF AMES CONTESTS

The twentieth Ames Competition, the finals of which were held in the Court Room in Langdell Hall last night, was won for the second time in succession by the Edward Warren Club.

The Warren Club, which was represented by V. V. R. Booth 31, and R. F. Young 3L, acted as Counsel for the Defendant in a case of equity affecting trade secrets and unfair competition. The Scott Club, upholding the side of the plaintiff, was represented by E. B. Hanley Jr. 3L, and C. A. Howard Jr. 3L.

The winners were decided solely on the merit of their argument, the decision being based on four points: the structure of the briefs, the value of the cases cited, the presentation, and ability to answer questions propounded by the judges.

The judges were the Honorable W. S. Kenyon. United States Judge of the Eighth Circuit; the Honorable Smith Hickenlooper, United States Judge of the Sixth Circuit; and the Honorable Kenneth MacKintosh, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Washington.

The winning club received an award of $360 while the Scott Club was awarded $200.
