Kent, Holmes In Ames Final

The law School's Kent Club and Holmes Club will meet in early April in the third-year finals of this year's Ames Competition. No information has been released about the case they will argue or about the Supreme Court Justice who will preside over the finals.

Winners in the second-year qualifying rounds are the Kent, Jeremiah Smith Equity, Coke, Brandeis, E. Warren, Marshall Law, Casner Equity, and Scott Powell clubs. These eight groups will compete in the quarter-finals this, Spring; from there, four will go on to the semifinals next Fall. Thirty-five clubs competed in the qualifying arguments.

Kent and Holmes clubs won their semifinal arguments in December. Each club consists of eight men, two of whom deliver the argument in each competition.

This year, 68 first-year clubs are competing in practice arguments, but none will be eliminated until the qualifying rounds next Fall, when eight will be chosen from among them. Among the total of 514 first-year competitors are approximately 14 women.

John W. Scott, Jr. Faculty Assistant in charge of the Ames Competition, is supervising the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals of the competition. Bernard Nemtzow, chairman of the Board of Student Advisors, is in charge of the preliminary and qualifying arguments.
