Gardner Club Downs Story in Ames Finals

The Gardner Club last night won the Law School's annual Ames Competition. Associate Justice Harold H. Burton of the U.S. Supreme Court, Chief Justice Stanley E. Qua of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and Associate Justice Nathan L. Jacobs of the New Jersey Court served as judges for the Competition's finals.

The winning club was represented in last night's mock appeal by third-year law students John A. Mitchell and Archibald C. Spencer '51. John W. Dickey and L. LeMoyne Ellicott argued for the Story Club, which the Gardner Club defeated in the finals.

Burton, commenting on the performances of the four speakers, said that the student lawyers provided the audience of over 400 with an "extraordinarily fine presentation."
