FOUR LAW CLUBS IN FINALS

The new arrangement made last year in the rules governing the Law School Clubs' competition for the Ames Prize received its first real trial this year. The competition now consists of 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 a final competition. The four clubs that survived last year's qualifying tournament and are eligible this year are Kent, Marshall, Moody, and Westengard. Owing to the new arrangement no prizes were given last year, but this year two prizes id $100 with sets of books, will be given to those clubs finishing first and second respectively in the final competition.

Semi-Finals Week of Nov. 8.

The semi-final round of this final competition will be held during the week of November 8, when Kent, represented by F. L. Daily 3L and R. Driscoll 3L meets Moody, represented by 1 Levin 3L and M. V. Rinehart 3L meets Westengard, represented by S. S. Gillam 3L and S. Smith 3L. Three Boston lawyers will sit as associate justices on each case.

Large Number of Second-Year Clubs

To date 18 clubs have entered this year's qualifying tournament, which promises to be the most closely contested that has ever been held. A club must maintain a membership of eight men and each club will argue six cases with competitors determined by the advisers. No man however, will be allowed to argue more than once until at least six other members of the club have argued.
