AMES COMPETITION HITS SEMI-FINALS

The four best student law "teams" at the Law School will meet in the semifinal arguments of the Ames Competition this Wednesday and Thursday. The arguments, held before outstanding eastern state and federal judges, will be at 8 o'clock in the Langdell Hall Court Room.

The Powell and Edward Warren Clubs will argue Wednesday on a hypothetical case involving points of taxation, corporate reorganization, and statutory construction. Thursday, the Holmes and Simpson-Sayre Clubs will argue points in watered stock and the law of corporations.

These clubs are the survivors of a two-year moot-court competition, which about 65 clubs originally entered during the students' first year at the school. Winners of this week's arguments will meet in January for the finals of the Ames Competition.

The "bench" on Wednesday night will be Judge Morris A. Stoper, of the United States circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth District; Judge Horace Stern, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; and Judge Vincent L. Leibell of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The Thursday case will be argued before Chief Justice Fred T. Field, of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts; Justice William W, Moss, of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island; and Judge Robert N. Gorman, of the Supreme Court of Ohio.
