Scott Opposes Ellenborough in First Match in Langdell Center

With two months of careful preparation behind them, four Ames Competition semi-finalist clubs will meet today and tomorrow in Langdell Center at 8 o'clock to determine the right to enter the final round in the competition for the Law School's most valuable trophy.

The semi-finalist clubs who are to compete for the Ames prize today and tomorrow are the Scott Club, the Ellenborough Club, Cooley, and Parke-Warren. Two third-year law students will uphold the legal skill of each club.

Scott Faces Ellenborough

The case that is to be argued tonight will find the Scott Club, represented by W. G. Katz 3L, and H. M. Nowlan 3L, arguing against the Ellenborough group, championed by C. C. Ives 3L, and C. B. Newhall 3L.

The case to be argued tonight has been chosen because of the opportunity it affords for skillful debate and because of the many interesting questions of law that it involves. In brief, the battle will be fought around the wrongful intermingling by a trustee, who is also a beneficiary, of funds of his own and those of the trust, and the conflicting claims of the original beneficiaries of the trust and those claiming under the trustee.

'85, Justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts.
