are competent in every respect ard
have back OF them the stamina that
comes to those who have had to hustle
for themselves.
The Agricultural college team is
composed of w. Mendenhall and r,
wife. Mendenhall Eas the record OF
having the highest average of any
male student in the college and WIS
is an excellent student and very
efficient talker. These young men are
ambitious students applying them
selves with full heartedness to their
work with results that are most
gratifying. They are without doubt
the strongest team that could possibly
have been chosen. .....
With this excellent lineup for both
the University of California and the
agricultural college a rare contest is
assured and one that should create a
lot of enthusiasm, not only among the
students OF the college alone, but
among every citizen of North Dakota
who is interested in the agricultural
college or the educational matters in
general.
