31 WOMEN'S TEAM DEB A TE The call for hands to represent the DSTC ranch in the annual debate round- ups went out to the yokels and lasses of this spread at the beginning of the winter quarter. Several volunteered and presented themselves to Boss Dr. Lokken. The Boss made arrangements for tryouts to see who could shoot straight argu- ments and lasso evidence. Three of the ranch's greats. Mrs. Robinson, Miss Rother and Mr. Pulver, were asked to select the proof busters. After a windy evening and due consideration the fol- lowing cowgirls were chosen: Evelyn Morland, Esther Kurle and Mary German. The cowboys selected to do the rodeo work were: Perry Iron-Man” Bruvold and Wallace Two-Gun” Maxie, as senior artists, and Elmer Sagebrush” Morland. Eugene Cactus” Riehl and John Pan-Handle” Funk, as junior per- formers. On February 7 and 8 the rodeo staff participated in the Red River Valley Rodeo at Concordia college. Moorhead. Minnesota. In this fray the maidens came off with a fine string of four wins while the men of the ranch garnered two wins each. Later in the year, on March 3, 4 and 5, the staff again trundled their chuck- wagons away and this time to St. Paul. Minnesota, to match skills with the cowboys and cowgirls from all over the nation, at the colleges of St. Thomas and St, Catherine. The maidens vanquished their opponents three times while the senior punchers scored four times suc- cessfully. The junior bronc busters waged winning contests twice. The en- tire staff rode herd on a street car for one day in Minneapolis and enjoyed it immensely. To finish the season the DSTC wranglers camped in Minot on March 21 and 22 to compete in the state rodeo. In this affair the junior herders tied for first place. The senior riders copped off third place and the fair ranch lasses succeeded in doing the same. Perry Iron-Man” Bruvold received second place rating in the rodeo while German rated third in the fair-sex” di- vision. One of the high-lights of this rodeo was the banquet and the party staged by the Minot ranchers for the en- joyment of all the riders of the rodeo. An assembly program and a radio discussion over KFYR were also given and then the rodeo performers packed up their gear to await the arrival of another season. MEN’S JR. TEAM MEN’S SR. TEAM
