From the 1912 BOMB: "It is the ambition of every Agricultural student at Iowa State College to represent the college on some one of our judging teams. The popularity of these contests has been growing and the field widening in recent years until they have become an important part of the school's activities. During the past year,four teams from ISC have taken part in intercollegiate judging contests. These teams have competed with a total of twenty-three teams from other colleges and have won two firsts, a third, and a fifth place. The first team to enter the field was the Royal Stock Judging team that competed at the Kansas City show with teams from three other colleges. It was composed of E. M. Cassady, F. R. Long, P. S. Shearer, C. F. Gobble and E. I. Quafe, with Rex Beresford as alternate. This team won first place defeating Missouri by a margin of over sixty points and brought to ISC a magnificent silver trophy. The Dairy team (Harry Mayhew, F. W. Shields and R. S. Middleton) took fifth place at a contest. The Apple Judging team took first honors at the National Fruit Show at Council Bluffs. This team was the second of its kind from this college. Its members were F. F. Silver, F. E. McCall, B. B. Wilson, F. L. Overley and S. K. White. Most interest centered around the International at Chicago. Missouri presented a team of experienced men who won the contest, while Ames had to be content with three points less than Nebraska, the second team. The 1910 Iowa State Livestock Judging Team took third at the Chicago International and first at the Kansas City Royal."
