To recognize the University of North Dakota's tradition of athletic excellence, this year the UND Letterwinners Association announced that it would induct complete teams into the UND Athletic Hall of Fame for the very first time. Among the teams inducted over the course of this year will be two football teams, two hockey teams and two men's basketball teams. The football teams going into UND's Athletic Hall of Fame tonight are the 1930 team and the 1966 team.

The 1930 team, often referred to as UND's "White House" team, was 9-1 under Head Coach C.A. "Jack" West. UND won its first six games that year, the first five by shutout, before getting beat, 33-6, in its seventh game by the United States Military Academy.

UND won the third of four consecutive North Central Conference titles in 1930 and visited the White House on Nov. 5, 1930 on a trip to Washington, D.C. The team had its picture taken with President Herbert Hoover. One of the key players on the 1930 team was Glenn "Red" Jarrett, who earned New York News first team All-America honors and honorable mention from the Associated Press. Jarrett still holds a UND record of scoring at least one touchdown in 17 consecutive games.
