How to do this in MATLAB without for loops

Hi,
I have 4 vectors x1, x2, x3, and x4 all of size N-by-1. I need to select two vectors such that their minimum values are the maximum among all. How can I do that in MATLAB without using for loops?
Thanks

What about using an Nx4 matrix (or a cell array) instead of x1, x2, ...
In general x1, x2, ... naming is a bad idea:

EDIT
n = 4;
a = eval(['[',sprintf('x%d,',1:n),']']);
[~,idx] = sort(min(a),'descend');
out = a(:,idx(1:2))

There is even no general case of x1, x2, x3, ... as long as Matlab cannot handle x_inf.
I think I should publish a Mex function "Unpoof('x', a, b)", which concatenates the contents of the variables x<a> to x<b> to the variable x and use the ASSIGNIN equivalent to put x into the caller workspace.
