Scope and content

Head and shoulders image of Martin Ruby, Huskie football line coach.

Bio/Historical Note: Martin Owen Ruby (1922-2002) was an offensive tackle and defensive tackle for the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers in the All-America Football Conference; New York Yanks of the National Football League; and the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Western Interprovincial Football Union. Ruby played for the Roughriders from 1951-1957. He was selected as one of six Roughriders named to the 1956 Canadian Press Western Interprovincial Football Union All-Star Team. Ruby and a teammate, defensive back Larry Isbell (who also had a University of Saskatchewan Huskies football connection), barely missed taking an ill-fated Vancouver to Montreal Trans-Canada Airlines plane which experienced engine failure above Hope, British Columbia, on 10 December 1956. They had tickets on the following flight to Montreal after passing on the earlier flight. The missing plane's pilot turned back at Princeton, British Columbia, while facing snow and ice. The Trans Canada airliner, carrying 62 people, went down in the Chilliwack Mountain region of British Columbia. Ruby had just finished playing in the East–West All-Star Game.
