Bio/Historical Note: The colours green and white were chosen in 1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. The name ‘Huskies’ was included in an article in the 20 September 1932 Star-Phoenix: “The Varsity Stadium yesterday morning saw the advance guard of over twenty gridiron Huskies swing into action.” One of the earliest pictures of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on them was the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, showing the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name. Women's teams were using ‘Huskiettes’ by 1937.

Bio/historical note: In 1948 a new touch rugby scheme went into effect. The game was faster, and the heavy back-fielders totally lost their popularity. The main emphasis was on passing, kicking, and quick end runs. All worked from the "T" formation.

Head and shoulders image of Dan Farthing, Huskies receiver and Canada West all-star in 1988 and 1990, in uniform.

Bio/Historical Note: Dan Farthing (b. 1969) played with the Huskie football team from 1987-1990. In his rookie season Farthing made his mark in football as a receiver with three touchdowns on 31 receptions for 759 yards. He was named the Canada West and CIS Rookie of the Year – just one of five Huskies to ever win a national football award. The next season Farthing scored three touchdowns on 33 receptions for 756 yards, leading the conference and country in receiving. As well as winning the Canada West MVP award, Farthing was named both an all-star and a CIAU All-Canadian. He added another all-star nod in 1990 after helping the Huskies to their first-ever Vanier Cup championship. He was also awarded the Huskie Athletics Rusty MacDonald Cup, given to the athlete who best combines sportsmanship, leadership and athletics. Farthing graduated from the College of Physical Education and was the first student in the college to win the President’s Medal for most distinguished graduate. He was drafted in the CFL in 1991 by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the first round, second overall - the second highest of any Huskie. Farthing had an 11-year career as a receiver with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, starting in 1991. He retired in 2001 and was inducted into the Roughriders Plaza of Honour in 2009.

Huskies fans react following an interception by Kurtis Albers near the Huskie goal line, thus stopping a Stinger rush that threatened to tie the game with seconds to go in the first half.

Bio/Historical Note: In 1990 the Huskies beat the Concordia Stingers 24-17 for their first Vanier Cup win. In 1996 the Huskies won their second championship by defeating the St. Francis Xavier X-Men 31-12. Saskatchewan won their third championship in 1998 by defeating the Concordia Stingers 24-17. All three games were played at Skydome in Toronto.
