Bio/Historical Note: Dorothy (McKenzie) Walton, born in 1909 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan (BA 1929; MA 1931) in 1926. From 1926-1930 she won more than 50 championships at the local, provincial and intervarsity levels. Walton played on 14 U of S athletic teams and was the first female awarded the Oak Shield as the University's outstanding athlete. While a student she represented the school on the intervarsity debate team, was a member of the Athletic Directorate and served as vice president of the Students’ Representative Council. Walton moved to Toronto in 1931 where she took up badminton. In 1939-40 she became the first player to hold Canadian, United States and All-England badminton titles concurrently and was recognized as the premier player in the world. In 1940 she was runner up in voting for the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada's athlete of the year. In a poll by the Canadian Press, Walton was named one of the top six female athletes in Canada for the first half of the 20th century. She was a founding member of the Consumers' Association of Canada and was its first president from 1950-1953. In 1973 Walton was made a Member of the Order of Canada, Canada's highest civilian honour. She is an inductee into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame (1961), the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame (1966), the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame (1971), and the U of S Athletic Wall of Fame (1984). Walton died in 1981 in Toronto.

Bio/Historical Note: Green and white were established as the official colours of U of S sports teams in 1909-1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. But the Huskies name did not appear at that time. Teams were generally referred to as “varsity” or “the green and white” when they played or appeared in media. 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.” The origin of the Huskie name is unclear. One of the earliest images of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on across the front was in the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, showing the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name. By 1937 women’s teams were generally referred to as Huskiettes.

Exams prevented the team from attending the Western Canadian championship. The Huskiettes were undefeated in the 1948-49 season, Ivan King's third as coach of the team. Pat Lawson was the leading scorer, averaging 13 points per game in 18 games. Lydia Yaremchuk was the leading scorer and MVP in the city league, while Peggy Wilton was named the cleanest player.
