Senior Women's Swimming Team - Group Photo

Members of team pose in swim suits by the [Qu'Appelle Hall] pool. Back row: Grace Hardy, Betty Moore, Marion Proctor and Mary Boyd; Front row: Mary Varey and Pat Willis.

Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan’s first pool opened in 1916. Located in the basement of Qu'Appelle Hall, it was 18 feet wide, 45 feet long and around 8 feet deep with a spring board and changing rooms. Speed swimming, diving, water polo and recreational swimming soon became popular activities in the long Saskatchewan winters. The pool closed soon after the Physical Education pool opened in October 1964.

University of Saskatchewan Freshman Women's Basketball Team - Group Photo

Action shot of freshman women's basketball team; players visible are A. Kempthorne, Z. Belak, and B. Searcy.

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.

Bio/Historical Note: John Logan came to the University of Saskatchewan (BSc.1929; BE.1934) from Yorkton in 1927. During his seven years on campus he competed in basketball, football and hockey. Logan quarterbacked the Huskies football team for five years. Logan was on the hockey team for three years and the basketball team for two seasons. He was a captain on both the football and hockey teams. For his accomplishments, Logan received a Major Athletic Award. He also was president of the University Athletic Directorate in 1933-34.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Doris I. Miller earned a Bachelor of Physical and Health Education from the University of Toronto (1961), an MA from University of Oregon (1964) and was the first PhD graduate (1970) from Penn State University’s new biomechanics program. She later earned a Master’s in Divinity from University of Victoria (1990). Dr. Miller's sport biomechanics research spanned four decades investigating a variety of sports, but her true passion focused on diving biomechanics. Dr. Miller is considered a world leader in diving research and was a pioneer in bridging the gap between scientific research and coaching. In her PhD thesis, Dr. Miller developed a 3D multisegmented dynamic model to investigate flight characteristics of diving performance which required a computer mainframe program that used over 3,000 punch cards to create (Wikipedia link to what punch cardcomputing is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card). Dr. Miller was a diving coach at the University of Saskatchewan before becoming a faculty member at University of Washington and later University of Western Ontario (now Western University). From 1983-2009 Dr. Miller was a Performance Enhancement Team member for USA Diving and a biomechanist for the Olympic Medal Program. She collected data live at the Fifth World Aquatics Championships in Madrid (1986) and at the Olympic Games in Atlanta (1996) among a host of other international diving competitions. In Madrid and Atlanta, the 10-m diving tower was instrumented with a force plate to capture data live on all competitive dives. During that time, she also worked with Canada’s high-performance divers. As a result, Dr. Miller created an extensive database of all the international divers that she used to create coaching software that permitted the comparison of any diver’s biomechanical data to those of Internationally ranked competitors. This broke the barrier between sport biomechanics research and coaching. Dr. Miller was a founding member of the International Society of Biomechanics, the American Biomechanics Society and the Canadian Society of Biomechanics. She was the sixth president of the American Society of Biomechanics (1984). Dr. Miller was recognized in 2009 by the American Society of Biomechanics with the Jim Hay Memorial Award for Research in Sports Biomechanics. She is a Canadian Society of Biomechanics Career Award recipient and is a Fellow of both the Canadian Society of Biomechanics and the International Sports Biomechanics Society.She is an Honourary Member of the International Society of Biomechanics (2024)..
