University of Saskatchewan Women's Swimming Team - Group Photo

Team members at poolside (l to r): Helen Preston, E. Yule, Ethel Mary Cartwright (coach), M. Jonsson, D. Preston.

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.
