Bio/Historical Note: Kenneth Dale West (b. 1941) was an outstanding Saskatchewan athlete, excelling in football, track and field, speed skating and baseball. In 1951 at the age of ten, Dale West was the Canadian bantam boys speed skating champion. West had an outstanding high school football career at Bedford Road in Saskatoon. He held high school track and field titles in 100-yard and 220-yard sprints, triple jump, discus, and javelin. This led to accolades at the provincial and national level. In 1960 he was named first alternate on the 1960 Canadian Winter Olympic Games squad. At age 17 West attended the University of Arizona on a football scholarship where he lettered for the varsity team. He returned to Saskatchewan, attended the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and was named to the Western Conference All-Star team at defensive back. West later graduated from the University of Regina. In 1962 West joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders as flanker. In 1963 he was named all-star safety and was the Western nominee for Most Valuable Canadian Player. He earned All-Star nods again in 1964 and 1965. 1966 brought a Grey Cup victory to the Riders. West retired from football in 1968.

Bio/Historical Note: Lawrence Dale Isbell (1930-1978) was one of the rare players to be All-American in both baseball and in football. He was an All-American quarterback in 1951, when he guided the Baylor Bears football team to the Orange Bowl; he threw for 26 career touchdowns in college. In 1952 Isbell was named All-American catcher by the American Baseball Coaches Association. That season he set a school record with a .431 average; through 2008, he still ranked second in Baylor Bears baseball annals for best single-season average, behind only Mickey Sullivan. Isbell played minor league baseball for the Boston Red Sox and Brooklyn Dodgers organizations. He also played from 1954-1958 with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as an all-star defensive back, as well as a punter, quarterback and wide receiver. Isbell was working as a car salesman in Clifton, Texas, when he died of a heart attack in 1978.

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.
