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.

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.

In 1928, the Sheaf named him Saskatchewan's most versatile athlete. Joe Griffiths later described Gratias as one of the greatest all-around athletes to wear the green and white. He received a Major Athletic Award in 1930. Gratias was president of the University Athletic Directorate and went on to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, studying particle physics. Gratias parlayed an MBA into a second career as a research analyst with the Montreal blue-chip firm MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier, specializing in market movements. Gratias died on 23 July 1996 in Ottawa at age 87.
