Early life

Halliday was born on April 28, 1883[1] He was the son of Samuel D. Halliday an Ithaca, New York lawyer who graduated from Cornell in 1870.[2] The younger Halliday attended public schools through high school in Ithaca.[1]

College

Halliday attended college at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York where he graduated in 1906 with a law degree.[1] While at Cornell he lettered in football under coach Bill Warner in 1903, and Bill's brother Pop Warner in 1904 and 1905.[3] During his career he was one of the first football player to wear a helmet to protect his head during the game.[4] The 1903 team won the first six games before losing three of the last four games and finishing with a 6–3–1 record.[5] During the 1903 season Halliday had to sit out several weeks due to injury.[2] He helped the Big Red to a 7–3 record in 1904 and a 6–4 in 1905.[5] Halliday's leadership led him to be selected as president of the Quill and Dagger society.

Coaching career

After graduating from Cornell, Halliway became head football coach at Hamilton College for the 1906 season.[2] That season he completed a 1–5–2 record.[6]

The following year, while practicing law in Ithaca, he became an assistant coach at Cornell under Henry Schoellkopf.[7] This assistant coach position was part of a new system implemented by the university’s Athletic Council to run the football program after Pop Warner left. The council created a “field committee” of three people to be charge of coaching the 1907 season. The committee was set up to consist of the captain of the team and two former players who have earned a varsity football letter. Halliday along with head coach Henry Schoellkopf were named as the former players while George Tandy Cook was named as the captain.[2][8] The team finished with a record of 8–2 including a victory over national power Princeton and losses to Penn and Penn State.[5]

Political career

A Republican, Halliway was elected District Attorney of Tompkins County in 1909 and won reelection in 1912. In 1916, he was elected to New York State Senate over Democrat Robert P. Bush and three other people. He represented the forty-first Senate District composed of Tompkins, Schuyler, Chemung and Tioga Counties.[1] In 1918, he resigned his seat to enter the United States Army Air Service.[9]

Later life

Halliway went to officers training in the Aviation Division of Signal Air Corps Reserve in San Antonio, Texas.[10] He earned a rank of Lieutenant.[11] He was discharged from the Air Service in 1919 and returned to Ithaca. He set up a law practice with fellow Cornell alumni John Alfred Kelly and E. Morgan St. Johns.[11]

Later he moved to Cleveland, Ohio where he was assistant vice president of Union Trust Company. He also led the Cleveland Association of Manager and Owners of Building for a time. He died after a short illness on May 16, 1943. At the time of his death, he was President of the Union Lennox Company and owner of the Union Commerce Building, the largest bank building in Cleveland.[4]
