In later life, Halliday was involved in property management in Cleveland, Ohio.

Early life

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, Halliday became head football coach at Hamilton College for the 1906 season.^[2] That season, team compiled a record of 1–5–2.^[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]
