Edit ProfileCareer
He played at the end position for the Harvard Crimson football team of Harvard University, and was twice selected as an All-American, in 1890 and 1892. He was also a center fielder on Harvard"s baseball team Hallowell played end for the Harvard football team from 1889 to 1892.
In 1890, a newspaper profile of the Harvard team noted that Hallowell"s play on defense was not yet up to his offense:
Despite the criticism of his defense, Hallowell played well enough on offense to be picked as one of two ends on the 1890 College Football All-America Team.
Before the start of the 1891 football season, The New York Times wrote of Hallowell: "Hallowell was the most promising of the new players last year, and put up a splendid game when he appeared on the field He is quick, strong, a very fast runner, and a close imitator of Cumnock in his tackling." However, Hallowell sustained a knee injury and was "laid up nearly the whole of the season."
Hallowell also played baseball for Harvard as a center fielder.
He was known for both his hitting and fielding. In June 1892, Hallowell was involved in a play that resulted in a serious injury to Yale"s catcher Carter.
While trying to score, Hallowell "had a terrific collision with Carter at the plate." Despite being knocked unconscious and having his nose broken in the collision, Carter insisted on playing in the next inning.
Later in the game, Carter became "delirious and weak" and was taken to a Boston hotel where he was in critical condition. Newspapers reported that Carter "has been insane ever since the accident."
After graduating from Harvard, Hallowell remained affiliated with Harvard"s football team as coach from during the period from 1893 through at least 1901. Hallowell remained a fierce supporter of Harvard"s football team
When Hallowell was married, the congregation in the "sedate" Boston church gasped when he knelt at the altar.
On the sole of his left shoe was written "To hell", and on the right was written "With Yale!".
