Cornell University Athletics

Halsted was a two-time, first-team Helms Foundation All-American and was widely considered one of the greatest players of his generation. The 6-2 center was named National Player of the Year by Helms following his senior season. Halsted was a two-year captain of EIBL championship teams. Halsted led the EIBL in scoring both his junior and senior seasons. He was a first-team all-league pick both seasons and captured all-New York State honors as well. Halsted's Cornell teams went 31-13 over his three seasons, including 25-6 over the final two. Cornell won two EIBL titles (1913 and 1914) and had an opportunity, as champions of the East, to play a national championship game against Wisconsin, champions of the West. Wisconsin refused the invitation.
