Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox NFL biography Edward Henry Halicki (December 23, 1905 – April 27, 1986) was an American football player. He played college football for Bucknell and professional football in the National Football League (NFL) for the Frankford Yellow Jackets (1929-1930) and Minneapolis Red Jackets (1930).
Early years
Halicki was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania, in 1905. He graduated from Hanover Township High School in 1925.[1] He was the captain of Hanover's football, basketball, and baseball teams.[2]
He attended Bucknell University where he played on the football, baseball, and basketball teams from 1925 to 1928. On the football team, he was co-captain as a senior and played at the fullback position.[3] Halicki also served as a place-kicker at Bucknell, successfully converting 18 of 19 extra point kicks as a senior in 1928.[4]
He suffered a broken nose while playing football at Bucknell, and head coach Carl Snavely designed a stainless steel mask covered in leather for Halicki to wear to protect the nose. He became known as the "man with the iron mask."[3]
Professional football
Halicki played professional football in the NFL as a back for the Frankford Yellow Jackets during their 1929 and 1930 season.[5] In a 17–0 victory over Clifton Heights during the 1929 season, he accounted for 10 of Frankford's 17 points on a field goal, a touchdown run, and an extra point.[6]
He finished the 1930 season with the Minneapolis Red Jackets. He appeared in a total of 32 NFL games, 19 of them as a starter. He scored 74 points during his NFL career (10 touchdowns, one field goal, and 11 extra points).[5][7] He also played professional baseball in the St. Louis Cardinals organization.[3][8]
Later years
After his football career ended, he lived in the Askam section of Hanover Township, Pennsylvania. He was a teacher at Hanover Township High School for nearly 40 years from 1932 to 1971.[1] He was also Hanover's football coach for 20 years, compiling a record of 92-77-1.[2][9][10] He also served in the United States Navy during World War II.[1]
In 1983, he was inducted into the Bucknell University Athletic Hall of Fame based on his contributions as an athlete.[3][11]
He died in 1986 at age 80 at St. Stanislaus Medical Center in Sheatown, Pennsylvania.[1][12]
