Ellery Channing Huntington, Jr. (March 11, 1893 – July 2, 1987) was an American football quarterback who played college football at Colgate University.[1] He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1972. He was also the 19th head football coach for the Colgate University Raiders, holding that position for three seasons, from 1919 until 1921. His overall coaching record at Colgate was 10 wins, 10 losses, and 5 ties. This ranks him 11th at Colgate in terms of total wins and 21st at Colgate in terms of winning percentage. [2]

In World War II, Huntington worked directly for William J. Donovan in the Office of Strategic Services and was instrumental in secret work for the Allies, especially during the invasion of North Africa.[3]
