Quigley was captain and fullback of the University of Pennsylvania football team in 1916.[2] He served as the head football coach at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. from 1921 to 1923.[2] After his football career, Quigley became a successful stockbroker and settled down in La Jolla, California. There he formed the idea of establishing a horse racetrack on the Del Mar Fairgrounds, inspired by the success of the Santa Anita Park racetrack in Arcadia, California that opened on Christmas 1934. He subsequently won over Bing Crosby and on May 6, 1936, Quigley and Crosby filed for articles of incorporation with California and founded the Del Mar turf Club. Quigley became the original General Manager / Director of Racing of the Del Mar racetrack, which opened on July 3, 1937.[3][4] Quigley was still vice president and general manager of the Del Mar Turf Club when he died at the age of 49 in Pasadena. He is interred at the Waterside Cemetery in Marblehead, Massachusetts near his birth place.[5][6] References1. ^[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6S6Q-XYY?i=271&cc=1536925 William Quigley] in Massachusetts Births, 1841-1915 {{Saint Joseph's Hawks football coach navbox}}{{George Washington Colonials football coach navbox}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Quigley, William}}2. ^{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/whoswhoinamerica00unse|title=Who's Who in American Sports|publisher=National Biographical Society|year=1928|access-date=March 22, 2018}} 3. ^Amy Williams, [https://sandiegohistory.org/journal/v58-3/v58-3williams.pdf The Del Mar Race Track 75 Years of Turf and Surf], in The Journal of San Diego History 58:3, Summer 2012 4. ^Jörgen Nilsson and Amanda Duckworth, [https://www.gallop-magazine.com/turf-meets-surf/ Where the Turf meets the Surf], in Gallop Magazine, 2018 (?) 5. ^1 Obituary in the Daily News from New York, New York, of March 25, 1942 6. ^{{findagrave|147469890}} 8 : 1892 births|1942 deaths|American horse racing industry executives|George Washington Colonials football coaches|People from Beverly, Massachusetts|People from La Jolla, San Diego|Penn Quakers football players|Saint Joseph's Hawks football coaches |
