Cornell University Athletics

A two-time All-America quarterback, Barrett was captain of Cornell’s 1915 undefeated national championship team. Considered one of the greatest players who ever wore the colors of Cornell, Barrett was the mainstay of that great 1915 team, which swept all opponents, including Harvard, which had not lost a game in four years. He chose the plays, called the signals and was a triple threat man in every respect. He also handled the kicking and punting chores for the Big Red. Barrett was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1958.
