Coaching profile at Pro Football Reference

Barr played college football for the Wisconsin Badgers in 1922.^[1] His ability to participate had been in question before the season, but he managed to qualify by attending summer school at the University of Michigan and passing examinations prior to the September start of football season.^[2]

On November 25, 1923, as the quarterback for the Legion, Barr was tackled twice in the end zone during a game against the Chicago Cardinals causing the Cards to register a pair of safeties in a 10–4 loss to the Legion — the only four-point game in NFL history.^[3]

In 1924 Barr punted 40 times for Racine and averaged 65 yards per punt.
