Ahead to Hard
Football Year
Acquisition of Barrett and
Cook Should Put Blue
and White in Big Race

Columbia is busily preparing for the
coming football season, fully de-
termined to make 1921 the biggest grid
iron year that Morningside Heights
mas ever known. The appointment Of
Charles E. ("Doc"D Barrett as trainer
and conditioner of teams at the local
institution comes as significant and
important detail in the plans for the
season. Notification to thirty-eight
grid veterans to report in New York
on September IL for an intensive train
ing period at Camp Vail, N. j., prior to
the opening of college is another sig
nificant sign in the preparations being
made by the Blue and White football
powers.
doc" Barrett will take up his duties
at Columbia on September /. He comes
with an enviable record of service that
began back in 1894. At that time he
took up the work of training and con-
ditloning athletes, devoting his atten-
ton at first chiefly to bicycle riders.
Shortly after his name came into
prominence in the world of sport as
the trainer and conditioner Of the
Worcester High School crew, which in
1897 won the national intermediate
eight-oar championship at Philadelphia
His most impressive work began at
Williams College the following year.
There he has served for twenty-three
years as trainer and conditioner of the
Williams teams. During his period Of
service at Williamstown he has gained
ar fl1r IL
the now famous Benny Boynton, who
during his academic residence at the
New England college never missed a
single practice, workout or game. Time
and again when it was thought
that the Puppies mainstay would be
unable to take part in a contest it was
doc" Barrett who had him in shape
to take his place with his teammates
Former Yankee Trainer
"Doc" Barrett has been active in pro-
fessional baseball as we'll as in COL
legiate circles. From 1907 to 1914 he
was conditioner and trainer for the
New York Yankees and is now scout
for Connie Mack. He recently sue
ceeded In signing a namesake, Billy
Barrett, and all-round athlete, for the
Philadelphia American League team.
Barrett's baseball abilities are as null
tiplied as his general athletic prowess.
In one game lately he pitched and
played shortstop during game.
The notices sent out to the Columbia
football warriors to report on Sep
TENDER IL mark the realization of
dreams at Morningside Heights during
the last five years. The training camp
is reality. On that date the Blue
and White gridiron force will 70 to
Camp Vail and there prepare for a
series of contests which will approx
mate the schedules of twenty years ago.
With the squad will go Buck O'Neill,
Joe Brooks, who has also come to
Columbia from Williams; Tom Thorpe,
Doc Barrett, Phil King, Princeton end
in 1922, and doc" Cook, who is to be
coach of freshman football, basketball
and baseball teams at Columbia. COM

successes at De Witt Clinton High
School and other institutions. The
