A. Barr Snively
Abraham Barr Snively II (February 9, 1899 – April 15, 1964) was an American football player and coach of lacrosse, football, and ice hockey. He played football for Princeton University from 1921 to 1923 and was captain of the 1923 team. He held coaching positions at Williams College in lacrosse, football and hockey from 1928 to 1948 and at the University of New Hampshire from 1953 to 1964.
Snively was a native of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. He was the son of A. Barr Snively I (c. 1869 – October 1944), a prominent physician and surgeon in Waynesboro, and Mary Carlisle Snively. Snively played football at Waynesboro High School on a team that The Daily News (Frederick, Maryland) called "the best foot ball team ever representing the Waynesboro High School."
Snively served in the U.S. military during World War I. After leaving the military, Snively enrolled at Mercersburg Academy where he received varsity letters in five sports, graduating in 1919. He subsequently attended Princeton University from which he graduated in 1924. He played as a guard for the Princeton Tigers football team from 1921 to 1923. Despite playing in the line, Snively became known as "the best forward-passer in the East." In December 1922, he was voted as the captain of the 1923 Princeton football team. Throughout his athletic career as a player and coach, Snively was known by the nickname "Whoop" (sometimes "Whoops").
In 1925, Snively became the head coach of the Rumford High School football team in Rumford, Maine.
In 1928, Snively became an assistant football coach, in charge of linemen, at Williams College, working under College Football Hall of Fame inductee Charlie Caldwell. In April 1929, Snively was hired by Brown University as its line coach under head coach Tuss McLaughry. Snively also coached lacrosse at Brown.
Snively returned to Williams College in 1932. Over the next 11 years, he resumed his duties as line coach for the football team and also served as the head coach of the lacrosse and men's ice hockey teams.
Snively took a leave of absence from Williams in 1942 to serve with the Red Cross in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II. Williams discontinued its football program during the war years from 1943 to 1945.
In March 1945, Williams was hired as an assistant football coach at Dartmouth College under head coach Tuss McLaughry.
