Bio	He was a high-ranking professional American tennis player of the 1930s. Barnes attended Austin High School. As a collegiate player at the University of Texas, Austin he won the NCAA doubles championship in 1931 partnering Karl Kamrath. He played on Dr. Penick’s great teams from 1929 to 1931. He lost the singles final to Keith Gledhill of Stanford in four sets. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity. Barnes won 23 collegiate titles as an amateur. He was the first player ever to win the double Grand Slam—winning both singles and doubles titles of the Southwest Conference each of his three years of varsity competition. Barnes won his 3 doubles crowns with three different partners: Berkeley Bell, Earl Taylor and Karl Kamrath. Barnes was one of the world’s first professional tennis players and brought fame to the university through his world travels playing before the crowned heads of Europe with such greats as Bill Tilden, Ellsworth Vines, Fred Perry, Don Budge and George Lott. He was a pioneer in the beginning of modern professional tennis in the 1930s and 1940s. As a professional, he won the 1933 world men's doubles championship with Bill Tilden, and lost the finals of the 1937 United States Professional Championship to Karel Koželuh and the 1938 finals to Fred Perry. In 1943, with the ranks of players severely depleted by World War II, he won the championship by beating John Nogrady. He was ranked World No. 7 in Ray Bowers' pro rankings for both 1938 and 1942 (and in the amateur-pro combined rankings for the latter). Barnes was the coach of the United States Davis Cup team in 1939. He was inducted into the Texas Tennis Museum & Hall of Fame in 1981.
