Add period after Dartmouth in lead.

Lead needs expanded.
Any source for Barney being his nickname?
- Added to body with a source.
Any source for "Sr."
- I based it on his son being Karl Jr., but I'm not finding any sources saying he's Karl Sr.... removed for now.
Add "Karl Leavitt Thielscher" to the body since that was his birth name.
- Done.
New high school infobox formatting.
- Done.
His PFA profile says he was with Dartmouth from 1913 to 1916 and was a three-year letterman. Add that to the body and infobox.

"Thielscher was given the rank of lieutenant." No source
- Moved around and added a source.
Is there a link for Camp Robinson?
- Four newspaper matches for "thielscher camp robinson" (1) but none specify the place. I see several Camp Robinsons at Camp Robinson – not sure if it was one of those or which one it was...
That note needs sources.
- Added a ref.
link fair catch.
- Done.
"After APFA official Eugene W. Garson was severely injured in a Buffalo All-Americans game" The heck? That's gonna need some details, lol.

- Done.
"couple had two sons, Karl Jr., and David, both of which played college football at Dartmouth College." Remove College and just put Dartmouth, Dartmouth College was already spelled out two sentences before.

"Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church" looks like there is a link for that (Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church)
- Done.
