He started both in the individual competitions in the 400m, where he reached the quarterfinals, and in the 4 x 400 - meter relay team, which contested the occupation Cecil Griffiths, Lindsay, John Ainsworth -Davis and Guy Butler and 3: 22.2 minutes ago South Africa Gold ( silver in 3:24,2 min) and France won ( bronze in 3:24,8 minutes).

His first and only AAA championship over 440 yards he won in 1921 ( 50.4 sec ) after in previous years, Guy Butler ( 1919) and the South African Bevil Rudd (1920 ) had been successful. In the years 1914-1918 no championships were held due to the war.
