His time of 21.4 sec was an Olympic record until 1932, but that may have been because the race was run on a straight course. He was fortunate in his final in that three rivals were penalized one yard for making a false start after he had been somewhat restive on his marks. He won convincingly by three metres.
He was known as the 'Milwaukee Meteor'. He represented the Milwaukee Athletic Club in the Club championship, and scored 15 of their 46 points, which saw them obtain third position.
