His next two first-class appearances for Middlesex in 1931 and 1933 were both against Cambridge University, while his fourth first-class appearance came in the 1933 County Championship against Glamorgan.[2] He scored a total of 56 runs in his four appearances, averaging 9.33, with a high score of 32.[3]
