Later, with his club mate Hjalmar Lorichs , another player ran for the selection. Meanwhile, the team entered the central Swedish competition Mellansvenska series , which the club finished as champions in 1914. Just three years later, however, he only finished last in the table and was relegated from the series. Two years later, the team returned and played in the back of the table in the following years.
