Some sources[which?] report him as the first goalscorer in the history of World Cup preliminary competition, having scored what would be an own goal for Sweden against Estonia 7 minutes into the game, on 11 June 1933, in Stockholm. Some other sources[which?] consider this was not an own goal, and that it was actually scored by Swedish captain Knut Kroon.
Tipner was mainly a goalkeeper, but he also played in his club as a striker. He was a good penalty taker as well.
Tipner played 7 games and scored 9 goals for national team during 1927–1934.
In 1924 he played one game for national hockey team.
