Bates won the IC4A indoor and outdoor long jump titles in 1927 and 1928, his winning mark of 24-10¾ (7.59) in the 1928 outdoor meet being the best of his career and remained the best mark in Penn State history until 1984.

The Olympic gold medal went to USA’s Ed Hamm (7.73m), whom Bates had beaten at the final trials; Haitian Silvio Cator (7.58m) won silver.
